MC9 1 stage setting Riparazione e Manutenzione Erogatori • MC9 S.C. 1 stage setting procedures, referring to the picture on page 57: • Connect the setting pressure gauge with one of the first stage LP ports • Connect the whole regulator (including both 1st and 2nd stages) with a 200 bars pressurized tank, or with an equally pressurized workbench.
Page 56
Regulators repair and maintenance • Check the pressure on the gauge. MC9 first stage is correctly set at an intermediate pressure of 10 bars. If it is different, close the air valve and discharge the regulator. Use a 6 mm. Allen wrench to turn clockwise (+) the setting screw, in order to increase the first stage intermediate pressure.
