Installing the new Ram
1. Using a scale, note the distance between the head of the capstan screw
(30) and the top of the damaged ram
before
removing the capstan screw.
Keep the distance the
same when replacing the
capstan screw into the
new ram. Also remove
the 3/32” set screw from
the damaged ram and
re-install it into the new
ram until it makes
contact with the capstan
screw –
do not tighten
the set screw yet.
2. Slide the new ram from
the bottom up through
the dove-tail section of
the casting, then replace
plunger spring (46) into hole at top of casting and screw the depth
adjustment screw into the ram until the operating handle can be pulled
down no further than the 9 o’clock (horizontal) position.
3. Re-install the table slide assembly (4-21-41) onto the machine base using
the four ¼ - 20 socket head cap screws.
4. Turn the machine upside-down and install the connector link (36) to the
stud on the bell crank (17) and stud on the pawl assembly (11-12-7-38).
5. Replace the character dial and test the machine for spacing and depth of
mark.
Note: There are two (2) studs on the pawl assembly. The connector link
should be placed on the stud
opposite
the stud that the space button
assembly (2-24) pushes on.
