Assembly

• Snug the lower T-head bolt with hex nut (55) lightly.
• Replace the upper jaw Die.
• Replace the upper wedge (14), tightening wedge (13) and T-head bolt (43).
• Replace the spring packages.
• Make sure that there is a clearance of 3/16″-5/16″ (5-8 mm) between the upper and lower jaw dies and that the tightening wedge (17) has not bottomed out.
• Tighten the spring packages using hex nut (55). The spring packages are properly compressed when the bottom of the Spring Washer Housing (29) is flush with the bottom of the Spring Retainer (28). Secure with a “double” nut (55).

NOTE! The tightening sequence:
First pre-tighten the lower bolts and adjust the clearance between the upper and lower jaw die 3/16″-5/16″ (5-8 mm). Tighten the upper bolts and then lower ones. If the tightening wedge has bottomed out and there is no clearance, torch cut a piece from the jaw dies.

After every jaw die change or rotation the crusher setting must be checked. The tension on the return rod spring must be checked and adjusted if necessary. Refer to dimension “L” in the table Length of Spring.
