Riparazione Manutenzione Manutenzione Erogatori Erogatori • MC5 1 stage setting procedure, as shown in the picture on page 44: • Assemble the setting pressure-gauge on one of the LP ports of the 1st stage • Assemble the whole regulator (including 1st and 2nd stages) on a 200 bar pressurized tank, or on an equally pressurized test-bed.
Page 43
Regulators repair and maintenance • Check the pressure shown by the gauge. MC5 1st stage is correctly set when the intermediate pressure is 10 bar. Should it be different, close the air tap and discharge the regulator. Insert a 0,24 in. Allen wrench in the setting screw and screw clockwise (+)in order to increase the 1st stage intermediate pressure.
