Adjust the Power Drawbar
If you have not yet done so, you must adjust the Power
Drawbar. Complete the following steps in the order listed:
Adjust the Drawbar Tension 74
About Drawbar Tension 75
Adjust the Initial Setup 75
Adjust the Drawbar Tension
This adjustment sets the highest possible drawbar tension
while still allowing the Power Drawbar cylinder to release the
tool. For information, see"About Drawbar Tension" (on the
next page).
NOTICE! After the initial installation, you must examine
the drawbar tension weekly. During periods of heavy use,
examine the drawbar tension more frequently. If you
don't, there's a risk of tool pull-out.
To adjust the drawbar tension:
1. Put an empty Tormach Tooling System (TTS) tool holder
into the collet.
2. While using one hand to support the tool holder, use the
other to push the Release Tool button.
