Removing and Replacing the Grip (Figure 17)
The Grip (9015) can be used in two positions so
that when the gripping teeth show signs of wear, it
may be reversed to extend the life of the part. A worn
Grip may cause inconsistent wire draw. Loosen the
Grip Retaining Clip Screw (9024) and swing the
Grip Retaining Clip (9023) out of the way. Remove
the Grip and reverse its position within the Grip
Holder. If both edges are worn, replace the part.
Removing and Replacing the Driver (Figure 18)
The Driver (9009-25*) is also double-ended so that
when it is worn, it can be reversed to provide a new
driving surface and increase the life of the part. A
worn Driver end may cause poorly formed crowns.
Cycle the stitcher machine manually until the Driver
is at the top of its stroke. Insert the supplied Driver
Release Pin (5160) into the hole in the Driver. This
will depress the Driver Retaining Spring (9010) so that you will be able to push the Driver down along
the Bender Bar (9013BA-25) until it can be pulled out from the bottom of the Head. Either reverse the
existing Driver or replace it with a new one. Slide the Driver back up through the Bender Bar until
you hear the Driver Retaining Spring click, indicating that the Driver is in its correct position.
* See pages 46-48 for a complete list of parts in variable crown and wire sizes
Disassembling the Stitcher Head (Figure 19)
Remove the 26/26D style Stitcher Head from
the stitcher machine. On 2601AHD, 2601DHD
and 2601EHD series heads, loosen the Bonnet
Clamp Eccentric Handle (9003A) and remove the
Stitcher Head from the Bonnet Clamp Block (9002).
On 2001DHD and 2301DHD series heads, loosen
and remove the Bonnet Stud Nut (HN1213) while
supporting the Head. Remove the Head from the
stitcher machine and place it on a clean work area.
Loosen, but do not remove, the Screws securing
the Face Plate Retaining Clips. With the Face Plate
Clips hanging loosely from the Bonnet, remove the
Face Plate paying special attention to the loose Wire
Cutters (9048). Remove the Wire Cutter Operating
Slide, the Wire Cutter Operating Slide Friction Plug,
