SECTION 3 – COMPONENT REPAIR
PRINTHEAD CRADLE ASSEMBLY
GAS SPRINGS (con’t)
4. Remove the rod end clevis from each end of
the gas spring, and install on the new spring
(Figure 3-268).
5. Install the new gas spring on the machine. Be
sure to replace the four nylon washers between
the clevis and the cradle plate.
6. Repeat the replacement procedure for the left
gas spring. Again, the cradle will be free to
close when the gas spring is removed.
Be
sure to support the cradle and lower it
gently to avoid pinching and crushing of
arms or fingers.
CROSS FLOW FAN
The cross flow fan is mounted in the cradle cover,
and is used for opening bag film before filling.
1. Open the cradle cover, and locate the cross
flow fan. Cut the cable ties holding the
connectors together, and unplug the fan.
Using a Digital Volt/Ohm Meter (DVOM) set to
check for AC Voltage, probe between the two
wires unplugged from the fan. The voltage
should read 110 Volts. If power is being
supplied to the fan and it is not working, the
cross flow fan is faulty and needs replacement.
