Foot Switch; Installation - TE Connectivity Basic AMP-O-LECTRIC K 1-471273-3 Customer's Manual

D. Foot Switch
When the operator is correctly positioned in front of the machine, the foot should rest on the switch
comfortably and easily. The switch should be placed on a rubber mat: this allows it to be movable and permits
the operator to shift positions to reduce fatigue, while at the same time the mat prevents the switch from
sliding unintentionally.
The preference for locating the switch varies among operators. Some like the switch located so that their foot
rests on the switch when their leg is in the natural sitting position (calf perpendicular to the floor). Others
prefer it slightly in front of the natural position. The important thing is that the foot be about 90_ to the calf
when resting on the switch. Those who prefer the switch slightly forward may require a wedge-shaped block
placed under it.

3.3. Installation

The machine is bolted to the shipping pallet. Cut away the remaining carton, remove the bolts securing it to the
pallet, then remove the yellow plug and top access hole cover. Attach the hook of an adequate hoist to the
machine, as shown in Figure 8, to lift it from the pallet and place it in the selected location. The approximate
weight of a complete machine is 123 Kg [272 lb.].
Place the machine on a sturdy bench conforming to the requirements in Paragraph 3.2. The location must have
the necessary electrical supply (with a separate ground) and, for air-equipped machines, the necessary air
supplies. A 1/4-in. NPT male fitting is required to connect the air to the machine.
Do NOT connect the machine to the electrical outlet, or to the air, until specified. The adequacy of both the electrical
CAUTION
power and air supply should be checked at the machine location..
!
Install a 40-watt appliance bulb, of the proper voltage rating, in the work lamp. A bulb of greater wattage will
damage the shade. Position the foot switch on the floor convenient for the operator.
BEFORE connecting the machine to the electric source and air supply, hand-cycle it according to the procedure
in Paragraph 4.1 to ensure proper alignment and adjustment of tooling in the applicator (if installed) to prevent
damage.
