3. Remove the lower roll pin from the wire funnel mount, BEING CAREFUL not to lose plunger and
spring under the wire funnel.
4. Remove upper roll pin from the wire funnel being removed and install it in the replacement wire
funnel.
5. Install new wire funnel on mount and install lower roll pin. Make sure spring and plunger are in place.
6. Make sure the opening of the wire funnel is aligned with the opening in the wire barrel of the terminal
or butt splice, as shown. If not, loosen the mounting screw by turning screw CLOCKWISE (left–hand
thread), then align the opening of funnel with the wire barrel. Tighten mounting screw by turning screw
COUNTERCLOCKWISE while holding wire funnel.
7. Replace the front guard before operating the machine. If wire funnel 68306–1 is replacing 68299–1,
use the three screws and spacers packaged with the wire funnel to install the front guard as shown.
8.3. Machine Conversion
It is necessary to convert the machine to run closed–end splices and spare wire caps because they are
crimped through the tape. The pull–back feature of the indexing mechanism must be de–activated. The dies for
the closed end splice are accompanied by a lower tooling holder, an extractor, and two sizes of stops. Dies for
the spare wire cap are accompanied by a lower tooling holder and one wire stop. See Figure 24.
Retain all parts removed for future use in converting the machine back to the original configuration.
To avoid personal injury, turn off" the machine and disconnect the machine from the power supplies.
1. Raise the tape release lever.
2. Remove front and side guards from the machine.
3. Remove the tie rod. Refer to Figure 25,A.
a. Disconnect the front tie–rod end bearing.
b. Open the flywheel cover and disconnect the rear tie–rod end bearing.
c. Remove the tie rod.
4. Remove the screw and metal guard from the front of the indexing mechanism. Refer to Figure 25,B.
