Jaw Removal
It is safer, easier and quicker to change the jaw sets with two people; one person to remove the
attaching pins and the other to operate the machine.
Position the Versi Pro with the lower side of the stick toward
the ground. Set the tool firmly onto flat, level ground.
Fully close the attachment jaw. Remove the pin head retain-
ing bolts from both the front cylinder pin and the jaw con-
nection pin. (Fig. 1)
Remove the front cylinder pin. Slowly retract the cylinder
rod (jaw open function). If the upper jaw moves, stop and
pry the cylinder clevis away from the upper jaw.
Remove the jaw connection pin. This can also be done by raising the attachment and carefully
rotating the stick so the jaw connection pin head is facing downward, then tapping the pin out.
With the pins removed and the attachment stick returned to a position with the lower side of the
stick facing the ground, raise the stick up and tilt the jaw toward the ground until the lower jaw
attachment pins clear the stick body attachment hooks. The stick will be tilted about 30° or more
when the jaws disconnect from the stick. (Fig. 2)
Jaw Installation
The jaw set to be installed should be placed on firm level
ground with the cylinder connection facing upward.
Tilt the shear stick into a 30° position to connect the stick body
attachment hooks onto the lower jaw attachment pins. Once
they are connected, tilt the shear stick back into a horizontal
position making sure the attaching pins are firmly inside the at
-
taching hooks. (Fig. 2)
Install the jaw connection pin and its retaining bolt. If the jaw
had been rotated to install the pin from the top, rotate it back so
the lower side of the stick is again facing the ground. (Fig. 1)
Extend the cylinder rod (jaw close function) until the cylinder
connection aligns itself to the jaw connection. Install the front
cylinder pin and its retaining bolt. Slowly open and close the
jaw, checking for any interference.

WARNING
Close the jaws before rotating the Versi Pro back to the vertical
position. Failure to do so will allow the jaw to slam shut which may
cause serious injury or damage to the machine.
