PARTS REPLACEMENT

MAGAZINE AND SEALER MECHANISM
To disassemble the tool, refer to Figures 8,
9, and 10, and proceed as follows:
1. Remove the seals from the magazine (65)
and the sealer jaws.
2. Release the gripper lever (60) by
pressing down on the gripper trigger
(56).
3. Loosen the cutter adjustment set screw
(9).
4. Remove the two magazine screws (6 and
8) on the left side of the sealer frame.
5. Remove the two socket head cap screws
(37) from the bottom of the tensioner
frame (39).
6. Pivot the rear of the tensioner frame
away from the sealer frame and tilt the
top of the magazine away from the sealer
mechanism and lift the magazine
assembly out.
7. Remove the sealer mechanism from the
sealer frame.
The magazine and the sealer mechanisms
are now accessible for examination and
replacement of worn or broken parts. The
sealer mechanism is serviced by removing
the cutter blade (75). Clean all parts.
Replace jaws and notchers (76, 77 and 78) as
required. Note that the outer jaws can be
reversed front to back to provide new
cutting edges, thus doubling the life of the
parts. After the necessary repairs have been
made, grease the parts.
To reassemble:
1. Place the sealer handle in a horizontal
position and insert the sealer
mechanism. The hook on the sealer cam
(89) must be placed over the cam roller
(3) in the sealer frame.
2. With the sealer mechanism in place,
push down lightly on the sealer handle
to keep the sealer mechanism in place
and insert the magazine assembly by
placing the lower portion of the
magazine between the sealer mechanism
and the sealer frame. Tip the top
forward to bring it into proper alignment.
3. Be sure the strap guide spring (36) is in
its proper position in the tensioner
frame. Swing the tensioner frame up
against the sealer frame and insert and
tighten the two socket head cap screws
(37) through the tensioner frame.
4. Insert the magazine screws (6 and 8)
through the sealer frame and into the
magazine. Snug - do not tighten at this
time.
5. Move the sealer handle to the vertical
position to bring the sealer mechanism
to the full down position. Adjust the
cutter adjustment screw (9) and tighten
both magazine screws (6 and 8).
6. Insert a stack of seals into the magazine.
Operate the sealer mechanism through 3
or 4 cycles to check tightness of the
cutter adjustment screw and see that the
seals feed properly. If the sealer
mechanism is excessively tight, back off
the cutter adjustment set screw slightly.
Next, apply a strap under tension to be
sure that all elements of the tool operate
properly.
EJECTOR AND EJECTOR LEVER
ASSEMBLY
1. Remove the seals from the magazine
(65).
2. Remove the Truarc (49) from the left side
of the ejector pin (64).
3. Drive out the ejector pin from the tension
handle side.
4. Remove the ejector lever spring (55).
5. Hold the gripper lever (60) down and pull
out the ejector lever (50).
To disassemble the ejector:
1. Remove the Truarc (53) from the ejector
pin (54).
2. Remove the pin (54), ejector (52), and
spring (51). Replace the ejector lever
and/or the ejector as necessary.
