Re-assembling the Stitcher Head (Figure 21)
1. Compress the Supporter Plunger (G20742) with the Bender Slide Plunger (G20564) until the
Bender Slide Pin (G20569) can be hooked in the back of the Bender Bar. Slide these two assemblies
into the G20 Bonnet, from the top.
2. Hook the Driver Bar (G20551) on the Feed Slide (G20531) and slide both assemblies in from the
top of the Bonnet. Make sure the Driver slides freely between the two (2) Bender Inserts on the
Bender Bar. Slide the Adjustment Block in next and re-attach the Upper Adjustment Slide to it with
the Cap Screw. Final position and tightening of this Screw will come after the head is mounted on a
machine.
3. Replace the Feed Gear Shaft Plate, the Feed Lever and the Cutter Operating Lever Assembly, if
removed previously. Slip the Feed Lever Spring back through the Feed Lever Extension and secure
it with the Feed lever Spring Bushing.
4. Re-assemble the Wire Holder Pivot Block and Feed Gear Bracket to the G20 Bonnet and secure
them in place with the previously removed Cap Screws. The large Feed Gear may have to be
manually maneuvered to align it with the teeth on the Wire Feed Rack (G20537).
5. Assemble the Cutter Block Assembly to the Cutter Block Slide Plate (G20202) with two (2) Socket
Flat Head Screws. There should be little or no play once the Block is secure, but if there is any
movement, remove both the Cutter Block and the Slide Plate. Re-assemble the Slide Plate to the
Bonnet so that it slides side to side but not up and down.
6. Return the Wire Holder Assembly to its position under the Wire Holder Retaining Spring and the
Middle Wire Tube to its position by inserting it into the Lower Wire Tube and snapping it into place
in the Middle Wire Tube Clip.
