MAINTENANCE

TOOL
1. Always be sure the tensioner foot is free
and periodically lubricate the support pin.
2. Clean the teeth on the feedwheel and the
gripper plug with the special brush
provided, (Part No. 023963).
3. Periodically clean the tool with an air
hose.
4. Disassemble, clean and lubricate the
welding mechanism.
GEAR HOUSING
Periodically check the gear housing portion
of the tool:
1. Remove the end cap (5) from the front of
the gear housing by removing the set
screw (4) and pulling the end cap off.
2. Check for adequate lubrication and wear
of the Spiroid worm (28) and gear (10).
INSERT 2 #10-24 SCREWS, (NOT PROVIDED), INTO
END CAP TO ASSIST IN REMOVAL FROM
HOUSING.
3. This portion of the tool should be from
20% to 50% full of Non-Fluid Oil K-55.
4. Reinstall the end cap.
EXCESS OIL REMOVAL
If the weld time is too long and seemingly
cannot be adjusted the tool may have an
excessive amount of oil internally. Purge the
tool of the excess oil as follows:
1. Open the flow control fully by turning
the adjusting screw fully
counterclockwise (approximately 7
turns).
2. Attach the air supply to the supply inlet.
With out operating the air motor, pull the
weld handle to the full rear position.
3. Once the handle has been pulled back,
the weld air valve will shift (air valve
shifting can be heard by an audible rush
of air). Push the handle back to the
forward position once the valve has
shifted. Perform this operation a few
times.
4. Once again bring the weld handle to the
rear position. The timer should begin to
shut off the valve automatically. When
the valve is shut off almost as soon as
the weld handle is pulled to the rear, the
excess oil has been purged.
5. Reset the flow control adjustment so
that the proper weld time is restored.
6. Refer to page 6 for proper air supply
lubrication.
