5. OPERATION
WARNING
Disconnect the press from the power supply
before operating by hand. Operations by hand
whilst guards are removed must only be
performed by authorized competent persons.
5.1 Manual Operation
CAUTION
When using an applicator for the first time after fitting it in
the press, or whenever a die-part is replaced or the
applicator is adjusted, ensure that the press is manually
cycled at least one revolution. This is a very important
operation to ensure that the terminals are crimped
correctly and it also allows a degree of ‘feel’ through the
crank handle which prevents major tooling damage from
occurring if the die-parts have been installed incorrectly.
Step 1
Remove the cap head socket screws from the ram cover
using the hexagon key supplied with the tool-kit, and
open the belt cover.
Step 2
Manually operate the solenoid by pushing the clutch
lever in a downward direction until the clutch ‘clicks’.
Step 3
Place the hand-crank supplied in the press tool-kit on the
end of the main shaft and rotate in a counter-clockwise
direction to manually cycle the press through one
revolution. The ram moves up and down one stroke and
crimps the terminal.
Step 4
Remove the hand-crank, close the belt cover and
replace the cap head socket screw in the catch and
tighten with the hexagon key.
CAUTION
Ensure that hand-crank is rotated through one complete revolution (until it physically stops).
If the press is left part-way through a cycle it will try to complete the cycle when the motor is turned on
and this action could result in damage being caused to the tooling.
