IMPORTANT:
Each valve must be fully primed (lubricant flows
in a steady stream) before adjusting the spray.
Adjust the Spray
1. As a starting point, select one valve and adjust the Flow
Control knob so that lubricant flows from the valve at the
rate of approximately one drop per second.
2. Note the number set on the graduated dial of the open
Flow Control. Set the flow for each remaining valve to the
same setting.
3. Turn the Nozzle Air regulator clockwise until pressure
reads between 0.55 to 0.69 bar (8 to 10 psi) and the valve
begins to spray. Thicker lubricants may require 0.83 to
1.03 bar (12 to 15 psi). Push the knob in to lock.
4. Set the mode switch to Auto/Run. The spray will shut off.
The valves are ready to spray when the press is stamping.
5. After starting the press, adjust the Flow Control knobs as
needed to provide proper lubricant coverage.
Preventive Maintenance
The MicroCoat System is designed for long life with minimal maintenance. To ensure trouble-free performance,
follow these precautions and preventive maintenance steps.
Before performing any maintenance, set the System Pressure Switch to the Off position and depressurize the tank
reservoir by lifting the lever on the tank pressure relief valve.
WARNING
• Always use clean lubricant.
• Check for residue at the bottom of the tank reservoir and clean if necessary.
• Do not clean the MC685M or the MC686M tank with chlorinated solvents, aromatic hydrocarbons or any fluid that
will attack acrylics. Use only soap and water, or mineral spirits to clean acrylic tank surfaces.
• Operate the system with clean, dry, oil-free air. Drain the bowl on the five micron filter regulator whenever moisture
or oil is present.
• Replace lubricant filter (#7017347) every 6 months or 1000 hours of operation.
• Dispose of used oil filters in accordance with local environmental regulations.
