SEALER ASSEMBLY
SEAL WIRE TENSION SPRINGS (con’t)
3. Manually open the pressure jaw to its
completely open position. Insert the seal wire
changing tools (shipped with the accessories
for your Sharp SX
TM
in the accompanying box)
into the stripper plate as shown in Figure 3-
336.
4. Remove the two mounting screws for the seal
wire. Once the seal wire is free of the
machine, remove the seal wire changing tools
(Figure 3-337).
5. Locate the eight heater block mounting screws
and remove. Once the screws are out, the
heater block will fall down until the wires
attached to it are tight. Catch the heater block,
and slowly move down until the wires are
holding it (Figure 3-338).
6. With the heater block hanging loose from the
horizontal plate, rotate one end of the jaw end
block outwards, exposing the tension plunger.
Remove the plunger and plunger spring, and
replace. Repeat on the other jaw end block
(Figure 3-339).
