5.4. Stock Drag Adjustment
The stock drag must be adjusted to apply only enough pressure to the terminal strip so that it will stop at the
end of the feed finger stroke.
1. Turn the stock drag adjustment nuts (shown in Figure 6) down to increase the drag and up to
decrease the drag.
2. Cycle the machine under power to ensure that the stock drag is properly adjusted.
5.5. Strip Guide Adjustment
DANGER
To avoid personal injury, make sure that the power to the machine is turned off and the power cord is disconnected before
taking the applicator out of the machine. The machine ram should be in the raised position.
1. Remove the applicator from the machine as described in Section 3, APPLICATOR INSTALLATION
AND REMOVAL.
2. Remove the ram assembly from the applicator.
3. Remove the two nuts holding the springs in place on the terminal drag plate. Refer to Figure 10.
4. Remove the drag plate and springs.
5. Loosen (but do not remove) the six screws securing the lower strip guide.
6. With a terminal strip in place, adjust the guides to align and center the strip over the anvil.
7. Securely tighten the four rear-most screws. The strip should slide easily between the guides with a
minimum of clearance.
8. If present, adjust the strip hold-down plate (shown in Figure 10) so that it is square with the terminal
strip and positioned so that it will not interfere with the slug blade tooling on the ram (shown in Figure
4).
9. Tighten the remaining screws on the strip guide.
