How do you adjust the output pressure of the Flatline 68/3000. I just recieved my RT and this tank and it says that the output right now is only 500~600 or so.

On the front end of the reg there is a locking ring that requires a wrench to loosen.

Loosend that and then use an allen wrench (the same one used for velocity adjustments) to change the output pressure.

The reg basically works like the 'mag valve. It just has the locking ring to keep it from backing out.

u need to de-gas your gun, then adjust, then gas...if you leave it gassed up, you can sit and turn it round and round and you'll never be able to tell what ur doin

not really.........if you are increasing the pressure, it will show imdediately as you increase it. tkae a couple shots to let it settle and you are done........no de-gassing needed. if you are lowering the pressure, just shoot while you adjust it, it will go down.

I have the same regulator on my tank and I adjusted it without degasing it, but I also have a gauge up on the rail near the ait input, That gauge comes in handy. I have found out that if you set your out put pressure on the tank, the pressure going into the valve is slightly lower due to the filter in the fore grip. In my case I wanted to set my output pressure at 800 but the restriction made me turn it up to 900. Just my $.02
