Air Supply
It is very important the air source for
the SG8MTS machine be moisture
free. Water and oil in the line will result
in early cylinder and valve failure. The
factory recommends installing a water
trap at the machine.
Attach a 100 PSI air source to the
appropriate intake in the small enclosure
located on the left rear of the machine
near the bottom.
Air Adjustments
Float
The float regulator is located at the rear of the spindle base on the bottom of the interconnect box.
If the machine is not floating properly, it could be from too much or too little air from the regulator. Turn
the regulator all the way off (full counter clockwise). Start turning the regulator slowly clockwise while
continually checking the Work Head for proper floatation. Once the correct float is established, lock the
regulator into place by pushing in on the blue adjusting knob.
Use as little air as possible to achieve correct floatation. Using too much air will
could cause the spindle base to move slightly to the right when going into tilt.
This will cause a scratch up the side of the cylinder.
