5.2 TOOL INSTALLATION AND CHANGEOVER: SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS DURING MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT Before adjusting or maintaining the device, the personnel and/or operators responsible for those tasks must be aware that the 3arm® arm is designed to work with a pre-established load range.
5.3 BALANCING THE ARM Adjust the tension on the inner spring if the arm drops down or has too much upward force. 1- Keep the swing arm in an approximately horizontal position to facilitate operation. 2- Screw/unscrew the tension regulator as required. 5 mm Allen key. o Anti-clockwise rotation: More tension is applied to the damper.
5.4 ADJUSTING ROTATIONAL RESISTANCE The resistance to rotation can be regulated by friction elements. Located in the parallel (on the axis of the base and on the axis of the cross). As we adjust the studs with nylon tip through the thread, will increase or decrease rotational resistance.
5.5 SPECIAL FIXATION FOR SQUARE TOOLS In order to fix the tool in the correct way, Tecnospiro recommends using the special Grub screws with ball point for thrust pads. This component allows fixing the tool from all sides adapting the pads to the tool square surface.
6 MAINTENANCE 6.1 REPLACING THE GAS SPRING 1- Unscrew the tension regulator (1) as far as it will go. Keep the swing arm in an approximately horizontal position to facilitate operation. Remove the stud (3). 2.5 mm Allen key. Using an M4 bolt, remove the pin (2) from the brace (the lower end of the brace will be released).
6.2 CHANGING THE HEAD ASSEMBLY PLEASE NOTE ✓ Release all tension in the spring [see BALANCING THE ARM, page -20-]. ✓ Keep the arm in its lower position, securing it firmly to prevent it from abruptly jerking upwards. If necessarily, have two operators on hand to perform this operation safely. Release all tension in the [see BALANCING THE ARM, page -20-].
