6.0 Installation & Setup

6.0 Installation & Setup

6.1 Inspecting Shipment

This machine has been carefully packed to prevent damage during shipment. However, claims for damage or loss are the responsibility of the recipient. Inspect all shipments as soon as they are received. If there is any noticeable damage, note it on the freight bill. Visual and/or hidden damage must be reported to the claims department of the carrier within 15 days. Contact your dealer if you need any assistance. Check the contents of the box against the packing list on page 8. Make sure there are no missing items.

6.2 Uncrating

This machine is lagged to a wood skid and covered with a triple-walled corrugated container. Loosen the flaps of the carton where they are attached to the skid. When loose, the carton can be lifted straight up. Remove the side tables and accessory box, which are also attached to the skid. Place the cutter/skid about where the machine will be positioned and remove the lag screws from the skid.

6.3 Lifting/Moving Instructions

Unpacking, handling, and positioning should be done by professional riggers. If handling or unpacking is a problem, your dealer or a local trucking facility should be able to supply or recommend a qualified rigger. This 2550-lb/1157-kg machine should be moved with experienced people and the proper equipment. Do not risk personal injury or damage by attempting to move machinery with inadequate equipment or manpower.

Lifting straps may also be used to lift the machine by placing the straps around the front and rear of the table. When straps are used in this way, wood blocks must be placed beside the lead screw to prevent damage, (Figure 2). A bent lead screw will cause the backgauge to bind.

The backgauge should be positioned all the way to the front of the table and straps placed as close the machine body as possible. Gently lift the cutter, remove the skid and carefully place the cutter on the floor.

Once the machine is off its skid, it can be moved with a forklift or pallet jack from the front. DO NOT attempt to lift the machine from the sides or rear.

6.0 Installation & Setup

6.4 Cleaning

Wipe down the table and bare metal surfaces with a non-flammable solvent such as CRC or blanket wash. The table surface is cast iron, and it will rust if left unprotected. Coat the table with a nonabrasive wax. A Cutter Care Kit, p/n 16077, with cleaner and wax, is available through your Authorized Challenge Dealer. The protective film on the console may be removed. Never clean console with petroleum based solvents – damage will result.

6.5 Assembly

Unless otherwise specified, the only items that have been disassembled for shipping are the knife, extension tables, and reach-around shields on the electric eyes. Knife installation instructions are found in Section 8.0 Knife Installation/Changing. Extension table and reach-around shield attachment instructions are as follows:

NOTE: Extension tables are heavy. Use two people to attach them to the machine.

  1. Assemble the back plates to the extension tables. The extension table bolts and hex nuts are packed in the tool kit box. Install the back plates such that the half-circle notch at the top of the plates go toward the center of the cutter. These notches provide clearance for adjusting the lower knife gib bolt.
  2. One person should hold the extension table in position while the other aligns the holes and starts threading the mounting bolts with washers. The mounting bolts are shipped installed in the side of table- remove them to install tables.
  3. Use a 9/16” socket and extension to snug tighten the mounting bolts, then tap the extension table up or down with your hand or a rubber mallet until it is flush with the main table. Run a straight edge or sheet of paper over the seam to check the fit. Make sure your stock will not catch on the seam.
  4. Insert the leveling setscrews into the threaded holes next to the mounting bolts. You may have to loosen the mounting bolts slightly to allow enough play to level the table. After the extension tables are leveled and the surface joints even, tighten the mounting bolts securely.
  5. The extension tables are powder-coated and need only be wiped down with a dry cloth. DO NOT apply solvents or abrasive cleaners to extension table surfaces. They may cause discoloration or scratches.

NOTE: The reach-around shields for the electric eyes are in their shipping positions – follow the instructions below to secure them in their operational position.

  1. On the bottom of the electric eye housing, loosen (but do not remove) the screw furthest back (closet to the machine frame) on each side.
  2. On the bottom of the electric eye housing, loosen and remove the front two screws. Now rotate each shield back and to the side – away from of the cut area. Line up the front holes and re-install the front two screws. Tighten all screws (See the instruction sheet included in the shipping material for more details).

ATTENTION: FAILURE TO INSTALL THE REACH-AROUND SHIELDS COULD CAUSE A POTENTIAL CRUSH/LACERATION HAZZARD – THE SHIELDS ARE THERE FOR YOUR SAFETY.

6.0 Installation & Setup

6.6 Hydraulic Power Unit Removal

If installation requires that the machine pass through a doorway that is less than 49” but greater than or equal to 42” wide, the machine should have been ordered from Challenge “knocked down” with the table removed. If the machine must fit through a doorway that is less than 42” and greater than or equal to 24-1/2”, the hydraulic power unit must be removed on-site. To remove the hydraulic power unit, follow the instructions below.

