8.0 Maintenance Guide

DO NOT set the clamp pressure below 400 psi. Severe lacerations or

dismemberment could result! The knife and clamp system loses sequence at settings below 400 psi

and the knife could come down before the clamp.

8.4.4.1 Optional Electronic Clamp Pressure Control Adjustment

The electronic clamping control option allows the convenience of changing the clamp pressure at the

control console. The pressure is controlled by use of the up and down arrow keys, 0 being the

lowest - 15 the highest; and is indicated in the upper right hand corner of the display.

Note: To turn the electronic clamp control option on or off, enter the Maintenance Mode and choose

Diagnostic. Then choose Electric Clamp and select “ON” or “OFF”.

To adjust the actual clamp pressure maximum and minimum, first make sure the Electric Clamp

option is set to “ON” (see above paragraph). Enter the Maintenance Mode and choose Diagnostic.

Then choose Clamp Adjust, and the following screen should be displayed:

correct by using the up and down arrow keys. When finished, press soft-key “D” to exit and go to the
