ELECTRIC FOOT SWITCH
On a regular basis, inspect the electric foot switch
assembly for wear or damage. Inspect the entire length
of the connecting cord for wear or deterioration.
DO NOT OPERATE
the foot switch if any of the above is
observed.
MANUAL ELECTRIC
STARTER
The electric starter box on your bender uses movable
contacts activated by a push button mechanism. This
style of electric starter is equipped with “Heaters” to
prevent damage to the starter switch or motor in the
event of an over-current situation. Single phase
machines use one (1) #B-36 heater while three phase
machines use three (3) #B-25 heaters. Continued
over-current through the thermal unit will raise its
temperature and melt the alloy allowing the ratchet
wheel to rotate. This releases the pawl assembly,
allowing the toggle spring to retract the contacts.
Before resetting the relay, allow one to two minutes for
the alloy to solidify.
DO NOT
disassemble the overload
relay block because motor protection could be
disabled and cause possible damage to motor and/or
other components. Thermal units must be installed
and the device reset before the starter contacts will
operate. Install thermal units so that the type face can
be read and the pawl is positioned just above the
ratchet wheel.
LOCK OFF MECHANISM -
The starter can be locked
only in the OFF position by lifting the metal tab labeled
“LOCK” on the contact actuator and placing a padlock
through the center of the hole in the tab.
HYDRAULIC CYLINDERS
As with all hydraulic cylinders, age and wear will reduce
the effectiveness of the cylinder seals. Proper maintenance
and care will result in a prolonged service life.
RECOMMENDED
MAINTENANCE
t
Use a small file to remove any small nicks or scratches
on the chrome cylinder rods.
t
ALWAYS keep the chrome cylinder rods clean.
t
ALWAYS remove expander tooling from the swager
area on 1302 models before using the internal
expander to prevent damaging the cylinder rod.
t
NEVER “bang” the adapter collars on the cylinder
shaft to release them from the tubing.
t
Be sure to change the hydraulic fluid after every1500
hours of operation or yearly, whichever comes first.
t
Keep the ST-1 and Arbor tight at all times.
NOTE:
Under normal operating conditions all of the
cylinders will seep oil around the area of the
wiper seal. This is a normal condition.