  1. Disconnect the electrical conduits to the hydraulic motor, air blower, and hydraulic cooling fan, junction box.
  2. Remove the filler cap and use a transfer pump to remove the hydraulic fluid into buckets.
  3. Locate the hose that connects the manifold to the oil filter. Disconnect it from the filter. Disconnect the hydraulic pump hose from the manifold. Attach the hose that was connected to the manifold to the oil filter. Attach the hose that was connected to the filter to the manifold. This will minimize oil leakage. After the unit is installed, reconnect the hoses to their original location.
  4. Remove the (4) bolts that attach the hydraulic assembly to the cutter base. They are located at the bottom shelf the base.
  5. USE EXTREME CAUTION WHILE REMOVING THE POWER UNIT. It is very heavy and should be removed using a fork truck. CAUTION, the machine will be top heavy and may tip easily with the power unit removed. Move the reservoir through the doorway on its side.
  6. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LIFT THE CUTTER BY PLACING STRAPS OR THE FORKS OF A TRUCK UNDER THE CLAMP. This can damage the machine.
  7. Reinstall the power unit, conduits, hoses, after the machine is in position. Refill the hydraulic reservoir.

6.7 Hydraulic Check

The hydraulic reservoir is filled with 13-1/2 gallons of ISO VG 46 hydraulic oil at the factory. The fluid level should be checked during installation, and at least once per week during normal operation. The reservoir is located behind the cutter, beneath the table (Figure 3). Remove the filler cap to check the fluid level. The fluid level should be approximately 2” (5cm) from the top of the tank.

NOTE: DO NOT OVERFILL. Overfilling may cause leakage when the machine is hot.

6.0 Installation & Setup

6.8 Power Hook-Up

For satisfactory operation, be sure that your cutter is wired for the correct phase and voltage and has adequate power. The correct electrical specifications for your machine are shown on the serial plate. Check the machine serial plate before connecting the power. For future reference, transfer this information to the front cover of this manual.

Watch Setup Voltage- Inadequate power to the cutter can be a major source of problems. Too many machines on the same circuit will reduce the power to each machine. Inadequate voltage will cause overheating, loss of power, and in extreme cases, failure to operate. Test line voltage when the shop is at actual working levels. Challenge recommends a dedicated line with a lockable disconnect to provide adequate power for this machine.

CAUTION: SHOCK HAZARD! Always disconnect power at main power panel before working on the cutter. Lock it out to prevent accidental power up. (See Power Lockout Procedure page 5).

Important: You must have an adequate size circuit and heavy enough wiring for this machine. The circuit size should be a minimum of 20% greater than the amperage rating on the machine nameplate. If a wire is run over 75 feet (23 meters), the next size wire should be used. Check local electrical codes.

7.0 Operation

IMPORTANT:

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPERATE YOUR CUTTER UNTIL YOU HAVE THOROUGHLY READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL OF THE INSTRUCTIONS FOUND IN THE OPERATOR AND INSTRUCTION MANUALS INCLUDED WITH YOUR CUTTER. CALL YOUR AUTHORIZED CHALLENGE DEALER IF YOU STILL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.

Complete operating instructions for all TC Model paper cutters can be found in the TC Touch Screen Control Operating Instructions manual that was included with your machine (Figure 6). If you do not have a copy, or to download the latest version, visit: www.challengemachinery.com/support.

7.1 False Clamp Plate

To prevent marking on pressure sensitive jobs, a false clamp plate has been included (installed) with your machine. This plate attaches to the bottom of the clamp. It is secured from the front of the cutter with three set screws.

ALWAYS disconnect the power and LOCK IT OUT before installing or removing the false clamp plate. NEVER attempt to install or remove the false clamp plate while the machine is running. Remove all tools and stand clear when reconnecting power.

Page 17 of 127

Champion 305 TC 30.5" Programmable Paper Cutter User Manual, page 18
Text on page 18

To install:

  1. DISCONNECT THE POWER AND LOCK IT OUT! (See Power Lockout, page 5.)
  2. Position the false clamp plate under the clamp, (Figure 7). The locator pegs are positioned to the rear of the cutter and are set into holes in the bottom of the clamp.

1/8” Allen Wrench

Set Screws

Locator pegs

  1. With a 1/8" Allen wrench, back off the setscrews in front of the clamp and raise the plate up to the bottom of the clamp. It may be necessary to bring the clamp down onto a stack of paper with the foot pedal in order to access the far left setscrew. Raise the false clamp plate evenly or it will have a tendency to bind. When the plate has been raised into position and is flush with the bottom of the clamp, tighten the setscrews to hold the plate in position.
  2. Make sure that all tools have been taken off the cutter table, reconnect the power, and turn on the machine.

NOTE: The backgauge will not move to a position less than 2" (51 mm) when the false clamp plate is installed in the clamp.

When the false clamp plate is not in use, store it on top of the cutter, with the locator pegs inserted into the 3 holes in the top cover. There is a sensor inside one of these holes that detects when the false clamp plate is on top of the machine, thereby informing the machine that the false clamp plate is not installed in the clamp. This allows the backgauge to be positioned less than 2” (51 mm), which it will not do when the false clamp plate is installed in the clamp.

8.0 Knife Installation/Changing

Changing knives can be very dangerous unless safety precautions are observed and extreme care is taken when handling knives.

Make sure knife lifters are properly installed, see instructions following. Keep handling of unprotected knives to an absolute minimum. Clear off cutter table before removing knife. Have scabbard on cutter table and insert knife immediately. Warn people of any unprotected knife. Knife changing is a ONE PERSON OPERATION. Having more than one person trying to change knives invites accidents.

Figure 8 – Knife Changing Equipment

The knife changing equipment shown in Figure 8 is included in the cutter tool kit. The following instructions show how to remove and install a new or re-sharpened knife. Read these instructions AT LEAST ONCE before attempting to actually change or install any blades.

