7 INSTALLATION

The machine is delivered in two separate packages: motor unit package and frame unit package.

The motor unit includes the electric motor directly fastened to the support, a kit of screws for fastening the motor unit to the frame unit and a kit

that contains head holders A and B together with the related rivet holder and a transparent protective shield.

The frame unit includes loose components:

- 1 chain support plane

(photo 1 item 1)

- 1 right column

(photo 1 item 2)

8 HEAD HOLDER AND RIVET HOLDER ASSEMBLY

The machine is supplied with: disassembled head holder, rivet holder and protective shield.

The motor package includes a head and a rivet holder (type

) to be used for chains

(see fig. 1)

and a head and a rivet holder (type

) to be

used for chains

(see fig. 2).

To assemble the three components mentioned above, follow the instructions provided below:

1 - choose the head and rivet holder according to the type of chain to be riveted

2 - manually screw the heads on the shaft, up to the end of its stroke

(photo 15)

3 - take an Allen wrench No. 14 and an Allen wrench No. 23

4 - slightly lower the head with the pedal, grasp the Allen wrench No. 14 with your left hand and lock the head holder shaft

(photo 16)

5 - grasp the Allen wrench No. 23 with your right hand, and tighten the assembly working on the head holder’s hexagon

(photo 17)

6 - choose the rivet holder corresponding to the installed head and fit it into its seat

(photo 18). See the relevant table.

7 - take the transparent protective shield provided and remove the two protective films

(photo 19)

8 - take a cross-tip screwdriver suitable for fastening screws

9 - fasten the protective shield to the support in the three points indicated in

(photo 20)

, using the three self-tapping screws provided.

CAUTION:

the transparent shield is a protective device for both your eyes and your hands. It’s forbidden to work on the machine without a shield,

because an important safety device would not be available. In this case, the Manufacturer cannot be held liable for any accident caused by the

absence of the shield.

NOTE:

the rivet holder positions itself freely in its seat, and can be replaced without removing the protective shield and the head.

Never use the machine with head and rivet holder of different type.

9 PRELIMINARY

ADJUSTMENTS

(WARNING: all adjustments must be made with the power cable unplugged)

1 - adjust the four feet of the structure, so that the machine is stable and does not rock during operation

(photo 21)

2 - after making sure that the electrical system conforms to applicable standards. In particular, it must feature an overload/short circuit cutout, and

the mains voltage must be the voltage indicated on the machine’s data plate, so that the power cable can be plugged in the system socket.

The rod unit, with adjustable forks, has been designed to adjust the distance between pedal and ground level and the distance between head

and rivet holder. The rod unit is supplied with the two forks adjusted in such a way that the distance between head and rivet holder is maximum

and the distance between pedal and ground level is minimum, from 3 to 4 cm (1”1/4 – 1”1/2). Any type of chain can be riveted in this position.

If the distance between head and rivet holder seems excessive (e.g. to rivet very small chains, of the 91VS type), this distance can be adjusted as follows:

3 - from the right side of the machine, use an Allen wrench No. 13 to loosen the nut under the upper fork

(photo 22)

4 - grasp the rod with both hands and turn it

anticlockwise (photo 23)

, so as to reduce the distance between head and rivet holder

5 - once the correct position has been found, tighten the nut against the fork with an Allen wrench No. 13
