CLAMPING
FORCE
The clamping force needs adjusting if cans are being crushed or thrown
from the shake frame. Adjustments may also be required after changing the
control board or other components in the shake mechanism. The clamping
force is specified in the instructions (P/N 24040) that come with the
replacement board. The adjustment kit (P/N 24041) also comes with the
same instructions.
Read all of the following instructions. If you have any doubt about
performing these procedures, please contact Customer Service at Fluid
Management.
Refer to the Parts Section for component identification and location.
Clamping Force Adjustment
The optimum clamping force is specified in the instructions (P/N 24040)
shipped with the board. This process should be used to adjust the clamping
force to a range within that target. The range is expressed in terms of an
"upper limit" and a "lower" limit. Both the positioning spacer (P/N 24069)
and the gauge (P/N 24124) are required in executing this process.
1. Unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet.
2. Remove the two (2) screws at the top of the control box and open, expos-
ing the control circuit board.