Text on page 20

8.1 Knife Removal

  1. Clear the cutter table. Place chipboard directly under the knife to prevent nicking if the blade hits the table. On the TC touch screen menu choose “MAINTENANCE” and then “KNIFE CHANGE”. Select “Knife Adjust Mode” then press and hold both cut buttons until the knife and clamp reach the table. Now release the buttons (the knife and clamp should stay down).
  2. DISCONNECT THE POWER AND LOCK IT OUT, (See Power Lockout Procedure on pg. 5).
  3. If equipped with the paper deflector option, lock it down by screwing the lock knob all the way in (Figure 10).

Lock Knob (Paper Deflector Option Only)

Figure 10 – Paper Deflector Locking Knob

  1. Back off the knife adjusting screws on the top of the knife bar, (Figure 11), as far as they will go (counter-clockwise). A new knife will cut deeper than a knife that has been ground several times. If the adjusters are not backed off, damage can result to the new knife and/or the cutting stick.

Adjusting Screws

Figure 11 – Knife Adjusting Screws

  1. Restore power to the machine and turn it ON. Follow the prompts on the screen to raise the knife and clamp.

Page 20 of 127

Champion 305 TC 30.5" Programmable Paper Cutter User Manual, page 21
Text on page 21
  1. DISCONNECT THE POWER AND LOCK IT OUT, (See Power Lockout Procedure on pg. 5).
  2. Remove the bolts in the two slotted holes of the knife bar and insert the knife lifter by screwing in the two knife lifter handles. Tighten the handles enough to hold the blade in place. Remove the remaining four bolts (Figure 12). The leftmost bolt must be removed while the knife bar is “UP”.
  3. Clear the table and put the empty knife scabbard on the table.

DANGER: Used knives are heavy and still very sharp. Be careful to keep the edge away from your body and keep other people out of the area while handling the blade. Severe lacerations and dismemberment could result from careless handling procedures.

  1. Grasp the knife lifter handles firmly while turning counterclockwise to release the knife from the knife bar. Slowly lower the knife down and to the right. Bring the left side out first.
  2. Place the knife with attached lifter on top of the scabbard. Remove the lifter and slide the knife into alignment with the scabbard screw holes. DO NOT FORGET TO INSTALL THE SCABBARD SCREWS!
  3. Send the dull knife to the grinder.

8.2 Knife Installation

  1. Use the cutting stick puller, (Figure 13), to remove the cutting stick. Turn the cutting stick to a new surface.

Page 21 of 127

Champion 305 TC 30.5" Programmable Paper Cutter User Manual, page 22
Text on page 22
  1. Check to make sure the paper deflector is locked down (Figure 10, page 19). Also check that the knife adjusting screws have been backed out, (Figure 11, page 19).
  2. Place the new knife scabbard on the cutter table.
  3. Remove the knife retainer screws.
  4. Place your fingers along the top edge of the scabbard and your thumbs in the holes in the knife.
  5. Pull the knife up in its scabbard until the bevel is exposed.
  6. Place the lifter on top of the knife and insert the knife lifter handles into the corresponding knife bolt holes (use the lowest holes) and thread the handles into the knife until they touch the scabbard. Then back the handles off 1/2 turn.
  7. Grasp the knife lifter handles, lift the blade, and insert the blade into the knife bar slot. Slowly guide the blade into the cutter right end first, then bring the left end in parallel to the knife bar. Raise the knife into the knife bar slot as high as it will go. Tighten the handles firmly to hold the knife. An installed lifter is shown in Figure 14 below.

NOTE: If the blade will not go in, either the handles are screwed into the blade too far or the blade is not centered over the table, and the end of the blade is hitting the end stop in the knife bar.

  1. Insert the rest of the knife bolts and washers, snug tighten them, but don’t tighten completely. Be sure all bolts have washers. The correct washers are important for proper bolt clearances!
  2. Remove the knife lifter and insert the remaining two bolts and washers and snug tighten.
  3. Place paper across the table to cover the cutting stick.
  4. Restore power to the machine and turn it ON. Follow the prompts on the screen to preset the backgauge. Then choose “MAINTENANCE” and then “KNIFE CHANGE”. Select “Knife Adjust Mode” then press and hold both cut buttons until the knife and clamp reach the table. Now release the buttons (the knife and clamp should stay down).
  5. DISCONNECT THE POWER AND LOCK IT OUT, (See Power Lockout Procedure on pg. 5).
  6. Turn the knife adjusters down (Figure 11, page 19) a little at a time, until the blade cuts through the paper evenly over the entire length of the stick. Be sure the blade is parallel to

Page 22 of 127

Champion 305 TC 30.5" Programmable Paper Cutter User Manual, page 23
Text on page 23

the cutting stick, or one end may cut deeper than the other, causing uneven wear on the stick.

  1. Tighten all the bolts and release the paper deflector.
  2. Restore power to the machine and turn it ON. Follow the prompts on the screen to raise the knife and clamp, and then to preset the backgauge.
  3. Make a test cut through a full lift of stock. Make minor adjustments by loosening the bolts and repeating steps 9 through 11.

NOTE: If the knife ends cut but the middle does not, you could have dips or uneven spots in either the knife or the cutting stick. These can be eliminated to some extent by laying 1/2" (13mm) strips of paper beneath the cutting stick to shim it up.

