Applicator Hold-Down Setup
For proper terminal hold-down setup, refer to Instruction Sheet
6.
REPLACEMENT AND REPAIR
These procedures cover the applicator parts which most often need replacement or repair because of wear.
Proceed with the following:
NOTE
Make sure to order replacements for parts used from the spare parts stock so more will be available when needed.
Preparation
1. Remove the applicator from the machine before performing any maintenance work.
DANGER
Before taking the applicator out of the machine, make sure the machine power is turned OFF and the power cord is
disconnected. The machine ram should be in the raised position.
2. For proper identification of parts, refer to the exploded view drawing and parts list on the applicator
print packaged with the applicator.
3. Wipe the parts with a clean, dry cloth as they are removed from the applicator. When reinstalling into
the applicator, wipe the mating surfaces with your fingers to make sure that all lint and other foreign
matter has been removed.
Anvil Replacement
1. From the bottom of the base plate, remove the screw that holds the Anvil to the base plate.
2. Remove the Anvil from the groove in the top of the base plate.
3. Install the Anvil using the reverse procedure.
Note
: If a new Anvil is needed, verify the part number of
the new Anvil agrees with the number on the applicator parts list.
NOTE
When the Anvil is replaced, the Front Shear and Shear Holder must be re-aligned. See Paragraph 5.7.
4. Re-align the Crimpers as described in Paragraph 6.5., Crimper Replacement.
Floating Shear Replacement
It is not necessary to remove the Shear Holder(s) to replace the Floating Shear(s). Before removing the
Floating Shear(s), note the orientation for re-installation.
Note
: Since the Floating Shears are spring-loaded,
exercise caution during removal.
Turn the Drag Release Lever upward, raise the Feed Pawl, and pull the strip back so that the lead terminal is
between the Strip Guides.
1. Push down on the Floating Shear, then remove the Shear Retaining Screw from the side of the Shear
Holder.
2. Slowly release pressure on the Floating Shear. The compression spring will push it out of the Shear
Holder.
3. After removing the Floating Shear, lift the compression spring out of the Shear Holder.
4. Inspect the spring for damage, and replace it if necessary. Refer to the applicator parts list for the part
number.
5. Re-install the Floating Shear(s) using the reverse procedure.
Note
: If installing a new shear, verify the
part number agrees with the number on the applicator parts list.
6. Raise the Feed Pawl and move the lead terminal over the Anvil. Turn the Drag Release Lever down to
lower the Stock Drag.
7. Check the Shear Holder adjustment as described in Paragraph 5.7, Shear(s) and Shear Holder(s).
