8. SETUP AND OPERATING PROCEDURES
8.1. RECEIPT/UNPACKING
Check the contents of your shipment against the shipping package list. Check for any missing or damaged
components. Contact your sales agent if any problems exist.
8.2. INITIAL INSPECTION
*** INSPECT THE MACHINE BEFORE OPERATING ***
During transport, parts of any machine may vibrate loose and/or foreign objects may accidentally be
directed into the machinery.
It is operator's duty to remove the safety covers and carefully examine the entire machine before operation.
Ensure that:
1) No foreign objects are present which could cause damage to machine parts
2) All fasteners are tight and in proper position
3) Gears, slide shafts, and other moving parts are lubricated, properly adjusted and ready for operation
*** REPLACE THE SAFETY COVERS PRIOR TO OPERATION ***
After adjustment or repair, be sure all tools are removed from the machine prior to operation.
8.3. INSTALLING THE CRIMPING HANDLE
In order to save space, the EL-2002 is shipped with the crimping handle removed. The operator will need
to reinstall the handle using two ¾ in combination or open end wrenches. Removed the ½ inch bolt and nut
from the shaft and slide the handle over the shaft. Line up the shaft holes and the bolt holes in the handle to
the desired orientation and place the bolt through the handle and shaft. Apply the nut and tighten so the
handle cinches down around the shaft.
8.4. INSTALLING THE ADVANCE HANDLE
To save space, the EL-2002 is shipped with the advance handle removed also. The operator will need to
reinstall the handle using a 9/16-in combination or open end wrench. Remove the hex head cap screw and
both washers from the advance shaft and make sure the 1/8-in spacer remains on the shaft. The handle and
ring stop should be pointed towards the operator and slid onto the advance shaft. Apply the hex head screw
with washers and tighten. Make sure the handle operates appropriately. Refer to Figure 7-2 for proper
handle orientation.
8.5. MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
