Initial Set up Initial Set up Your new Kval machine arrives at your plant crated, banded, taped, with painted set collars on all shafts, keeping all of the precision moving parts secure during shipping. To protect against damaging the machine with the forklift, move the machine as close as possible to the area where it will be stationed before removing it from the crate Use caution when removing the machine from the crate.
Page 16
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Drill a ½-inch hole, minimum of 6-inch depth. Clean hole. NOTE: Kval recommends drilling completely through the slab. If in the future the machine needs to be moved, remove the Red Head nut and pound the bolt flush with the floor surface.
The main electrical power is connected to the disconnect, located in the large electrical panel. The 700-C requires 110 Volt AC. Typically this voltage is pulled from the previous machine. Refer to the plant lay- out diagram from more information.

Quick Start Firing Staple Guns and Nailer For 700-C machines that have dual switches, simultane- ously hold the switch located next to the Control Panel and Press Fire Guns Note: If a hand is taken of the switch during process, there is a 2 second delay before the process can be resumed.
Turn the CONTROL TRANSFORMER switch to the OFF position. This kills power to the machine. All status lights should be off. Kval also recommends that you turn the disconnect switch on the electrical cabinet to OFF; this helps reduce possible damage resulting from power surges from electrical storms.

There are two sections, one a mirror image of the other. One section is located on the fixed side of the 700-C, the other on the movable side. Each section consists of a set of tandem pneumatic cyl- inders for the main drive, a pneumatic cylinder for wheel assist, a rack and pinion, three levers, three in feed wheels and two out feed wheels.
* The dual activated control valves are latching. A control voltage pulse of approximately 0.5 seconds to input of the control valve will cause the valve to change state and latch in that state until another con- trol voltage pulse is received. 700-C...
The staple guns inserts staples into the desired locations in the door frame. There are four staple guns. Two on the fixed side and two on the movable side of the 700-C labeled Right Hand-Movable Side, Left Hand-Movable Side, Right Hand-Fixed Side, Left Hand-Fixed Side (see illustration above). Each staple gun assembly consists of a staple gun, a control valve, an air cylinder coupled to an air over oil cylinder and a through beam with a trigger bar.
The two control valves are located in the main valve bank. The two oil canisters are located on the lower frame rail, one at each end of the 700-C. The staple gun transport cylinders and oil flow regulators are located under the four staple gun carriages.
