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 the machine with a
tarp to protect it but provide good ventilation to prevent condensation and rust.
3. Keep the machine clean. This will increase the life of the machine and make maintenance
easier. A clean machine will provide a clean product.
4. Before operating the machine, visually inspect for foreign objects debris or anything unusual.
If something doesn’t seem correct, inspect and remedy prior to operation.
5. Keep chains properly tensioned. This will add to the life of the chains and sprockets. The
chains should be just snug. An over-tightened chain is just as bad for the machine as a loose
chain. Idler sprockets are provided on each chain for this purpose.
6. Lubricate the chains a minimum of every 40 hours of operation. It is preferable to use a dry
motorcycle chain lube or equivalent.
7. Keep Entry Guide Carriage clean and lubricate as needed with Spray Lube.
8. Keep Bead Roller Carriage Shafts (Figure 19 on page 34) clean and lubricate with Spray
Lube.
9. Keep Arbor Cradles (Figure 9 on page 19) lubricated with Clear Grease.
10. Lubricate Arbor Nut (Figure 8 on page 17) using a grease gun with EP Grease when threads
begin to look dry.
11. Clean Forming Rollers as needed with a Scotch Brite Pad and a small amount of solvent.
12. Clean Drive Rollers with soap and water or mild solvent free spray cleaner. CAUTION: Do
not use harsh chemicals or solvents or damage will occur.
13. Lubricate both faces of the Shear Blades and Dies (Figure 17 on page 30) a minimum of once
daily with Spray Lube. More should be added as needed before the cut edges begin to
deteriorate.

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. Make sure the cord being used is marked properly. Do not
assume that because an extension cord looks heavy enough that it is the right gauge. Use
of the wrong gauge extension cord will void the warranty on motor and electrical
controls.
GENERATOR USE FOR ELECTRIC MOTOR MACHINES
If a generator will be used to power the machine it must be large enough to handle the
amp draw requirements of the motor. Contact a local generator supplier for proper sizing
and refer to the specification plate on the electric motor. Use of an improperly sized
generator will cause a low voltage situation of the electric motor and controls which
will void the warranty.
MANUAL CONTROL PANEL OPERATION:
(Figure 3 on page 12)
A. FORWARD-REVERSE Switch
This selector switch controls the direction of movement of the material through the
machine. Select forward to feed material and run panel through the machine.
NOTE: For operator safety, the machine will NOT run continuously in reverse.
B. JOG-RUN Switch
This selector switch allows the machine to run continuously or jog material through the
machine. Select JOG to load coil into machine and to move material through the
machine in small increments until it clears the shear dies. Select run after material has
cleared the shear and the machine is ready to run.
NOTE: The LENGTH CONTROL LIMIT SWITCH must be plugged in to the
Limit Switch Plug at the bottom of the Manual Control Box Assembly to run
continuously.
C. START FEED (Green button)
This button is used to activate the drive system of the machine. (Jog only unless limit
switch is plugged in)
D. STOP FEED (Red button)
This button acts as a cycle interrupt for the drive system. Pressing the Stop Feed
Button on either the entry or exit end of the machine will stop the machine drive
system.
E. SHEAR DOWN (Green button)
Pressing this button once will cycle the shear to the bottom of its stroke and return it back
to the top or home position. This is one shear cycle.
F. SHEAR UP (Red button)
Pressing this button during the down cycle of the shear will immediately send the shear
back to the top or home position.

CHAPTER 5
ELECTRICAL CONTROLS AND OPERATION

G. EMERGENCY STOP-POWER ON (Raised Red Mushroom button)
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. The shear will return back to the top of stroke or home
position once the engine or motor is re-started. This button is also used to shut the
machine down when not in use. Failure to push this button in prior to storage, even
overnight, could result in a dead battery on gas engine models.
H. MOTOR START (Green button)
The Emergency Stop-Power On button must be pulled out before the Start Button
will function.
Press this button momentarily to start the Electric Motor machine.
Press and hold this button until the engine starts on a Gas Engine model.
ENTRY END CONTROL STATION
A. JOG SWITCH
This switch is used to load coil into the machine. Turn the switch to the right to jog the
material forward or turn the switch to the left to jog the material in reverse.
B. STOP FEED (Red button)
This button acts as a cycle interrupt for the drive system. Pressing the Stop Feed
Button on either the entry or exit end of the machine will stop the machine drive
system.
MAIN CONTROL CABLE
(Figure 4 on page 13)
A. The main control cable is the communication cable for the Manual Control Panel
described above and the Computer Batch and Length Control Computer covered
in Appendix B. This cable must be connected to one or the other in order for the
machine to operate.
B. The Main Control Cable exits thru the panel below and under the left corner of
the Manual Control Panel. There are three cables there and it is the larger
diameter plug of the three. It has a key and slot configuration that must be aligned
before the male/female connection can be made on the Manual Control Panel or
Batch and Length Control Computer. This prevents misalignment and damage to
the pins.
Manual Control Panel Connection
Connect the Female end of the Main Control Cable to the panel mounted male
connection located at the bottom left corner of the Manual Control Panel. Make
sure that the key and slot are aligned and carefully start the threads on the
connection and turn clockwise until snug.
Batch and Length Control Computer Connection

