jbl co2 proflora m500 setting up

[tovtm]

hi recently brought a secon Hand jbl proflora m500 kit. went to connect the regulator to the bottle last night but although I've done the nut up as tight as I can by hand the regulator is still loose and loads of movement in it. I thought this is normal as it was tight so turned the bottle on and I heard a loud gushing noise and the regulator part popped forward slightly so i quickly turned it off. so I'm guessing it was all exscapping? is this normal for this model and just turn it on and it will self lock after that?

Is there a seal fitted to the regulator? There should be one that seals between the reg and the bottle.

You also need to use an appropriately sized spanner/wrench to tighten the regulator onto the bottle properly. Hand tight is not tight enough.

I'm assuming the bottle is a refillable-type - 500g?

yes that's the bottle however you can't get a spanner on the connection as it's like this (the round silver nut/tightening) and this is a picture of the set up I have . any ideas?

I had the same regs
1 you can use grip wrench to tighten the nut
2 there should be a washer on the piece of the regs that goes into the gas bottle if this is missing you can contact jbl to find out where to get a replacement
