MAINTENANCE FOR SPA-100 1. Use a soft brush to lightly remove any debris that may build up on machine. Always keep the nest cavity clean. 2. Grease machine at the top, once a month or every 500 hours of service. With the machine off, take a cloth underneath the ram and remove excess grease. This should be done from time to time between greasings to assure that grease does not come in contact with product. 3.
Ram adjusting procedure: If the ram is cycling erratically or drifting down where it is difficult to insert a plug into the nest, follow these instructions. When the ram drops down to low after the plugs have been tested and then removed from the nest, the micro switch is a bit out of adjustment. • Loosen the nut (item #72) and turn the screw counter clockwise about 1/8th of a turn, then tighten the nut. If this doesn’t eliminate the problem repeat the process.
