Page 5: Pre-Installation Instructions
PRE-INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Check the box and parts boards to make sure all pieces are present and nothing has been damaged in shipment. - Page 7 DISASSEMBLY Remove the OPS and NOPS side covers. Remove the water form and ductor rollers. Remove water pan and bottle assembly. Re- move the OPS and NOPS water pan mounting blocks (subject arrow NOPS shown). At the NOPS, remove the pan roller drive sleeve (subject arrow) by loosening the set screw securing it to the pan roller.
- Page 9 DISASSEMBLY Remove the pan roller (subject arrow) from the press. At the OPS, remove the drive arm, set collar and torsion spring from the end of the water ductor roller shaft (subject arrow). At the OPS and NOPS loosen the ductor roller mounting brackets (right subject arrow, NOPS shown) and the set collar (left subject arrow).
- Page 11 DISASSEMBLY At the OPS, remove the phillips head screws (lower subject arrows) retaining the oscillator bearing housing. Remove the cap screws securing oscillator anchor block (upper subject arrow) and remove it from the press. Remove the bolt on the end of the oscillator shaft that secures the oscillator drive mechanism to the oscillator.
- Page 13 DISASSEMBLY At the NOPS, remove the button head bolt (subject arrow) securing the oscillator drive gear to the oscillator. Remove the gear and the woodruff key and save for reassembly. Remove the oil filler and set collar (subject arrow) securing the oscillator idler gear on the NOPS.
- Page 15 DISASSEMBLY At the OPS and NOPS, remove the shoulder bolts (subject arrow OPS shown) from water form block and save for reassembly. At the OPS and NOPS, remove the snap rings (subject arrow OPS shown) from the bearing housings. Remove the housings from the press and save for reassembly.

Page 17: Installation
INSTALLATION Replace the bushings in the oscillator housing with the new ones (06-134) provided. ® Install the Crestline Altra Series oscillator roller (07-0434) in the same manner as the original. It is a good idea to leave the protective paper on the roller until the end of this step. Be sure to install the form roller hangers, spacers and snap rings (subject arrow) over the journals as they originally were before installing the bearing housings. - Page 19 INSTALLATION Install the supplied woodruff key (subject arrow) in the slot in the end of the NOPS oscillator journal. Install the oscillator drive gear using the new hardware. At the OPS, first install the supplied new replacement bearing (#06- 133, subject arrow) and then the new worm (#03-714510) on the oscillator roller journal.
- Page 21 INSTALLATION Install the oscillation drive assembly on the oscillator journal. Make sure the bearing, installed in step 4, is seated in the housing before securing the drive assembly to the oscillator using the new hard- ware (subject arrow). Replace the pin in the block with the new one provided. Install the block and arm assembly (subject arrow) by first inserting the arm on the pin in the worm gear.
- Page 23 INSTALLATION Using the supplied mounting spools and hardware, install the OPS and NOPS dampener frames as shown in the diagram. The mounting spools insert through the original pan roller and ductor shaft holes in the press frames. On machines with a 22" cutoff loosely secure the frames to the ductor shaft holes first, and then use the provided spools with the offset hole in the pan roller hole.
- Page 25 INSTALLATION Install the pan roller into the eccentric brackets. The shorter end will go to the OPS and the roller should be centered to the metering roller. Replace the bearing caps. Do not adjust the middle screw in the bearing cap, as this has been factory set for proper cap tension.

Page 27: Final Adjustments
FINAL ADJUSTMENTS OSCILLATOR TO FORM ROLLER PRESSURE Raise the water form control handle to the OFF position. Dab some ink on the water form roller and slowly run the press for 30- 40 seconds to distribute (only if the form and oscillator will ink up at this time). - Page 29 FINAL ADJUSTMENTS INTERMEDIATE TO METERING ROLLER PRESSURE This pressure is adjusted by loosening the lock nut in the center of the cap (#2) and turning the set screw (#1). Turning the screw in will increase the stripe and vice-versa. Jog the press and observe the stripe between these two rollers.

D. Adjust circulator flow to water pans. NOTE: Accel recommends using the proper fountain solution for the plate material being run on the press. A good acid/gum etch should be used with metal plates. -
Page 31: Cleaning And Maintenance
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE WASH UPS 1. Shut off circulator and drain the excess water from the pan. DURING THE DAY 2. Mount cleanup mat to the press or if applicable, a wash-up attachment along with a metal plate to act as a bridge between dampener and inker. - Page 32 Accel offers a product called COMPOUND X which is what we recommend for deglazing our system. Contact your dealer or Accel for more information. Always follow deglaz- ing with straight water and then roller wash. OILING AND Place a small amount of grease on the gears once a month.
