Moving the Applicator
The applicator is made to be mounted from its U-arm. The U-arm is a “U” shaped welded steel bar that is
attached to both sides of the applicator. Removing the (2) ¼ SHCS that help lock the applicator in place
and loosening the (2) ½ SHCS will allow the U-arm to swing over top the applicator. Most moving of the
applicator is done by hand but if a crane is used then rotating the U-arm over the applicator and attaching to
it is the preferred method.
Moving by hand will take at least two people. The U-arm should
be rotated down in the position shown to the left. Have a person
on each side of the applicator with the one on the applicator nose
side lifting only off the U-arm. The one on the unwind side
(shown in the picture) will lift with one hand on the U-arm and
one on the unwind shaft. This will provide enough leverage so
the applicator will not tumble out of the hands of the movers.
If more leverage is need or a third person is added they can use
the nip drive assembly, rewind mandrel or the applicator nose
assembly to hold onto. Still most of the lifting should be done
from the U-arm.
Note: Do not lift off the housing roller or the dancer arm on the rewind!
