L-LS Installation
Step 1.
Switch the molding machine to Manual mode and close
the mold.
!
U
Be careful to note the position of the
ejector plate, the mold, the limit switch
and its cable, so the limit switch and/or
its cable does not get caught as the
mold opens and closes.
Step 2.
Set the limit switch on the tie-bar as shown in figures 26
and 27.
