5. To remove lower portion of applicator, perform the following:
a. Manually retract stripping mechanism to clear applicator.
b. Remove terminal lubricator.
c. Rotate hold-down, to the left side of the applicator, CLOCKWISE to release applicator.
d. Lift lower portion of applicator to clear alignment pins, then lift feed finger and remove from the left side
of machine.
6. Install applicator in machine in the reverse order of removal.
NOTE
i
After installing lower portion of applicator, momentarily apply air pressure to machine. This will extend stripping
mechanism and fully raise machine ram to provide clearance for installing applicator ram.
7. Before operating machine, check applicator adjustments as described in Section 6.
7.2. Applicator Upper Tooling Replacement
The applicator upper tooling consists of a wire crimper and an insulation crimper attached to the applicator ram.
To replace, perform the following:
1. Remove applicator ram as described in Paragraph 7.1.
2. Remove crimper bolt securing crimpers and related parts to applicator ram. Note orientation of ALL parts
for installation purposes.
3. Install new tooling as required, and re-install applicator ram in the reverse order of removal. DO NOT
tighten crimper bolt at this time.
4. Form a piece of heavy paper over anvil.
5. Close flow control at power valve P2B to stop ram, then open flow control 1/4 turn.
6. Connect air supply and open lockout valve. Manually actuate safety valve, LV5 door switch, while pressing
foot valve to bring machine ram down slowly under power. Release safety valve and make sure insulation
crimper does not strike floating shear.
7. Tighten crimper bolt to secure crimpers in position. Paper over anvil will center crimpers in proper
alignment.
8. Open flow control of valve P2B two turns to return ram for production speed, and proceed as follows:
a. Temporarily engage LV5 switch.
b. Remove paper from over anvil.
9. Load terminal strip and operate machine, as described in Section 4, to check for proper crimping. Make any
adjustments deemed necessary.
7.3. Applicator Lower Tooling (Anvil) Replacement
The applicator lower tooling is the anvil attached to the base plate. To replace, perform the following:
1. Remove applicator from machine as described in Paragraph 7.1.
2. Remove screw from under base plate securing anvil. Note orientation of anvil for installation purposes.
3. Install new anvil, and re-install applicator in machine in the reverse order of removal.
4. Loosen crimper bolt and align crimpers as described in Paragraph 7.2.
5. Check applicator adjustments, as described in Section 6, BEFORE operating machine under power.
7.4. Stripping Blades and Stabilizer Bar Replacement (See Drawing 854100)