8.3 Knife Care Tips

! KNIFE SAFETY ! Knives are DANGEROUS!!! They are heavy and very sharp, even after use. Keep the edge away from your body and keep the area clear of others when handling knives. Never touch the cutting edge! To prevent personal injury and damage to the knife, always keep knives in their holders with screws tightened. You are aware of the dangers, but others may not be. Never attempt to hone, polish, or service the knife in any way. Failure to follow safety procedures may result in severe lacerations or dismemberment.

8.3.1 Knife Blade Life

Knife blade life, or the time between sharpenings, can be affected by many factors. One important factor is the type of paper being cut. Abrasive paper, such as recycled paper, soft paper such as newsprint paper, and bound books can all significantly shorten knife blade life. Also, if the knife depth is set too deep, the knife will cut too deep into the cutting stick and can dull the knife blade.

A knife can last between 2,000 and 5,000 cuts before it needs to be sharpened. Cutting soft paper (such as newsprint paper) or paper with high post-consumer recycled content can cause the knife to need sharpening after only 2,000 to 3,000 cuts. Cutting pure paper, such as bond paper with no recycled content, or hard paper can allow the knife to be used for as many as 5,000 cuts before it needs to be sharpened. In all cases, the operator should continually check the quality of the cut to determine when the knife blade needs to be sharpened. Some characteristics that indicate a blade needs sharpening are:

The knife hesitates or stalls while making a cut.

The sheets are not all cut to the same length (usually the top few sheets are longer than the rest of the sheets - this is sometimes called “draw”).

Cut marks appear on the cut face of the paper.

The profile of the cut (side view) is not perpendicular to the table.

The cut does not appear straight when viewed from the top.

The knife makes a “rougher” sound as it passes through paper.

Nicks are visible on the cutting edge of the knife.

Page 23 of 127

Champion 305 TC 30.5" Programmable Paper Cutter User Manual, page 24
Text on page 24

A worn cutting stick can affect the cut quality of the bottom sheets. When this happens, the cut stick can be rotated. Usually, the stick should be rotated one or two times between knife sharpenings.

There are 8 possible cut stick positions. The stick can be rotated 4 times, and then turned end to end, and rotated 4 times again.

Challenge recommends that bevel angles for the Champion 305 knives be in the range of 21° to 23°. In general, a 21° bevel angle will provide better cut quality when cutting soft paper (such as newsprint), recycled paper, or bound books. However, 21° angle knives can become dull sooner than 23° knives, which results in shorter knife blade life. A knife with a 23° bevel angle, on the other hand, will not dull as easily, and can provide satisfactory results when cutting most types of paper. Knives shipped with the Champion 305 from the factory have a bevel angle of 23°.

If your establishment is large enough to purchase more than one set of knives, have one set beveled at 21° and the other at 23°. Note: A set consists of 3 knives: one in the machine, one as a back up, and one at the grinder.

If the machine seems to strain but the cut quality is still good, reduce the pile height. You may also carefully apply glycerin to the bevel when cutting hard, coated paper. Tie a cloth to the end of a stick; dip the stick in glycerin, and apply. Never apply by hand! In lieu of glycerin you may lightly rub white bar soap along the bevel. Lubrication will prolong the life of your machine and reduce maintenance.

To prevent corrosion, knives are coated with light oil. It should be REMOVED WITH CARE.

While removing or installing a knife, be careful not to allow the edge to bump against the machine. Nicks will result.

If a knife bolt is damaged, replace it.

Always keep knife bolts securely tightened.

Always use the heavy-duty knife bolt washers provided by Challenge. Failure to do so could result in scratching or marring of the clamp face.

Store knives in a dry environment to prevent corrosion.

Never attempt to service a knife in any way.

9.0 Cleaning

9.1 Table

The table of a paper cutter requires periodic maintenance to remove surface oxidation. Polishing is also required to provide a smooth surface for paper to move freely. The frequency of this maintenance will be determined by a number of factors. Among these are the humidity, environmental dust, handprints, liquid spills, and type of paper stock. We recommend the use of the Challenge Cutter Care Kit P/N 16077 for of your table care needs.

To prepare a new machine’s table, follow the procedure below:

  1. Remove the rust-protective coating from the table with a solvent.
  2. Remove all solvent residue from the table with a dry cloth. Continue until the cloth shows no sign of residue.
  3. Apply a light coating of an SAE 10-weight non-detergent motor oil or equivalent to the table and allow it to penetrate for at least one hour.
  4. Remove all excess oil from the table with paper toweling (not cloth) until the paper towel you are using shows no sign of oil.
  5. Apply a paste wax (Challenge P/N 16078) to the table to seal the pores of the metal.

Note: Do not use a wax that contains a cleaning compound on the table. The cleaner contains microscopic abrasive particles that will cause wear between the table and the bottom of the backgauge. A silicone spray (Challenge P/N 16079) will show the same type of wear as the cleaner if the excess silicone is not removed. If the excess is not removed, the silicone spray has a substance that holds the silicone to the surface it is sprayed on that causes a black, gummy build-up under the backgauge. If a silicone spray is used, paper toweling must be used to remove the excess to prevent this wear and build-up.