CHAPTER 5
ELECTRICAL CONTROLS AND OPERATION

Connect the Female end of the Main Control Cable to the panel mounted male
connection located in the bottom of the computer on the right side. Make sure that
the key and slot are aligned and carefully start the threads on the connection and
turn clockwise until snug.
REMOTE LIMIT SWITCH
(Figure 5 on page 14)
Note: The machine will NOT run continuously in the forward direction unless the
REMOTE LIMIT SWITCH is plugged into the machine. The Remote Limit
Switch is used for manual panel length control. The remote limit switch is
designed to attach to the right side of the optional run-out tables. Plug the female
end of a 3-wire 14-gage extension cord into the limit switch, and the male end
into the female Limit Switch Plug located at the bottom of the Control Panel
Assembly. The length of the panel intended to run determines length of the
extension cord needed. Run out a panel to the desired length and stop the
machine. Slide the Remote Limit Switch onto the bottom of the angle on the right
side of the run out table so that the ARM of the switch is against the end of the
panel. See section RUN OUT TABLES AND REMOTE LIMIT SWITCH on
page 46.
FUSES
(Figure 6 on page 15)
All machines, gas or electric powered, have a 10-amp time delay fuse on the back of the
Electrical Control Panel Assembly. This fuse protects the electrical components. If the fuse
is blown, the machine will lose all functions except Motor Start. Access can be gained by
removing the entry end right side cover. This is a panel mounted, spring loaded fuse holder.
To replace this fuse: Push in on the cap and turn counterclockwise to release fuse. Check
fuse with a continuity tester. If the fuse is bad replace with a new fuse. To re-install, insert
fuse into cap. Install fuse and cap assembly into receptacle, push down and turn clockwise
to lock in place
ELECTRIC MOTOR MACHINES
(Figure 7 on page 15)
Electric motor machines have an additional 10-amp time delay fuse protecting the logic
circuit of the Contactor Box. This fuse holder is mounted in the top cover of the contactor
box located toward the entry end on the left side. Access can be gained by removing the
entry end left side cover. This is a panel mounted, spring loaded fuse holder. To replace
this fuse: Push in on the cap and turn counterclockwise to release fuse. Check fuse with a
continuity tester. If the fuse is bad replace with a new fuse. To re-install, insert fuse into
cap. Install fuse and cap assembly into receptacle, push down and turn clockwise to lock in
place.

REEL STANDS, REELS AND EXPANDABLE ARBORS
16
REEL STANDS, REELS AND EXPANDABLE ARBORS
EXPANDABLE ARBOR
(Figure 8 on page 17)
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 entry end of the machine.
This threaded nut is used to increase or decrease the outside diameter of the arbor. Turning the
nut clockwise will increase the outside diameter of the arbor, and counter-clockwise rotation will
decrease the arbor size. There is a grease zerk in the collar of the threaded nut that should be
lubricated at least twice a year, or whenever grease in not visible on the threads of the shaft.
END COLLAR
The End Collar has two positions.
Position “A” is used for coils with inside diameters of 16”.
Position “B” is used for coils with inside diameters of 20”.
To adjust from one position to the other, remove 2 cap screws “C” until end collar is free to
slide. Slide it to the inside position for 20” ID or outside position for 16” ID coil. Align it to the
respective threaded holes in the reel shaft. Re-insert and tighten "C" cap screws to lock the end
collar to the shaft.
LOADING EXPANDABLE ARBORS WITH COIL
1. Using the Threaded Nut, collapse the arbor small enough to fit into the inside diameter of
the coil.
2. Slide the Expandable Arbor into the center of the coil making sure the threaded nut is on
the right and the tail of the coil is over the top and pointed toward the entry end of the
machine.
3. Turn the Threaded Nut clockwise until the Support Bars on the arbor are just snug against
the inside of the coil.
4. Using the Reel Set Up Chart, (Figure 8 on page 17), find the “D” dimension that
corresponds to the profile being used.
5. Slide the arbor left or right to get the correct “D” dimension measuring from the edge of
the coil to the end of the Support Bar on the Threaded Nut side.
6. Finish by rotating the Threaded Nut clockwise until the Support Bars are very tight
against the inside of the coil. Verify that dimension “D” is correct, and re-adjust if
necessary. The Coil and Arbor are now ready for loading. (see LOADING REELED
COIL on page 20)
