4.5 MACHINE START-UP
BEFORE STARTING THIS MACHINE, TAKE TIME TO THOROUGHLY REVIEW THE VHS
SAFETY TAPE OR SAFETY CD AND THE OPERATOR’S MANUAL.
This machine is equipped with a lock-out, disconnect switch as standard equipment. We strongly urge
you to follow the OSHA directive CFR-1910.147 (effective 09-01-90) regarding lock-out, tag-out proce-
dures. BEFORE POWERING THE MACHINE, be sure that all packing materials and tools have been
removedfrom the machine and that all work stations are clear.
TO POWER THE MACHINE:
1. Place the disconnect switch (A) in the ON position and the selector switch (B) in the START position.
2. Power the machine by pushing the green START button.
Once the machine has been powered, it will not move until either RUN or AUTO is selected. If the ma-
chine does not move when the foot pedal is depressed, the motor rotation is not correct. The electrician
will have to switch two of the line wires to change the direction of rotation.
Any time that the power to the machine has been turned off, the selector switch must be placed in the
START position to restart the machine.
4.6 MACHINE STROKE INSPECTION & ADJUSTMENT
The stroke setting is important for the proper operation of the machine. If this setting has changed, the
machine may over-travel and cause the cylinder to "bottom out". This continued condition will eventu-
ally cause the starter overload to open. It can also cause the hydraulic oil to overheat and damage hy-
draulic system components.
A check of the machine’s stroke setting is made at the pivot end of the plate shear.
SEE FIGURE 5 ON THE FOLLOWING PAGE.
1. Set the stroke control handles (C) out to their farthest position.
2. Place the disconnect switch (A) in the ON position and the selector switch (B) in the START position.
3. Turn the run-auto switch (B) to the RUN position and allow the machine to return.
6. Turn the machine’s power off.
7. Check to see if the metering boss has contacted the left limit switch.
8. If it has not, loosen the four mounting plate screws (G) and move the mounting plate to the right until
contact is made.
9. Tighten the screws and re-check the dimensions. Repeat, if needed.