To clean surface oxidation from a table, follow the procedure below:

  1. Spray “Rust-B-Gone” (Challenge P/N 16080) on the table and allow it to dissolve the rust. Then remove it with paper toweling. Or, pour a small quantity of SAE 10-weight motor oil onto the table. Using a Scotch-Brite Pad or a 400 grit sand paper, polish the table following the “grain” of the metal until all oxidation is removed to your satisfaction.
  2. Remove all of the oil from the table until the cloth you are using shows no sign of residue.
  3. Apply a light coating of an SAE 10-weight non-detergent motor oil or equivalent to the table and allow it to penetrate for at least one hour.
  4. Remove all excess oil from the table with paper toweling (not cloth) until the paper towel you are using shows no sign of oil.
  5. Apply a paste wax (Challenge P/N 16078) to the table to seal the pores of the metal.

Note: Do not use a wax that contains a cleaning compound on the table. The cleaner contains microscopic abrasive particles that will cause wear between the table and the bottom of the backgauge. A silicone spray (Challenge P/N 16079) will show the same type of wear as the

Text on page 27

cleaner if the excess silicone is not removed. If the excess is not removed, the silicone spray has a substance that holds the silicone to the surface it is sprayed on that causes a black, gummy build-up under the backgauge. If a silicone spray is used, paper toweling must be used to remove the excess to prevent this wear and build-up.

9.2 Console

The console should be cleaned with a mild water based detergent applied to a damp cloth or paper towel. Petroleum based solvents will damage the console.

9.3 Machine Frame

  1. The machine frame should be cleaned with a mild, water based detergent applied to a damp cloth.
  2. Always be careful when cleaning around safety warning labels. Use limited amounts of cleaners in those areas.

Champion 305 TC 30.5" Programmable Paper Cutter User Manual, page 28
Text on page 28

10.0 Lubrication

A clean, lubricated machine will cut more accurately, run longer, with less downtime, and fewer repairs.

Schedule lubrication maintenance both early in the day and early in the week. This allows the lubricants to work into the machine. Lubrication at the end of the day or week allows the lubricants to run off without any benefit to the machine.

Clean off dirty, excess grease. Clean accumulated dust off valves, hoses, and connections. Dust build-up increases operating temperatures and causes premature wear of all hydraulic components.

Oil and grease WEEKLY as described below.

When necessary, send the knife down by choosing “MAINTENANCE” and then “KNIFE CHANGE” on the TC touch screen. Select “Knife Adjust Mode” then press and hold both cut buttons until the knife and clamp reach the table. Now release the buttons (the knife and clamp should stay down).

DISCONNECT THE POWER AND LOCK IT OUT, (See Power Lockout Procedure on pg. 5).

Most moving parts require lubrication. Remove all panel covers and look for all oil locations (marked with red paint). Make sure oil holes are not plugged and lubricate with a 30 weight oil. See the photos below for critical locations (not all locations are illustrated here). Notice that some are oil locations and some are grease points. Wipe off old and excess grease. Use a National Lubricating Grease Institute No. 2 consistency, extreme pressure grease.

Replace all guards before operating. Never operate cutter with any

11.0 Hydraulic System

The Champion Series Cutters have both hydraulic cutting and hydraulic clamping operation. The cutter is powered by an electric motor coupled directly to a hydraulic pump. The pump has a fixed flow rate output of 5 GPM at 1,800 psi (max. system relief setting) at 1,800 RPM.

The clamp action is powered by a hydraulic cylinder. When the cut buttons are depressed, this cylinder pulls on the clamp bell crank and brings the clamp down (or brings the clamp up to full hydraulic pressure if the manual foot clamp is down). The cutting action is also powered by a hydraulic cylinder connected directly to the knife bar. The knife sequence valve generates 1,600 PSI of back pressure throughout the system to maintain full clamp pressure during the cut. One advantage of the hydraulics is the immediate return of the knife when the cut buttons are released.

The hydraulic fluid should be changed YEARLY or EVERY 1,000 HOURS of operation.

The oil filter (Challenge part H-227-1) should be changed YEARLY or whenever any repairs are made to the hydraulic system.

NOTE: Failure to change the oil and filter when needed can damage the seals in the clamp and knife cylinders.

Check the level of the hydraulic reservoir WEEKLY or whenever the machine sounds like it is laboring (this could be due to low oil level). The fluid level should be approximately 2" (5cm) from the top of the tank. DO NOT OVERFILL. Overfilling may cause leakage when the machine is hot.

The hydraulic tank, fan, manifold, and fittings should be wiped off WEEKLY to maintain maximum cooling of the tank/hydraulic oil.

11.1 Recommended Hydraulic Oil

Use only ISO (International Standards Organization) Viscosity Grade 46, rust, oxidation, and foam inhibiting, non-detergent hydraulic oil. Oils other than the recommended type will cause seals, cups, and O-rings to deteriorate. The proper hydraulic oil can be purchased in 5 gallon containers from your authorized Challenge Dealer using the Challenge part number: S-1991-3.

NEVER USE Automatic transmission oil or brake fluid as a substitute! Oils other than the recommended type will cause seals, cups, and O-rings to deteriorate. Unsafe operations conditions will result.

11.2 Changing the Oil

Only change oil when it is cold. Burns could result from changing hot oil.

Before beginning, you will need (3) empty five gallon buckets, three oil pans or more, a funnel and an assistant. If oil is hot, wait until it cools.

