Adjust the Power Drawbar
If you have not yet done so, you must adjust the Power Drawbar.
Complete the following steps in the order listed:
Adjust the Drawbar Tension
This adjustment sets the highest possible drawbar tension while
still allowing the Power Drawbar cylinder to release the tool. For
information, see "About Drawbar Tension" (on the next page).
NOTICE!
After the initial installation, you must examine the
drawbar tension weekly. During periods of heavy use, examine
the drawbar tension more frequently. If you don't, there's a
risk of tool pull-out.
To adjust the drawbar tension:
1. Put an empty Tormach Tooling System (TTS) tool holder into
the collet.
2. While using one hand to support the tool holder, use the other
to push the Release Tool button.
