NOTE: If only the ejector needs to be
replaced, it can be removed without
removing the ejector lever by following the
above three steps.
To reassemble the ejector lever:
1. Insert the ejector (52) into the cutter
block (67) slot. Hold the gripper lever
(60) down and slide the ejector lever (50)
into position.
2. Start the ejector pin (64) through the
right side of the ejector lever and the
magazine.
3. Insert the ejector lever spring (55).
4. Insert a punch from the tension handle
side to hold the spring in alignment.
5. Tap the ejector pin (64) in from the sealer
handle side, removing the aligning
punch at the same time.
6. Push on the lower part of the ejector
lever (50) to align the holes on the left
side of the magazine. Finish tapping in
the ejector arm pin (64).
7. Replace the Truarc (49).
8. Insert seals in the magazine.
Operate the sealer mechanism through 3 or
4 cycles to determine that the seals feed
properly.
Next, apply a strap under tension to be sure
that all elements of the tool operate
properly.
FEEDWHEEL (43)
To change a dirty or worn feedwheel,
remove the left-hand threaded nut (47) from
the feedwheel shaft (32) and the lock nut (45)
from the support shaft (22). With the gear
housing (31) in the up position, remove the
right-hand washer (25), the side plate (44)
and the feedwheel (43). Replace the
feedwheel and reassemble the parts in
reverse order.
NOTE: Inspect side bushing (46) for wear or
damage while replacing the feedwheel.
Replace the side bushing if necessary.
ROCKING GRIPPER (48)
Turn the tool on its side. The gear housing
should be in the up position. With a pair of
Truarc pliers, remove the Truarc (49) from
the rocking gripper stem (48).
Push the rocking gripper up and out. Insert
a new rocking gripper and reinstall the
Truarc.
CUTTER ADJUSTMENT
If the cutter on the tool does not cut
properly, loosen the shoulder bolt (6) and
cap screw (8), and adjust set screw (9) to
remove clearance between the cutter blade
and the cutter block. Adjust with the jaws in
the down position. Do not over tighten as
the sealing mechanism can be bound by this
adjustment. When adjustment has been
made, retighten the shoulder bolt and cap
screw.
MAINTENANCE
Clean and apply proper lubrication to all
moving parts on a weekly basis. Clean the
feedwheel daily with a wire brush (Signode
Part No. 023963). Debris accumulated in the
teeth of either the feedwheel or the clutch
plug must be removed with a small wire
brush. A need to clean the teeth will become
apparent when either the feedwheel skids on
the strap or the lower strap slips on the
clutch plug during tensioning.