  1. Make sure main power to the machine is off.
  2. Remove the reservoir tank cover (Figure 21).

Page 31 of 127

Champion 305 TC 30.5" Programmable Paper Cutter User Manual, page 32
Text on page 32

Reservoir Tank Cover

Hydraulic Tank

  1. Using a hand drill and transfer pump commonly found at hardware and home improvement stores, transfer the used oil to empty containers.
  2. Remove the magnet stuck to the bottom of the tank. Clean off any debris that may be attached to it.
  3. With a clean rag, wipe out any visible debris remaining in the tank.
  4. Place the magnet at the location from which it was removed.
  5. Replace the oil filter. Place a thin film of new hydraulic oil on the seal of the new filter to insure a proper seal. Firmly hand-tighten the filter onto the filter head.
  6. Using the transfer pump, fill the tank with 13.5 gallons of the recommended fluid (See Section 11.1 - Recommended Hydraulic Oil) until the fluid level is approximately 2" (5cm) from the top of the tank. DO NOT OVERFILL. Overfilling may cause leakage when the machine is hot.
  7. Re-install the tank cover with gasket.
  8. Before turning on the machine, make sure all hydraulic hose fittings are tight.
  9. Turn on main power to the machine. Turn on the hydraulic motor by pressing both cut buttons once. Inspect the hydraulic system for leaks. If leaks are found, turn off main power to the machine and tighten any leaking fittings.

11.3 Hydraulic Valve Adjustments

Several of the following tests require the machine to be operational for checking and adjusting. Be very careful that tools and other people are clear of moving parts and that the cutter is not accidentally operated while adjustments are being made. Disconnect the power and lock it out, (see Safety Precautions, page 5) whenever working on the machine unless the directions specifically require the machine to be powered.

NOTE: Pressure settings fluctuate with oil temperature. Set pressures when the oil is hot.

Clamp Up Sequence Valve

Knife Down Sequence Valve

  1. Main System Relief Valve (Figure 22) – 1,800 psi

This valve maintains the overall hydraulic pressure for the entire system. Factory setting: 1,800 psi.

To Check:

  1. Open the left access door on front of the cutter.

Page 33 of 127

Champion 305 TC 30.5" Programmable Paper Cutter User Manual, page 34
Text on page 34
  1. Turn the power on and make a cut to hold the knife down on the cutting stick. Read the pressure on the main system pressure gauge (front gauge) while the knife is down. If the gauge does not read 1,800 psi, an adjustment is needed. In order to have more time to read the gauge, it may be helpful to send the knife down using the “Knife Change” feature found in the Maintenance pull-down menu.

To Adjust:

  1. Loosen the lock nut on the relief valve. Use an Allen wrench to turn the adjusting screw. Turn clockwise to increase pressure, counter-clockwise, to decrease pressure.
  2. Make a cut and hold the buttons in. Or send the knife down using the “Knife Change” feature found in the Maintenance pull-down menu. Adjust the valve screw until you have the correct pressure.

Tighten the lock nut while holding the hex wrench in place.

  1. Knife Down Sequence Valve (Figure 23) – 1,600 psi

This valve controls the clamp and knife sequence. It keeps the knife up until after the clamp has made contact. It is located near the lower port of the knife cylinder. Factory Setting: 1600 psi.

NOTE: Main System Pressure must be set at 1,800 psi before making this adjustment.

To Check:

  1. Open the left access door on front of the cutter.
  2. Press the cut buttons while reading the pressure on the main system pressure gauge (front gauge). The gauge should read approximately 1,600 psi as the knife is moving down (when bottomed, the gauge will jump to 1,800 psi showing the Main System Relief Pressure previously set).

To adjust:

  1. Remove the lower rear cover.
  2. Loosen the lock nut. Note: This lock nut also serves as a seal. Some hydraulic fluid may leak out while it is loose.

Make a cut and hold the buttons in. While reading the main system gauge, adjust the valve until you have the correct pressure. Clockwise to increase, counter-clockwise to decrease.

d. Tighten the lock nut while holding the hex wrench in place.

3. Clamp Up Sequence Valve (Figure 22) – 400-600 psi

This valve maintains clamp pressure so the clamp remains down until the knife has stopped in the up position. Factory setting: 400-600 psi.

To Check:

  1. Open the left access door of the cutter.

Page 34 of 127

Champion 305 TC 30.5" Programmable Paper Cutter User Manual, page 35
Text on page 35
  1. Press the cut buttons, and while reading the pressure on the main gauge (front gauge), release them. The gauge should read between 400-600 psi as the clamp is going up. There should be no clamp movement until the knife is stopped in the up position.

To Adjust:

  1. Remove the protective cap and loosen the lock nut on the clamp up sequence valve.
  2. Make a cut, then release the buttons. Read the main gauge as the clamp is returning. Adjust the valve for a reading of 400-600 psi.

Tighten the lock nut while holding the hex wrench in place and replace the protective cap.

