10. Verify the alignment of the terminal strip with the anvil. The strip should be centered over the anvil and
in line with the radius nest on top of the anvil.
11. Re-install the drag plate, drag springs, and securing nuts.
12. Adjust the drag.
6. REPLACEMENT AND REPAIR
These procedures cover the applicator parts which most often need replacement or repair because of wear.
Proceed with the following:
NOTE
Make sure to order replacements for parts that were used from the spare parts stock so that they will be available when
needed.
1. Remove the applicator from the machine before performing any maintenance work.
DANGER
Before taking the applicator out of the machine, make sure that the power to machine is turned “off” and the power cord is
disconnected. The machine ram should be in the raised position.
2. Refer to the exploded view drawing on the applicator log and the parts list packaged with the
applicator for identification of parts.
3. Wipe the parts with a clean, dry cloth as they are removed from the applicator. Then, when putting
them back into applicator, wipe the mating surfaces with your fingers to make sure that all lint and
other foreign matter have been removed.
6.1. Anvil Replacement
1. From the bottom of the base plate, remove the screw that holds the anvil to the base plate.
2. Remove the anvil from the groove in the top of the base plate.
3. Install the anvil using the reverse of the installation procedure. If a new anvil is needed, be sure the
part number of the new anvil agrees with the number on the applicator parts list.
6.2. Shear Plate Replacement
1. Lift the stock drag and feed pawl, then pull the section of the terminal strip back so that the lead
terminal is between strip guides.
2. Remove the two screws that fasten the shear plates and spacers (if used) to the strip plates.
3. Remove the parts from the applicator. Note the position of the front and rear shear plates in order to
re-install them correctly.
4. Check the worn shear plate(s) to determine if they can be re-positioned to provide another usable
shearing edge as follows:
— Most rear plates are the same at the front and rear. If so, and if the second side is not worn, turn the plate front to the
rear, making sure that the widest part of the chip clearance groove is at the bottom.
— If the front plate is completely symmetrical, turn it so that any unused edge is at the top rear. If the front plate does not
require spacers and is the same on the top and bottom, turn it top to bottom (if bottom edge is not already worn). Make
sure that the grooves are facing the rear shear plate.
5. With the old plates re-positioned or the new plates properly positioned, re-install the shear plates and
spacers (if used), and fasten them in place with the two screws.
6. Hold the top of the ram assembly with one hand, while moving the feed pawl with the other hand.
Slowly lower the ram assembly to check the alignment of the slug blade with the shear plates.
— If side-to-side alignment is needed, loosen the two screws holding the shear plates, and move the
plates to line them up properly. Re-tighten the screws.
