6-section Frame
Installation
Frame Installation:
1. Remove the shipping slides from under each foot pad of the Carrier frame.
2. Set the frame in position, using the dimensions from the "Clamp Carrier Specification Sheet". For
safety, be sure to either protect the rear of the Carrier with a suitable guard or place the rear of the
Carrier near a wall.
Note: For proper clearance, the distance from the center of the main shaft of the Carrier to the
wall behind the Carrier should be at least 50" for 32" Clamps (54" for 36" Clamps, 58" for
40" Clamps, etc.).
3. Level the machine, adding shims under the legs as necessary.
4. Lag the legs to the floor. This is very important!
5. Secure the two front rest positioning plates to the front legs of the Carrier frame with U-bolts.
6. Secure the two front rest rods to the front legs of the Carrier.
7. Install the front rest.

3. Rotate the front shaft to align the keyway in the shaft with the keyway in the Air Motor Drive.
4. Insert the longest key possible.
5. Several 1/2" spacers have been supplied, each of different length. You will use only one of them.
Select the spacer that will project slightly beyond the right end of Air Motor Drive's hollow shaft
as the other end of the spacer contacts the front shaft. Use flat washers if necessary.
6. Secure the Air Motor Drive with the disc, 1/2" lockwasher, and 1/2" hex head bolt.
7. There are four plugs shown on the diagram above, two black and two white. Remove the two
black plugs from the Air Motor Drive and replace them with plastic vented plugs (supplied). This
will minimize pressure buildup in the Air Motor Drive.

Air Motor Drive Hoses
Installation
Hooking Up the Air Motor Drive Hoses:
1. Mount the air filter/lubricator/regulator assembly
on the right front leg of the Clamp Carrier.
2. Connect the air supply line. It must be 3/4" pipe
or larger.
3. Position the foot valve assembly to the right side
of the front rest in a position such that the operator can easily operate the front rest but is not
likely to get pinched between the clamps and the
front rest. Fasten it to the floor.
4. Attach the 1/2" hose from the filter/lubricator/
regulator assembly to the center fitting on the
foot valve assembly.
Note: The ends of the Air Motor Drive
hoses are color coded for easy identification.
5. Attach the 1/2" hose with the large muffler to the
rear fitting of the air motor.
6. Attach the 1/2" hose with the small muffler to
the front fitting of the air motor.
Adjusting the Air Motor Drive:
1. Fill the lubricator bowl with SAE #10 nondetergent oil.
2. Turn the air on. Adjust the regulator to 75 psi.
3. Depress the right foot pedal briefly. This should
rotate the clamps upward. If the clamps rotate
downward, reverse the two hoses on the air
motor.
4. Swing the front rest outward. Depress the left
foot valve. This should rotate the clamps downward. As the clamps approach the front rest,
swing the front rest back to its upright position.
5. Adjust the forward rotation speed with the gate
valve on the air motor (below the large muffler)
as desired.
6. Adjust the lubricator such that five drops of oil
drip (in the sight bubble at the top of the lubricator) for each 2 seconds of air motor operation.
The Clamp Carrier should use approximately 1/3
of a bowl of oil per week.

Front Rest Rod
Positioning Plate
Front Rest Installation:
1. Secure the two front rest positioning plates to the front legs of the Carrier frame with the U-bolts
supplied.
2. Each of the spring loaded front rest rods has 4 nuts on one end. Remove 2 nuts from each rod,
insert the rods into the brackets halfway up the front legs, and replace the two nuts.
3. Attach the base of the front rest to the two positioning plates. Secure with 1/8 x 1-1/2 cotter pins.
4. Swing the front rest up and attach the slotted ends of the front rest rods to the front rest.
5. Lag the positioning plates to the floor.
6. Adjust the front rest rods. The front rest should be vertical when the ends of the clamps just
overlap the top rail of the front rest. Be sure that the clamp handles rotate without hitting the front
rest. Adjust the front rest rods by running the nuts up close to the tabs on the legs, allowing a 1/2"
gap betwen each pair of nuts to allow the front rest to pivot freely. Lock the nuts together to
secure them in the proper position.

Note for installing two Panel Flatteners: When installing a second Panel Flattener, attach
a long 1/4" hose to a tee at the outlet of the Panel Flattener regulator. Feed the free end of
this hose through the lower pipe on the beam and connect it to the back side of the 1/4" x
1/8" fitting at the left end of the beam. Slide the Panel Flatteners to the far right end of the
beam. Attach a 1/4" hose that has clips attached for clipping to the hose support cable to the
1/8" fitting on the left Panel Flattener carriage. Starting at the attached end of the hose, clip
the clips onto the Panel Flattener hose support cable. When the left end of the beam is
reached, attach the hose to the front of the 1/8" fitting at the end of the beam.
Testing the Panel Flattener:
1. Fill the lubricator bowl on the air filter/lubricator assembly (on the Clamp Carrier leg) with SAE
#10 non-detergent oil.
2. Turn on the air. Adjust the Panel Flattener air regulator to 10 psi.
3. Squeeze the safety valve lever on the Flattener piston rod and press down the tee handle. The
Panel Flattener cylinder should extend downward. Release the lever and tee handle. The Flattener should stay down until the tee handle is pulled upward.
4. Make sure that the Panel Flattener cylinder will not extend unless the safety valve lever is
squeezed. If it will, check the safety air circuit.
5. Check the maximum stroke of the Panel Flattener cylinder. You should be able to flatten 1/2"
thick stock. If not, recheck the "A" dimension described at the beginning of the Panel Flattener
Installation section.