  1. Electronic Clamp Pressure Setting (TC Console) – 400min/1,400max psi

The electronic clamping control allows the convenience of changing the clamp pressure at the control console, as well as the ability to program different clamp pressure settings within programmed jobs. The clamp pressure is controlled by use of a slide bar on the TC touch screen located at the lower left corner of the screen. A number between 0 and 15 will be displayed, indicating the current pressure setting (0 being the lowest, 15 the highest). To adjust the actual clamp pressures at the minimum (0) and maximum (15) settings, follow the procedure below:

Adjustment of the Electronic Valve:

  1. On the TC touch screen, select the Maintenance pull-down menu then choose Setup. Then select the Service Info tab, and in the box for Enable Tabs Code, enter 6125. Now select the Hydraulic Settings tab. The screen should look similar to Figure 24 below:

  1. To set the maximum pressure, first make sure the correct slide bar is “active” by touching the appropriate slider button. Now press both cut buttons, and after the clamp has contacted the table and while the knife bar is coming down, read the pressure on the right hand pressure gauge. It should be set at 1,400 psi. If not, adjust the maximum clamp pressure slider button higher or lower and re-check the clamp pressure reading on the gauge. Repeat until the pressure is properly set at 1,400 psi.

To set the minimum pressure, first make sure the correct slide bar is “active” by touching the appropriate slider button. Now press both cut buttons, and after the clamp has contacted the table and while the knife bar is coming down, read the pressure on the right hand pressure gauge. It should be set at 400 psi. If not, adjust the minimum clamp pressure slider button higher or lower and re-check the clamp pressure reading on the gauge. Repeat until the pressure is properly set at 400 psi.

  1. To adjust the directional valve shift delay, first make sure the correct slide bar is “active” by touching the appropriate slider button. Start with the slider button somewhere near the middle. Make a cut and watch the motion of the knife bar. If the knife bar hesitates at the bottom of its stroke, decrease the delay by moving the slider button to the left. If you hear an unusual “clunk” sound when the knife reaches the bottom of its stroke, increase the delay by moving the slider button to the right.
  2. The knife cushion value is applicable to Titan 265 cutters only. Changing this setting on Champion 305 cutters has no effect.

When finished, press Save and Exit.

12.0 Adjustments

Several of the following tests require the machine to be operational for checking and adjusting. Be very careful that tools and other people are clear of moving parts and that the cutter is not accidentally operated while adjustments are being made. Whenever working on the machine, disconnect the power and lock it out (see SAFETY PRECAUTIONS, page 5) unless the directions specifically require the machine to be powered.

12.1 Electric Eye Alignment

If the electric eyes are not in alignment, or if they become out of alignment during a cut cycle due to vibration, the machine will see them as blocked and will cease any downward motion.

To check if the electric eyes are aligned properly, turn on the power switch and look at the indicator light pattern on the receiver (left hand unit). If the eyes are functioning properly and aligned properly, and if there are no obstructions, the light pattern will look like the one shown in Figure 25 below.

Status (Green = OK) (Red = Problem)

Zone Indicators (Green = Clear/Aligned) (Red = Blocked/Misaligned)

Figure 25 – Electric Eye Indicator Lights

To simulate the vibration caused by a normal cut cycle, gently tap on the electric eye housings one at a time with your hand. Watch the indicator lights to see if any of them change.

If the status light or any of the zone indicator lights are red, this indicates an obstruction. However if there are no physical obstructions blocking the eye beams, then most likely the electric eyes are out of alignment. To adjust:

  1. Remove the inner housing covers from both eye housings.
  2. Loosen the outer mounting screws (Figure 26) to adjust the eye beam units until they are aligned over their length.

Page 37 of 127

Champion 305 TC 30.5" Programmable Paper Cutter User Manual, page 38
Text on page 38

Outer Mounting Screws

Inner Mounting Screws

  1. Loosen the inner mounting screws (Figure 26) to rotate the beams until they are aligned over their width. When the indicator lights indicate proper alignment as shown in Figure 25, tighten all screws.
  2. Replace the inner housing covers and re-check the alignment as indicated above.

12.2 Backgauge Gib Adjustment

If the backgauge does not stay squared or jumps up and down when jogging paper against it, the backgauge gib screws are probably loose or worn. Position the backgauge approximately 2” (50- 55mm) from the rear of the table and turn off power.

Remove the rear table cover. From the back, hold each end of the backgauge and try pulling one end while pushing the other to rock it side to side. If there is noticeable side-to-side play in the backgauge, the gibs will need adjusting. Check for play at various positions on the table, (Figure 27). Note: there will be some front to rear movement between the backgauge nut and screw.

The backgauge has two gibs that ride on an iron rail underneath the table, (Figure 28). These are adjusted with setscrews, which are held in position with jam nuts.

Page 38 of 127

Champion 305 TC 30.5" Programmable Paper Cutter User Manual, page 39
Text on page 39

Set Screws & Jam Nuts

To adjust:

  1. Run the backgauge back to 28” (711mm) and disconnect the power.
  2. Always adjust the side gib first. Loosen all jam nuts and adjusting screws then tighten the front and rear screws.
  3. Pull each end of the backgauge and try to rock it side to side as before to check for play.
  4. Continue to adjust these two screws until there is no play.
  5. Lock the screws in place with the jam nuts.
  6. Snug up the middle two screws and lock in place with the jam nuts.
  7. Snug up the bottom gib adjusting screws finger tight and lock in place with the jam nuts.
  8. Run the backgauge back and forth to make sure it does not bind. Readjust if necessary.
  9. Replace the rear table cover.
  10. Check the backgauge squareness.

