OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: There are three drive adapters that are
included with the machine. If one of these adapters
does not work or the reel has a threaded shaft then
refer to the Reel Drive Adapter information on the
next page.
The following procedures will make setting up the
spin drive unit easier.
1. Move spin drive unit close to the reel. Align
the shaft on the spin drive with the nut on the
reel by completing the necessary adjustments
discussed previously on page 34.
2. Now slide the spin drive unit approximately 7"
[18 cm] from the reel drive coupling point and
securely fasten to the tooling bar tightening the
locking knob. (Knob C and D) See Fig 60.
3. Place the proper 1/2" [12.7 mm] square drive
socket or adapter on the reel drive nut and then
insert the square drive shaft into the socket.
Place the adapter sleeve over the drive shaft
and insert the drive coupler adapter assembly
into it. Finally place the rubber coupler onto the
drive coupler adapter. See FIG. 62.
4. By holding the square drive shaft firmly into
position with your left hand you will be able to
move the other components to the right and
insert the rubber coupler into the flange on the
spin drive unit. When this is done tighten the
T-Knob on the adapter sleeve to hold all parts in
place.
5. Finally readjust the spin drive unit if it is not in
alignment.
6. When installing large reels into the grinder
there may not be room to install the full spin
drive adapter assembly. The Spin Drive Adapter
Assembly has been designed so that you can
remove the Square Drive Adapter and the Drive
Coupler Assembly by loosening the two 1/4-
20 setscrews. This will expose the square end
of Drive Coupler Adapter. This can then be
coupled to the reel. See FIG 63.
NOTE: It is not necessary to have perfect
alignment but it must be close enough so that
the coupler remains engaged and that excess
torque is not applied to the reel.
