Adjust the operating temperature:
MX Adhesive
- If the knob is at the 12 o’clock position; turn it to 11 o’clock and if at the
1 o’clock position turn to 12 o’clock. Allow approximately 30 minutes for the machine
to achieve the correct new temperature.
RP Adhesive
- If the knob is at the 11 o’clock position; turn it to 12 o’clock and if at the
12 o’clock position turn to 1 o’clock. Allow approximately 30 minutes for the machine
to achieve the correct new temperature.

Also it is important to keep the entire coating roller hot. Consequently, when you first
start using it in the morning or if you have not used it for a while during the day, turn
on the motor for 30 seconds before you use it to get the roller hotter.

If you are using it to coat multiple prints, then leave the motor running and you will find
any stringiness should be reduced or eliminated. Also make sure you keep the adhesive
level up to keep the roller hot. The adhesive should not come off on your fingers and
will not at the correct temperature.
Trouble Shooting Guide
Start Up
Issue:
The ready light will not come on after 55 minutes, so the motor will not run even though
the adhesive is melted.
Cause:
This is very rare, but can happen the first time you use Maxit due to a thermostat in the
machine being impacted during shipping.
Solution:
A slight adjustment is needed on the motor thermostat. Contact your local dealer and
they will email you the instructions. Once you make the correct adjustment, you should not
need to do it again.
Issue:
The adhesive is melting, but not getting hot enough.
Cause:
Not enough power coming into the Maxit due to too many items plugged into the same
outlet or using a poor grade extension cord. Also, make sure the temperature knob has not
been moved to the left, lower than the 11:00 position.
Solution:
Remove other items from outlet. Also see if you can plug directly into outlet instead
of using the extension cord. If you must use a cord, it needs to be heavy gauge.
Issue:
Smoke coming out of adhesive in tray or very strong odour.
Cause:
The Maxit is running too hot. It is not unusual for the Maxit to run hotter in your
premises than in our quality control room due to voltage variations. Also, running the motor for
long periods of time will heat up the adhesive significantly.
Solution:
turn the temperature knob slightly to the left. If you are at the 1:00 position, turn it to
12:00. If at 12:00, turn to 11:00. The Maxit takes around 30 minutes to reset the overall
temperature.
