5.5. Manual Precision Adjustment Lever
The manual precision adjustment lever is used to adjust the crimp height. For adjustment procedures, refer to
Paragraph 7.3, Precision Adjust Crimp Height Adjustment.
5.6. Switching Between End and Side Feed Applicators
When changing from end feed to side feed applicators or side feed to end feed applicators, the reel support
assembly and the dereel assist motor assembly must be relocated to the opposite side of the terminating machine.
1. With the terminal reel removed, flip the horizontal reel support bar to the opposite side of the terminating
machine. Mount the terminal reel on the reel support and load the terminal strip into the applicator.
2. Unplug the power connector for the dereel assist motor. Lift the dereel motor assembly up and toward
the rear of the terminating machine to remove the motor assembly. Slide the motor assembly onto the
mounting bolts on the opposite side of the terminating machine. Insert the power cable into the socket
located directly above the motor assembly.
6. PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
Preventive maintenance will keep the terminating machine in good working condition and ensure maximum
reliability and service from all of its components.
DANGER
STOP
Before performing maintenance on the terminating machine, ALWAYS disconnect the power supply to the machine. Turn
OFF power to the terminating machine with the main power switch/circuit breaker. If applicator is an air-feed type,
DISCONNECT air lines to valve located on the right side of the terminating machine.
6.1. Cleaning
Clean any debris from the applicator area.
DANGER
STOP
Compressed air used for cleaning must be reduced to less than 207 kPa [30 psi], and effective chip guarding and
personal protective equipment (including eye protection) must be used.
If an air-feed applicator is installed, check and replace the air filter element if necessary.
Remove dust that may have accumulated on the screen covering the motor cooling fan. Periodically remove the
screen and clean thoroughly.
!
CAUTION
DO NOT blow air into the screen while the screen is mounted to the terminating machine.
6.2. Lubrication
The moving parts of the machine require regular lubrication to ensure reliable service and long life. Use only
Chevron Ultra Duty EP NLGI No. 2 grease, Pennzoil Pennlith Ultra EP NLGI No. 2 grease, or Conoco Syncon
EP NLGI No. 2 Heavy Duty grease.
Chevron, Pennzoil, Conoco, and Syncon are trademarks of their respective owners.
NOTE
i
If the terminating machine shows difficulty operating in low temperatures, use EP NLGI No. 1 grease for lubrication.
Using a grease gun, apply grease every 250,000 cycles to these lubrication points:
— the left side of the ram assembly;
— the right side of the ram assembly;
— the left side of the frame just behind the ram assembly;
— the pivot pin on the manual precision adjustment lever.
