CHAPTER 2 PRECAUTIONS PRECAUTIONS Make sure the operator of the machine has read and understands this manual in its entirety before attempting to operate this equipment. ALWAYS keep covers, guards and lids mounted to machine during operation OBSERVE and OBEY all safety and warning signs affixed to the machine. ALWAYS adhere to and follow all local and national safety codes concerning the loading and un-loading of reeled coils.

CHAPTER 3 GENERAL MAINTENANCE GENERAL MAINTENANCE 1. Always keep covers on during operation and storage. The covers are for operator safety, but also protect the internal components of the machine from the environment. 2. Avoid storage of the machine outdoors for long periods of time. Cover your machine with a tarp to protect it but provide good ventilation to prevent condensation and rust.
CHAPTER 3 GENERAL MAINTENANCE Recommended Lubricants and Fluids Spray Lube for: Shear Blades, Dies, and Entry Guide Super Lube - Multi-Purpose Synthetic Dri Film Aerosol Lubricant with Syncolon (PTFE) Catalog No. 11016 11 oz. Aerosol Can Available from: MSC Supply at 1-800-645-7270 Clear Grease for: Arbor Cradles Synthetic Extreme Pressure, High Temperature Grease with Syncolon (PTFE)

CHAPTER 4 ELECTRICAL CONTROLS AND OPERATION ELECTRICAL CONTROLS AND OPERATION POWER CORD REQUIREMENTS For machines equipped with a QCPP-E it is very important to follow the power cord requirement prescribed by the motor and electrical control manufacturers to maintain their respective warranties.

CHAPTER 4 ELECTRICAL CONTROLS AND OPERATION Function #1 (Power On) Pull this button OUT prior to starting the machine. Function #2 (Emergency Stop-Power Off) Once the machine is running, pushing this button in will stop all functions and completely shut down the machine including the engine. If the shear is in the down cycle it will freeze it in position.
CHAPTER 4 ELECTRICAL CONTROLS AND OPERATION FUSES (Figure 3) All machines, gas or electric powered, have a 10-amp time delay fuse inside the Electrical Control Panel Assembly. This fuse protects the electrical components. If the fuse is blown, you will lose all functions of the machine except Motor Start. To replace this fuse: Loosen all 4 cover screws and open the front panel of the Control Box.

CHAPTER 5 REEL STANDS, REELS, AND EXPANABLE ARBORS REEL STANDS, REELS AND EXPANDABLE ARBORS EXPANDABLE ARBOR (Figure 5) The Expandable Arbor adjusts to accommodate coils with 16” to 20” inside diameters by expanding into the ID of the coil. THREADED NUT The threaded nut should always be on the right side of the machine and the tail of the coil should always be routed over the top and pointing toward the exit or shear end of the machine.
Page 16
CHAPTER 5 REEL STANDS, REELS, AND EXPANABLE ARBORS CAUTION: Always use properly rated lifting devices to load and unload coils. Maximum Capacity / Reel: 3,000 lbs. Total Capacity for Reel Stand: 6,000 lbs. 1. The reel shafts must rest in the cradles on the reel rack. Keep the cradles lubricated with synthetic lube to minimize wear.
Page 18
CHAPTER 5 REEL STANDS, REELS, AND EXPANABLE ARBORS LOADING REELED COIL Caution: Always use a forklift or other approved lifting device to load or unload Fixed Reels or Expandable Arbors loaded with coil. The Lifting Holes in the Fixed Reel sides are provided to make loading safer and easier. DO NOT use lifting straps through the lifting holes as the sharp edges may cut the straps.
CHAPTER 6 HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS Maintenance (Figure 7) The hydraulic system for your machine is a very durable and reliable system. It must be properly maintained to ensure trouble free operation and longevity. The factory has installed a 32 weight AW hydraulic fluid.
CHAPTER 7 DRIVE SYSTEM DRIVE SYSTEM The drive rollers are set at the factory and should not need adjustment. Over time, the chains will wear down causing them to get longer and the chain tensioning sprockets will need to be adjusted to keep the chain tight.
CHAPTER 8 SHEAR ASSEMBLY SHEAR ASSEMBLY OPERATION Push the SHEAR DOWN button to activate the shear cycle and cut material. IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY: Push the SHEAR UP button during the down cycle to immediately send the shear up to the home position. The shear is electrically activated and hydraulically driven.
CHAPTER 8 SHEAR ASSEMBLY Adjusting the left-right position of the shear: 1. Shut off power to the machine 2. Remove the shear cover, then loosen the six “A” bolts but do not remove. 3. Use a large screwdriver to pry on the slots (Figure 12) until the shear is located correctly. 4.
CHAPTER 8 SHEAR ASSEMBLY SHEAR MAINTENANCE 1. Clean and lubricate the Top Blades, Bottom Dies, and Male/ Female dies at least once a day during normal use, or whenever cutting surfaces look dry. Proper lubrication is essential to clean cuts, rust prevention and longevity. Super Lube - Multi-Purpose Synthetic Dri Film Aerosol Lubricant with Syncolon (PTFE) Catalog No.
CHAPTER 10 RUN OUT TABLES RUN OUT TABLES (Figure 15) The Run-Out Table attaches to the Exit End of the Shear assembly, and is used to support the gutter as it exits the machine. It is available in 10 ft. long sections that fasten together, and have adjustable legs so they can be set to the correct height.
CHAPTER 11 POST-FACE KNIFE ROLLER ADJUSTMENT POST-FACE KNIFE ROLLER (Figure 16) When changing the coil from steel to aluminum, or vice-versa, the post-face knife roller needs to be adjusted in order to maintain a quality gutter. To do this, follow the procedure below and refer to Figure 22.
CHAPTER 12 TROUBLESHOOTING TROUBLESHOOTING The hydraulic system operates the Shear and Drive assemblies. They are interfaced together and electronically activated. The hydraulic system pressure is factory set at 2000 psi and should not be changed. Some of the common problems that occur and their solutions follow below.
Page 30
CHAPTER 12 TROUBLESHOOTING 2. Shear travels to the bottom of the stroke and returns to the top of the stroke without cutting the panel completely through. SOLUTION: Press and hold the Green Shear Down Button until the panel is cut off.
CHAPTER 12 TROUBLESHOOTING Figure 18: Limit Switch Adjustment 4. Manual Control Panel buttons do not work. SOLUTION #1: Check fuse inside of Manual Control Box. Replace if blown with a 10-amp time delay fuse (Figure 3 on page 10). SOLUTION #2: If you have a gasoline engine, check the condition of the battery. The control system requires 12 volts to operate properly.
CHAPTER 13 HOOK ASSEMBLY (OPTIONAL) HOOK ASSEMBLY (OPTIONAL) (Figure 19) The Hook Assembly is a self-contained assembly which can be added to a gutter machine. The New Tech machine is capable of running a straight back (with a bead) or hook type gutter profile from the same machine.
APPENDIX A COMPUTER BATCH AND LENGTH CONTROLLER COMPUTER BATCH AND LENGTH CONTROLLER The optional Batch and Length Control Computer is used to control number and length of panels that your machine produces. It uses an Encoder and Wheel assembly that runs on the bottom of the panel for measurement.
