4.2.7 CUSHION OPERATION & ADJUSTMENTS
4.2.7.1 Cushion Shock Absorber Adjustment
Note: This adjustment can be made either with the shock absorber mounted in the machine
or held in a vise.
If the shock absorber is held in a vise,
clamp the shock on its end only. DO
NOT PLACE THE PISTON SECTION IN A
VISE.
1. Loosen the collar’s lock screw.
2. Insert a 1/2-inch open-end wrench between the coils of
the spring at the point where the piston rod exits the
piston housing so that the open end of the wrench
straddles the piston rod.
3. Hold the wrench against the piston housing while turning
the spring. When the length of the spring is 6¼ inches,
slide the collar against the spring, tighten the collar’s lock
screw, and remove the wrench.
4.2.7.2 Cushion Removal
1. Unlatch the pin curtain.
2. Remove one X-washer from the shock absorber mounting
pin and remove the pin to release the shock absorber
from the cushion assembly.
3. Remove the three screws that mount the support box to
the kickback plate (See Figure 4.2-35) on the shock
absorber end of the cushion only!
4. Slide the free end of the cushion forward until the other
end comes free from its mount block. Remove the
cushion assembly from the machine.
5. To replace, reverse the above procedure.
