Maintenance

Your G8 Stitcher Head has been fully lubricated at the factory, but to insure continuous

superior operation and a longer life of the head, the operator should be sure that the G8 is

lubricated regularly and carefully maintained. The operator should periodically inspect all moving

parts for signs of wear and when required, replace the worn parts. Parts such as the Wire Cutters, the

Clincher Points and the Driver are subject to wear and have been so designed to be reversible to pro-

vide duplicate cutting and driving surfaces. If after continuous usage, the original cutting or gripping

surfaces of any of these parts show signs of wear, their position in the head can be reversed, thereby

providing a new surface and lengthening the life of the part. For a complete list of wear and replace-

ment parts for your G8 style Stitcher Head, refer to page 53 in the back of this manual.

The following instructions are provided so that the operator will clearly understand how to lubricate

the Stitcher Heads and how to identify and remove any of the parts which may need to be replaced.

Lubrication (Figure 15)

Use any standard S.A.E. #10 oil for lubricating the heads. Heads that are in constant operation

should be lubricated daily. Heads that are operated periodically should be lubricated every five pound

wire spool change or every month, which ever comes first. Usually, only a drop of oil is required at

each lubrication point. Care must be taken that those parts of the head that contact the work to be

stitched are free of oil. Lubricate regularly instead of excessively. Excessive oiling will result in work

becoming spotted with oil. Use one drop of oil in the following lubrication points:
