Coltri MCH 6 Owners, get in here, this thread is for you!!

I'm having trouble with mine. It won't run unless I hold the power button.

Try pushing harder on the green start button to see if it latches. I’ve got a milling machine with a balky switch, but if I push hard, it latches.

is it suppose to latch? mine springs right back.

Not a positive latch on the Coltri switch. The red button should pop out some when you press the green button. It’s kinda like a rocker switch. Unplug it and push red and green alternately and you’ll be able to feel the red push out when you push the green.

no good luck today , spent all day hanging at the shop for delivery (i have to unload with my skidsteer) my Coltri was handed off to a secondary shipper, supposed to be tommorow, we will see..

 

[RAMJET66]

i received my coltri yesterday (tues) but was too busy doing my regular job to even check it out other than opening the top of box, looks like it made it here ok even with one of the feet broken off of the particle board pallet .. it came one day late, Btw it is not the Icon..

question , without reading thru this long thread , can anyone tell me if i can use a 15 foot long 10 gauge 3 wire cable to hook my Coltri to a 30 amp double breaker ( 220) the guy at home depot said is okay , just want to double check .. TIA

 

[RAMJET66]

did some reading & another member stated that 10 gauge is all i need..

Purchasing a gas powered mch6. Does anyone know what adapters I’ll need to fill DIN?

I believe it comes with a cga347 adapter but no DIN correct ?

 

[trlrman]

Just tell them you want the Din. I got the gas with Din 300 fitting .

Picking up one already configured for cga347

Yeah just tell Mitch what you need and he will get it set up for ya. And if you’re going to fill to 4500 psi, be sure and let him know so your machine will ship with the correct safety valve. You’re gonna love that Honda motor.

If this helps, I use #12 extension cord, 25’ for my Alkin. With this gage wire and for what the Alkin draws, I’m allowed up to 75’(going off of memory) which includes the factory cord on the Alkin.

So yes, your plenty ok

Got mine today, and it’s an Icon to boot! Just finished topping off my first cylinder of air and it feels great to be free of the ever-present need for refills!

 

[Westypete]

Congratulations Big Vitamin! Hope to get mine in a couple weeks.

Here’s mine - anyone on the Bay Area need air ? This thing is a beast

I released the moths out of my wallet yesterday on the 230v model. Now I have a couple weeks to get the wiring sorted out in the basement. My shop already has the 230v wiring in place but no heat thru the winter and I don't want the compressor sitting sub zero temps for a few months.

They must be getting several orders from this thread because they are getting backed up or they’re a small one man shop? I ordered one today and it won’t be delivered until mid April.
