3. FILTER, LUBRICATOR, REGULATOR (FRL) & GAUGE (136A-178) -
Located on the left hand side of the press, the FRL&G allows adjustment of
the air pressure to the press, while cleaning, filtering and lubricating the air
components. To adjust air pressure, release the small red plastic lock knob
before adjusting the control knob. Turning the adjustment knob inward will
increase air pressure up to line pressure. Turning the adjustment knob
outward will decrease pressure to the press. When reducing pressure it will
be necessary to cycle the press in order to get an accurate gauge reading.
Tighten the locking knob after adjustment. The drain cock of the filter should
be regularly checked for water.
CAUTION: NEVER REMOVE SEDIMENT
OR LUBRICATE BOWL BEFORE DEPRESSURIZING THE SYSTEM.
The
lubricator bowl should be kept supplied with non-synthetic, light oil. Oil flow
can be adjusted by means of the oil flow adjustment screw on the air
lubricator. A clean air supply is absolutely essential for long life of the air
components.
4. TABLE ELEVATION NUT (136A-98) - This nut on the large threaded rod
beneath the table, adjusts the vertical position of the table. Counter-clockwise
rotation lowers the table and clockwise rotation raises the table.
5. TABLE INSERT CLAMP (136A-17) - This clamp, located on the left hand side
of the table, secures the table insert. After loosening the brass screw, the
insert can be moved fore and aft. Engraved markings on the left hand edge of
the insert are provided for reference purposes. Each increment measures
1/16”. An arrow index is stamped on the left hand guide rail.
6. TABLE LOCKING ASSEMBLY (136A-24) - The table locking assembly
located beneath the table in the front center, secures the table. After
loosening the wing nut, the table may be moved left or right. Tighten the wing
nut after adjustment.
7. MARKING DEVICE CLAMPING SCREW (136A-92) - This brass screw
located on the right hand side of the dovetail ram (136A-90), secures the
marking device. The dovetail and clamping screw only serve to hold the
marking device in position. The press force bears on the ram head bottom.
8. DOVETAIL RAM GIB (136A-94) - This gib located between the dovetail ram
(136A-90) and the frame casting (136A-142) eliminates play in the ram head.
If the ram head develops left and right play, it will be necessary to tighten the
gib. While holding the two allen head setscrews (136A-96) stationary, loosen
the locking nut on each. Evenly tighten the two set crews until left and right
play is eliminated. Do not over-tighten. While holding the two allen head set
screws stationary, retighten the locking nuts. This adjustment may be
required after initial break-in.
