    V-25 APC LIFTING AND SHIPPING The shipping weight of the V-25 APC is 10000 lb. The front-to-rear location of the centre of gravity is midway between the chain holes on the lifting angles. Side-to side the centre of gravity is about 7” to the right of the centre line of the saw table.

  • Page 19: Leveling The V-25 Apc

    LEVELING THE V-25 APC It is important that the V-25 APC sit solidly on all four leveling bolts, and that the saw table be level. The V-25 APC is stable in all head positions, and it is not necessary to bolt the saw directly to the floor. The leveling plates provided have a dimple for the leveling bolt to sit in, and two holes for lagging the plate to the floor.

  • Page 44: Out Of Stock Collar

    OUT OF STOCK COLLAR The collar is located on the lower guide shaft of the barfeed’s movable vise, and is locked in position by a brass thumbscrew. The action of the collar is to trip a limit switch and shut down the saw when the vise closes without encountering a work piece.

  • Page 45: Section 3 - Maintenance & Trouble Shooting

    SECTION 3 - MAINTENANCE & TROUBLE SHOOTING SAFETY DURING MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING “Lock-Out”, or “Lock-out Tag-out” are terms that refer to procedures taken to prevent the unexpected start-up, or other release of energy, by a machine, whenever anyone is required to remove or bypass safety devices, or whenever anyone is required to place part of his body in a hazard area.

  • Page 46: Blade Change Procedure

    BLADE CHANGE PROCEDURE Wear safety glasses, gloves, and a long sleeve shirt for protection when handling bandsaw blades during blade change. NOTE THAT GLOVES SHOULD NEVER BE WORN NEAR A RUNNING BANDSAW BLADE. When handling new blades, or ones that will be re-used, it is important to keep the teeth out of contact with concrete floors.
  • Page 47 5. The V-25APC blade is only exposed to the operator at the cutting area. A blade guard protects the operator from the blade between the drive wheel assembly and the actual cutting area. A black knob on the cover allows it to be swung open.

  • Page 48: Blade Installation

    BLADE INSTALLATION NOTES ABOUT NEW BLADES: • It is helpful to have two people to install a new blade. • A new blade will come folded into a compact coil. Follow the blade manufacturer’s instructions for safely unfolding blade. • The blade must be installed with the teeth facing out towards the right hand side of the saw where it passes around the wheels, and with the teeth in the cutting area pointing down towards the idler wheel.

    (1.5” across flats) hex bolt, and locked by a concentric round head socket screw. Hyd-Mech Service should be contacted before making any adjustment to lateral wheel position. The angular position of the blade wheels: Although apparently parallel to each other, the blade wheels are tilted slightly and adjustment of the tilt of each wheel is the primary method of adjusting blade tracking.

  • Page 50: Drive Wheel Adjustment

    DRIVE WHEEL ADJUSTMENT Adjustments should be made with the blade tension released slightly. The drive wheel assembly is mounted on the drive arm weldment which has two set screws and a hex bolt in a “push/pull” arrangement. Gain access to these adjusters by removing the cover plate on the head upper side cover.

  • Page 51: Blade Guides

    BLADE GUIDES The blade is twisted and guided by upper and lower guide block assemblies. These are almost identical except that the upper assembly contains a coolant gallery, and the lower guide is externally tapered on an angle to allow it to sit closer to the underside of the table.

  • Page 53: Lubrication

    LUBRICATION The V-25APC was designed with a goal to minimize the maintenance required so as to reduce downtime. We recommend that periodic lubrication be done once a month using any general purpose grease. The following photos show the location of grease fittings that should be lubricated monthly.

  • Page 54: Output Shaft Lubrication

    Because of the tilted orientation of the gearbox on the V-25APC, the correct oil level is to the bottom of the fill plug “A” shown in the photo. The gearbox can also be filled at the breather shown in the photo.

  • Page 55: Hydraulic Maintenance

    The hydraulic tank capacity is 8 US gallons. NOTE: The V-25APC is shipped from the factory with Texaco Rando HD 46 oil. Generally any brand of recognized min- eral hydraulic oil with the same properties should be compatible with Texaco Rando HD 46 oil, but to avoid any risk we suggest staying with Texaco Rando HD 46.