2-handed Panel Flattener
Installation
Adjusting the Panel Flattener:
1. Set the Panel Flattener air pressure as desired, from 10 psi to 90 psi.
2. The Panel Flattener is spring loaded, so that the Flattener cylinder does not hang straight down,
but rather at a slight angle toward the Clamp Carrier. This angle can be adjusted, if desired, with
two screws that are located inside the two 1/2" x 9" pipes on the Panel Flattener carriage. A
special wrench (a bent 1/4" bolt) has been supplied for making this adjustment.

Operation
Coating the Clamps:
A 16-oz. spray bottle is supplied with your machine for coating the clamps with Bates Boothcoating.
Pour the Boothcoating directly from the 1-quart can into the spray bottle and adjust the nozzle.
Spray a light mist of Boothcoating over all areas that will come in contact with the glue. You may
also want to spray some on the horizonatal I-Beams to make sliding the clamps from side to side
easier.
Additional quantities of Boothcoating can be purchased from:
U.C. Chemical Corp.

2250 Fillmore Avenue
Buffalo, NY 14215
Phone: 716-833-9366; ask for George Fergusen
See the brochure at the back of this manual for further details.
Setting up the clamps:
1. Clamps should be spaced no more than 18" apart.
2. For laminating or face gluing, be sure to use Rocker Plates to insure even pressure across the face
of the stock.
Loading the Clamp Carrier:
The Clamp Carrier should be kept relatively balanced at all times . When first loading an empty
machine with heavy stock it may be necessary to first load one section of clamps, then rotate the
machine one-half turn (180 degrees) and load the second section. Continue rotating the Carrier by
one-half turns while loading the remaining sections. The same method may also be used in unloading.

Operating the Clamp Carrier:
1. Load stock into the clamps on one section (row of clamps) of the Clamp Carrier and tighten the
clamps by hand.
2. Rotate the Clamp Carrier backwards and swing the front rest outward. Rotate the Carrier forward
and move the front rest back to its upright position. This may take a little practice, as you'll want
the machine to rotate far enough that all of the clamps make good contact with the front rest, but
not so far that the clamps are pinned too tightly against the front rest to be slid easily from side to
side.
3. Loosen the clamps and remove the glued panels.

2-handed Panel-Flattener
Operation
Operating the Panel Flattener:
1. Load stock into the clamps on one section (row of clamps) of the Clamp Carrier.
2. Start at the left side of the Clamp Carrier. Using the tee handle, slide the Panel Flattener along the
beam until it is located between the first two clamps to be tightened. Push and pull the tee handle
to center the Flattener shoe on the panel. Twist the handle left and right to dodge the jaws of the
clamps if necessary.
3. Squeeze the safety valve lever on the Flattener piston rod and press down the tee handle. The
Panel Flattener cylinder should extend downward. Release the lever and tee handle. The Flattener should stay down until the tee handle is pulled upward.
4. Tighten the clamp that is to the left of the Flattener (or both clamps if there are only two clamps
on the panel). Release the Panel Flattener by pulling upward on the tee handle.
5. Position the Panel Flattener between the next pair of clamps to be tightened.
6. Tighten the clamp that is to the left of
the Flattener. If the Flattener is between the two last clamps on the
panel, tighten both clamps.
7. Repeat the above steps for the remaining clamps on this section.
8. Slide the Panel Flattener to one side so
it will clear the clamps when the
Clamp Carrier is rotated.
9. Pull out the Clamp Carrier's front rest,
rotate the Carrier to the next section,
returning the front rest to its upright
position at the appropriate time.
Safety:
1. You should use no more than one
Clamp Carrier operator per Panel
Flattener. The Panel Flattener produces up to 750 pounds of force; more
than enough to injure a man's hand.
2. Each operator must use both hands to
operate the Panel Flattener.
3. Make sure that the Panel Flattener
cylinder will not extend unless the
safety valve lever is squeezed. If it
will, check the safety air circuit. Do
not use the Panel Flattener until proper
repairs have been made.

