3. RECEIVING INSPECTION AND INSTALLATION
3.1. Receiving Inspection
The machine is thoroughly inspected during and after assembly. Before it is shipped, a final series of tests and
inspections are made to ensure proper functioning. Still, the following inspection should be performed as a
safeguard against problems during shipment.
1. Carefully uncrate the machine and place it on a sturdy bench where their is enough light to permit a
careful examination.
2. Remove the cover, and thoroughly inspect the entire machine for evidence of damage that may have
occurred during transit. If the machine is damaged, file a claim against the carrier and notify TE immediately.
3. Check all components and parts to be certain they are secure.
4. Check wiring for loose connections and for frayed or broken wire and insulation.
5. Check all air lines for evidence of loose connections or damage.

Approximately 1000 leads per hour for 24 AWG jacketed cable
with prepared 25.4 mm [1 in.] breakout.
Approximately 1400 leads per hour for discrete wire.

3.3. Considerations Affecting Machine Placement
Proper location of the machine in relation to the operator is essential to both safety and efficiency. Studies have
repeatedly shown that fatigue will be reduced and efficiency increased if particular attention is paid to the bench,
the operator's chair, and the placement of the foot valve if one is used.
A. Bench
A sturdy bench 711 to 762 mm [28 to 30 in.] high aids comfort by allowing the operator's feet to rest on the
floor and the weight and leg position to be easily shifted. The bench should have rubber mounts to reduce
noise. The open area under the bench should allow the chair to slide far enough in for the operator's back to
be straight and supported by the back rest.
B. Machine Location on Bench
The machine should be located near the front of the bench, and the machine work area (the area where the
product is applied) should be 152 to 203 mm [6 to 8 in.] from the front edge. Access to the back of the
machine must be provided for maintenance purposes in most cases.
C. Operator's Chair
The operator's chair should swivel, and the seat and back rest should be padded and independently
adjustable. The back rest should be large enough to support the back both above and below the waist.
In use, the chair should be far enough under the bench so that the operator's back is straight and supported
by the back rest.
