Unpacking and cleanup
1. Remove all contents from shipping crate and
compare to the contents list in this manual. If
shipping damage or any part shortages are
identified, contact your distributor. Do not
discard packing material until brake is
assembled and operating satisfactorily.
2. Carefully clean all rust protected surfaces with
a mild solvent or kerosene and a soft rag. Do
not use lacquer thinner, paint thinner, or
gasoline – these will damage painted surfaces.
3. Coat all machined surfaces with a light coat of
oil to inhibit rust.
5.4
Assembly
Refer to exploded view if additional clarification is
needed for assembly.
1. Remove bolts holding leg stands and brake to
pallet.
2. Locate brake in a dry, well-lighted area with a
sturdy, level floor. Machine location must allow
room for loading and offloading stock, and
access on all sides for maintenance.
3. Use hoist or forklift to carefully lift brake onto leg
stands. Secure with M12 bolts, washers and
nuts (HP1/HP4/HP5/HP6).
Do not allow anyone
beneath the brake while moving it into
position and until it is secured on leg
stands.
4. Verify that brake is level; use shims if
necessary. Secure leg stands to floor with
appropriate fasteners, such as lag bolts (not
provided).
5. The clamp handles are shipped in lowered
position due to size constraints (thus, the
fingers will contact platform before handles
reach proper forward position). The handles
must be repositioned before operating, as
follows:
6. Remove screw, spring cover and spring (J,
Figure 3). Slide handle outward just enough to
clear stop pin, and rotate handle to a higher
position, as shown. Reinstall spring, spring
cover and screw, and tighten screw until there
is no “play” in the handle.