Edge Gluing
Troubleshooting
Stock is buckling, popping out of the clamps:
1. Clamps may be too tight.
2. Glue spread may be too heavy.
3. The stock may not be prepared properly. The glue joints must be cut square.
Stock is sliding:
1. Glue spread may be too heavy.
Panels are falling apart or “checking”:
1. Check stock preparation for:
a. Squareness and straightness of glue joints. Adjust rip saws if necessary.
b. Glazed (hard, shiny) joints caused by dull saw blades.
c. Proper moisture content. The moisture content of the stock should be uniform from board
to board and should be from 6% to 8%.
2. Check glue for:
a. Proper type of glue (PVA or aliphatic resin recommended).
b. Amount of water added. PVA glue breaks down as over 5% water is added by weight.
c. Chalking. PVA glues will chalk if the glue or the lumber is too cold.
3. Check that the glue is not "pre-curing," drying before the boards are clamped. A thicker glue
spread will often decrease pre-cure.
4. Check that there is sufficient clamp pressure. All joints should pulled up tight, showing some
sqeezed out glue. If the clamp pressure appears to be low, check clamps for lack of lubrication.
Oil the screws and thrust washers if necessary.
5. Be sure to rip the stock to width and glue it the same day that it is cut to length.
Lumber absorbs and loses moisture primarily through its ends. You may have noticed that
the ends of long boards are often dry and cracked while the center sections of the boards may not
yet be fully dry.
When wet boards are cut to length, the resulting boards immediately begin losing moisture
through their (new) ends, and the ends begin to shrink. The longer the wait before ripping, the
more the ends shrink. Then when the boards are ripped, more stock is removed from the middles
of the boards than from the ends. After gluing, as the middles of these boards finally lose moisture and shrink, open joints may appear at the middles of the glued panels.
On the other hand, when dry boards are cut to length, the resulting boards immediately begin
absorbing moisture through their (new) ends, and the ends begin to swell. The longer the wait
before ripping, the more the ends swell. Then when the boards are ripped, more stock is removed
from the ends of the boards than from the middles. After gluing, as the middles of these boards
finally absorb moisture and expand, open joints or "checks" may appear at the ends of the glued
panels.
To avoid these problems, be sure to rip the stock to width and glue it the same day that it is
cut to length, before the ends of the stock have had a chance to lose or absorb moisture.

Edge Gluing
Troubleshooting
6. Check the relative humidity of your glueroom. If your glueroom is too humid, the ends of the
stock will absorb moisture before, during and after gluing, causing them to swell. This may cause
open joints at the center of the glued panels. If your glueroom is too dry, the ends of the stock
will lose moisture, causing them to shrink. This may cause open joints at the ends of the glued
panels, or “end checks.”
There is a direct relationship between the relative humidity of your glueroom and the Equilibrium Moisture Content of the stock (the moisture content that the stock will gravitate toward).
A rise in the glueroom's humidity will mean a corresponding rise in the stock's EMC. Therefore,
as can be seen from the graph below, if the stock has been properly dried to between 6% and 8%,
then to insure that the stock will not be absorbing or losing moisture before, during and after
gluing, you should keep the relative humidity of your glueroom between 30% and 42% :

Glue Joints are “Sunken”:
1. Panels that are surfaced too soon after gluing may have sunken glue joints. It's best to wait 24
hours after gluing before surfacing.
Panels are Bowed:
1. The spacer between the two clamp mounting stampings may be missing on some clamps. These
clamps then will not be able to "float" in and out to automatically center themselves on the panels.
2. On 8' long panels or longer, a special clamp tightening sequence should be used. First tighten the
clamps on the quarters (1/4 of the way in from each end of the panel), then the center clamp(s),
then the end clamps, and finally all remaining clamps.
Panels are Barrel or Hour Glass Shaped:
1. Check the individual boards for barrel or hour glass shapes; adjust the rip saws as needed.

2-handed Panel Flattener
Troubleshooting
Panel Flattener Will Not Extend:
1. Check the air supply. You must have at least a 3/4" pipe air supply, at 75 psi.
2. Check that the Panel Flattener's safety interlock (pilot air) circuit is operating properly. If not,
make repairs as needed.
3. The lubricator should be using oil. If not, adjust the lubricator such that one drop of oil drips (in
the sight bubble at the top of the lubricator) for each 3 strokes of the Panel Flattener.
4. If the Panel Flattener has been operated for awhile without oil, the leather cup in the Flattener's air
cylinder may be dried out and leaking. New leather cups are available from Taylor.

Air Motor Drive
Troubleshooting
Clamp Carrier rotates with difficulty:
1. Check the air supply. You must have at least a 3/4" pipe air supply (1" pipe for an Automated
Clamp Carrier), at 75 psi. Check that the Air Motor Drive regulator is set for 75 psi.
2. Check that the gate valve on the Air Motor Drive exhaust is adjusted properly (see the Installation
section of this manual).
3. The Clamp Carrier lubricator should be using approximately 1/3 of a bowl of oil per week. If not,
adjust the lubricator such that five drops of oil drip (in the sight bubble at the top of the lubricator)
for each 2 seconds of air motor operation. If the air motor has been run for awhile without oil, the
motor may be siezing. If this is the case, you will probably need to rebuild your air motor. Rebuild kits are available from Taylor.
4. Inspect the gear box oil level via the sight glass on the gear box. The oil level should be midway
up the sight glass window. Add 90 weight extreme pressure lubricant if necessary.
5. Remove the Air Motor Drive from the Clamp Carrier frame. If the Carrier does not rotate freely
by hand, see the "Clamp Carrier Frame Troubleshooting" section of this manual.
