Air Hookup
2.6 Air Hookup
The CMT 130 requires non-lubricated, com-
pressed air at a minimum of
5
cubic feet per
minute at 80-90 PSI. The main air connector
shown in Figure 2-23 is a female 3/8 NPT port.
A facilities maintenance technician should con-
nect shop air using a male 3/8 NPT fitting using
either Teflon thread tape or a liquid, pipe seal-
ing compound.

Using a flexible hose to connect the machine to
shop air is preferred in case the location of the
machine needs adjustment later. A line
dropped from the ceiling is also preferred. Hav-
ing the line off the floor keeps it clear of the
waste bin.
2.7 Cleaning
It may be necessary to clean the machines after
installation. They may be cleaned with a solu-
tion of dish soap and water. Do not use petro-
leum or acid based solvents to clean the ma-
chine. Damage may result.
