5. Operation
•
With the power source in the "OFF" position, connect the hoses. Do not drag the service hoses by pulling
with the tool. Loop the service hose in the work area in such a way to relieve stress on the hose and quick
disconnect fittings while working. Be aware of hose location at all times.
•
When the weld is ready to be cut, position two people, one on each side of the shear. They should carefully
place the shear over the weld and lock it into place with the hold down legs.
•
Turn the power source "ON" to supply 5 GPM (19 LPM) or 10 GPM (38 LPM)
•
Push the control valve lever forward to the labeled shear position to make the cut. Operator must hold lever
in the shear position for the entire cycle. If operator lets go of the lever the cylinder will stop due to the spring
center valve design.
•
After shear is complete, pull the control valve lever backwards to the labeled retract postion to retract the
shear blades. Operator must hold lever in the retract position for the entire cycle due to the spring center valve
design.
•
Turn power source "OFF".
•
To remove shear from the rail, loosen hold downs, position two people, one on each side of the shear, and
carefully remove from the rail.
NOTE!
•
Oil temperature can effect stroke time. Make sure oil temperature is at least
80°F / 27°C to achieve proper performance of weld shear cycle time.
NOTE!
•
The weld shear is equipped with a factory set hydraulic flow cartridge to
assure the time to fully stroke the shear blades during an actual shear
operation shall be between 16 and 18 seconds.
NOTE!
•
Place the shear on the rail prior to setting up the weld to adjust the hold
down legs. After hold down legs are adjusted, remove shear from rail to
prepare weld.
