Selecting the Hoop in OS

1. BEFORE attaching the Melco Fast Clamp to the machine, launch the operating software (OS).
2. Power on the machine and ensure that it is connected and communicating with the OS.
3. Select the Melco Fast Clamp in the hoop selection section of the software. Since the Melco Fast Clamp has
yet to be assembled, any width selection will work.
a. If the Melco Fast Clamp selection is unavailable in the OS hoop list, you will need to download an
update to the OS or download a new hoop database file. Please go to

the instructions PRIOR to attaching the Melco Fast Clamp to your machine.
4. Move the machine to hoop center using the Hoop and Center key command or through the software.
The machine MUST be at hoop center prior to attaching the Melco Fast Clamp.
III. Assembling the Melco Fast Clamp – Video Available Online
To assemble the Melco Fast Clamp, you will need the following:
•
Hex wrenches (2.5mm, 3mm, and 6mm) – included in
the machine operators kit
•
Melco Fast Clamp Chassis
•
Melco Fast Clamp Lower Clamp Arms (1 left and 1 right
of matching lengths)
•
Melco Fast Clamp Upper Clamp Arms x2 (matching
lengths)
•
Lower Clamp Arm Release Screws x2

Attach the Lower Clamp Arms

1. Begin with a matched set of arms. Make sure to install
all the same length arms.
2. Match each lower clamp arm to the appropriate side of
the chassis. This is easiest to accomplish by looking at
the angled section of the arm and matching it to the
angled portion of the chassis.
3. Align the tabs on the chassis with the slots on the lower
clamp arm.
4. Slide the lower clamp arm onto the chassis and align the
screw holes.
5. Using one lower clamp arm release screw per arm,
attach the lower clamp arm. The screw will attach from the inside, going first through the chassis and then
into the threaded portion of the lower clamp arm.
6. Do this for both lower clamp arms.
