Cutting head lift and lower timing are controlled by
the sequence control and normal open limit
switches. The sequence control switch, located
above the left front cutting head, (See Fig. 23)
allows hydraulic oil to flow to the rear lift cylinder.
This sets the proper timing for the lifting and
lowering between the front heads and the rear head.
The limit switches, located above the rear cutting
head, (See Fig. 23) shuts the oil flow off when the
rear cylinder is fully extended or retracted.
1.
With the cutting heads lowered and
cylinders fully retracted, check the
dimension of 1/16" (1.6mm) between the
cam and ear and the same dimension
between the switch bracket and ear (See
Fig. 23).

Once you have completed setting the
sequence control switch move to the limit
switches above the rear head (See Fig.
24).
3.
With the heads lowered and cylinders fully
retracted check the dimension of 1/8"
(3.2mm) between the cam and ear. While
they are still retracted, check the
dimension of 8 7/16" (214mm) from pin to
pin (See Fig. 24).
NOTICE
•
BE SURE the retract switch opens at 8 7/
16" (214mm) measured from pin to pin. If
it does not open, hydraulic pressure will
continue and damage the system. From
pin to pin check the dimension of 11 5/16"
(287mm) when the heads are raised and
the cylinders are fully extended (See Fig.
24).
