air launcher help

This is my first car with a 'chute. There is a brass valve (made by Clippard) with a toggle on the end of it, that I believe is for charging the launcher. I know how to plumb it, but I'm not 100% clear on how to operate it. The toggle operates a small shaft/valve that allows CO2 to fill the cylinder. Correct? Do you have someone operate the toggle before the run? Or do you just turn it 'on' and leave it? What is the function of the 'exhaust port'? Could this valve be mounted inside the car so the driver could operate it?

Also, what pressure range should the regulator be set at? I'm using the launcher, a shifter, and a K&N Pro Stage2 enhancer.

Thanks for helping out an 'old fart rookie'!
