SAFETY GUIDELINES MA-5096-E MV APPLICATOR MANUAL 1. SAFETY GUIDELINES General The information contained in this section applies not only to everyday machine operation, but also to any procedure carried out on it, whether for preventive maintenance or in the case of repairs and the replacement of worn out parts.
The manual applicator does not presents any risks in terms of mechanical movements. Electrical components The MV applicator operates with a one-phase current LN ~ 230V 50Hz + PE at a certain rated power. Be sure the the applicator connector is placed correctly on the hose electrical connector.
MA-5096-E MV APPLICATOR MANUAL Materials Meler applicators for adhesives are designed for use with different hot-melt adhesives. They should not be used with any other type of material, which may cause personal injury or damage to internal system components. Always use original Meler’ components and replacement parts, which guarantee the correct system operation and service.

MV APPLICATOR MANUAL 2. INTRODUCTION Description The Meler manual MV applicator is used to apply adhesive vertically on horizontal surfaces, for both swirl and bead applications. The manual applicator is held by the grip and its natural position is with the nozzle pointing downwards, as shown in the image.
MELER GLUING SOLUTIONS INTRODUCTION Intended use The manual MV applicator is designed for use in the following conditions: • Applicators for melting and pumping adhesive up to a temperature of 200ºC. • Use the applicator with Meler parts or accessories.
Unpacking Before installing the manual applicator, it should be removed from the packaging and inspected to detect any possible deterioration or damage. Notify your Meler Representative or the Main Office of any defect, even to the outer packaging. Introduction The manual MV applicator is supplied with the necessary elements for its installation and use.

The flow of adhesive needed for application is not adjusted from the MV applicator, but from the melter unit of the corresponding installation. If the Meler melter is supplied with a piston pump, the flow is adjusted by the pressure regulator on the equipment.
MELER GLUING SOLUTIONS USING THE APPLICATOR Adjusting the air flow (applicator for swirling) The air flow is adjusted from the applicator itself. Make sure that the applicator is receiving a pressure of 6 bar. The applicator is equipped with a mechanical air choke on the applicator body.

MAINTENANCE MA-5096-E MV APPLICATOR MANUAL 3- Remove the 4 screws on the cover and the screw that keeps the trigger connected to the grip. All these steps can be performed using an Allen wrench. 4- Pull the trigger up gently so that none of the pneumatic tube gaskets are lost.
MELER GLUING SOLUTIONS MAINTENANCE Replacing the module Warning: Make sure that the applicator is hot before starting to extract the module. In addition, bleed the pressure from the system and purge it to remove any residual pressure that may remain inside the applicator. Likewise, cut off the air supply to the applicator.
