MAINTENANCE - AUTO RETURN ADJUSTMENT

1)

The press features an automatic - one shot return system.

2)

The automatic return valve is a time delay system mounted on the side of the
operator valve assembly.

3)

The return valve is adjusted by turning a screw mounted on the top of the valve.
Turning the screw clockwise (in) will increase the return delay (slow the press down).

4)

Adjust the valve so that the upper tooling returns after approximately one second if
the foot pedal is kept pressed.

5)

If the return valve is set too fast the WAMP air power unit may not reach full
operating pressure and the joint quality will be reduced - especially if the air
pressure is low.

6)

Turning the adjuster screw all the way in will turn off the automatic return.
In this mode the press will only return when the foot pedal is released.
This is especially useful in trouble shooting joint problems.
