Place the reel of terminals onto the reel support.
7
Install the second reel disc (order number 63801-7262) onto the reel support.

Slide the second reel boss onto the reel support with slight pressure against the back disc pushing on the spring,
and securely tighten the wing screw. See Figure 2-3.
Note:
The reel bosses can be adjusted as needed to align the terminal strip to the applicator track.

Pneumatic Supply Connection (See Figures 3-2 and 3-3)
A compressed air supply is required if air feed applicators will be used. The press is equipped with a compressed air filter,
regulator, lubricator and a solenoid valve to actuate the air feed at the proper time in the press cycle.
Due to the many types of air connection and quick connect air fittings available, the press is supplied with a 1/4 NPT female
threaded fitting. Customers may attach their preferred air connections that are commonly used in their plants to this fitting.
The minimum supply line inside diameter should be 8mm (5/16”) to assure adequate compressed air flow.
A filter-regulator-lubricator unit is furnished to properly condition the supply air. The filter will remove particulates and
moisture from the air that can damage or reduce the life of air cylinders and valves. This filter and bowl should be serviced
on a regular schedule (See Section 4.1). The filter has an automatic drain at the bottom of the bowl that will automatically
open and expel fluid when the bowl becomes full. It is recommended that a 6mm (1/4”) flexible tube be attached to the drain
hose barb and run to a container to drain excessive moisture.
The regulator provides consistent air pressure to the air feed applicator. A typical air feed applicator requires 400-500kPa
(60-80 psi) (refer to applicator instructions for recommended pressures.) Adjustment is accomplished by pulling up on the
knob, rotating it (clockwise to increase and counterclockwise to decrease pressure) until the gauge indicates the desired
pressure and then pushing it down to lock the setting.
A lubricator is supplied for air feed applicators that need lubrication. Molex air feed applicators do not require lubrication.
The lubricator is shipped without lubricant in it. Fill the lubricator (make sure the main air supply is disconnected or the slide
valve is in the off position before adding lubricant) through the fill plug on the top of the unit with SAE 10W air tool oil, such
as Ingersoll-Rand 10Z4 (
). The lubricator has a graduated dial on top. Turn the dial to the “1” or “2” setting.
Caution:
Do not over lubricate. Only a very small amount of lubricant is required to assure smooth operation.
Excess lubricant is exhausted to the atmosphere.
If lubrication is not required, set the dial to “0” to turn off the lubricator.
