EASY SETUP PROCEDURE

MOUNTING OF UNIT
Mount the assembly and couple the input shaft to
the driving member, with the shaft keyway up and in
line with the positioning arrow on the bearing end
plate. The machine should be in the start cycle
position.
ESTABLISHING CAM SHAFT
DIRECTION OF ROTATION
Cam settings should be made with the cam shaft
uppermost to the viewer. The picture at the top
illustrates this viewing position and also shows the
adjusting tool being applied to the adjusting wheel.
Shaft rotation is always established off the right
end of the unit even when the input shaft, whether
direct or through a gear reducer, is situated at the
left end. As an aid to designating shaft rotation
when gear reducer is used, consult page 10 of the
1980 Catalog Section.
CAM SETTINGS
For clockwise rotation, set "make" angle with the
black dial and "break" with the red dial for dwell
settings less than 180° or greater. Reverse colors
for dwells greater than 180°.
For counterclockwise rotation, set "make" angle
with the white dial and "break" with the yellow
dial. Reverse colors for dwells greater than 180°.
Switch connections should be made in accordance
2LLMM
with the illustrations to the right, which, incidentally,
are both clockwise rotating examples.