12.3 Squaring the Backgauge

To test the backgauge for squareness, place a small lift of paper against the left side of the backgauge (but not against the side guide) and make a cut.

PAPER

Now, leave the backgauge in the same position, flip the lift over and against the right side of the backgauge (but not against the side guide). Make another cut to see if any of the stock will trim off. Run two checks, one starting on the left and moving to the right, the other, moving from the right to the left. Trim in either sequence indicates the backgauge is out of square.

Page 39 of 127

Champion 305 TC 30.5" Programmable Paper Cutter User Manual, page 40
Text on page 40

To adjust squareness:

  1. As machine wears, make sure the backgauge gibs are set properly first (see previous section). Then follow steps 2 through 5.

NOTE: Gib adjustment is not necessary on initial machine setup because they have been adjusted at the factory.

  1. Remove the rear table cover.
  2. Loosen the backgauge locking screw, then loosen the jam nuts on the backgauge squaring screws (Figure 30) .

Locking Screw

  1. Back off the squaring screw slightly on the side that the trim occurred, then turn in the other squaring screw until tight.
  2. With both squaring screws tight, make another test. Continue to adjust and test until no trim occurs when testing in either sequence.
  3. Tighten the jam nuts and lock screw.
  4. Replace rear table cover.

NOTE: Once the backgauge is square, restore power to the machine and check the backgauge accuracy to make sure it is accurate (see next section).

12.4 Backgauge Position Accuracy Adjustment

If the backgauge position readout does not match the actual measurement between the knife and the backgauge, the cutter must be re-calibrated.

The accuracy can be checked by comparing cut sheets of paper. This process is described below.

NOTE: The backgauge gibs should be adjusted and the backgauge squared before attempting to adjust accuracy.

  1. Place a 1/4 to 1/2 inch (5 to 13mm) pile of 8-1/2 X 11 (A4) paper against the center of the backgauge.
  2. Trim cut lengthwise and rotate 180 0 . Using the backgauge position readout, bring the paper up to the 10" (254mm) position and make a cut. Move the backgauge up to 5" (127mm) and make another cut.

Page 40 of 127

Champion 305 TC 30.5" Programmable Paper Cutter User Manual, page 41
Text on page 41
  1. Take several sheets from the center of each lift and compare them to each other. The encoder system on your cutter will space accurately between your 10” (254mm) and 5" (127mm) cuts, whether the overall accuracy is correct or not. The stack of paper between the 10” (254mm) and 5" (127mm) cuts will be a true 5", but the paper left against the backgauge will not- if the backgauge position readout is off.
  2. If the backgauge position readout is off, you will have to adjust the accuracy. On the TC touch screen console, select Maintenance, then Setup. Then select the Service Info tab and in the box for Enable Tabs Code, enter 6125. Now select the Accuracy Adjust tab and follow the instructions on the screen. You will be asked to cut a sample pile, measure it, and then key in the actual measured value. Press Save and Exit when finished.
  3. Run the backgauge back several inches, then bring it forward through the 3.750" (95 mm) preset dimension, then repeat steps 1-3 again.

12.5 Knife Latch Adjustment

The knife latch prevents the knife edge from drifting down while the machine is not in operation. The knife latch height must be set properly in order for the machine to function properly and to prevent the knife blade edge from becoming exposed.

Failure to adjust the knife latch properly could result in the knife blade edge being exposed at times other than normal operation. Serious injury could result.

Follow these instructions to adjust:

  1. Make sure the knife is all the way up and has not drifted down by performing a cut cycle.
  2. Turn the machine off and lock out power, see page 5.
  3. Loosen the two screws on top of the control console and tilt down the console. Locate the knife latch assembly inside the machine.
  4. Check the gap as shown in Figure 31. The gap should be .030” (.8 mm) to .060” (1.5 mm).

Adjustment

Figure 31 – Knife Latch

  1. If the gap is out of range, adjust the knife latch height by loosening the mounting screws (Figure 31) and move the knife latch assembly up or down until the gap is in the correct range of .030” (.8 mm) to .060” (1.5 mm).

Page 41 of 127

Champion 305 TC 30.5" Programmable Paper Cutter User Manual, page 42
Text on page 42
  1. Tighten the mounting screws.
  2. Tilt the control console back up and secure it with the two screws. Restore power to the machine and perform a cut cycle. Recheck the gap to make sure it is still within the correct range.
  3. Also make sure that the distance between the knife blade edge and the bottom surface of the clamp is greater than the knife latch gap. This ensures that if the knife were to drift down and hang on the knife latch, the knife blade edge will not be exposed.
  4. Once the knife latch is adjusted properly and the mounting screws are tight, tilt the control console back up into place and secure it with the two screws.

12.6 Line Light Adjustment (Incandescent Type)

S/N’s: 1509999 and below, S/N's: 305-J-151075 and below

The line light comes on whenever main power is turned to the ON position and stays on until the machine goes into sleep mode. Light reaches the table after passing between the knife and clamp, (Figure 32).

Figure 32 – L.H. Cut-Away Side View

Each light is focused with a socket head cap screw recessed into the arch, directly behind the console, (Figure 33).

Page 42 of 127

Text on page 43

To adjust line light:

  1. Let the console down by removing the two screws at the top.
  2. Place a wide sheet(s) of paper on the cut stick to view the line.
  3. Using a 3/16” hex wrench, turn one of the cap screws until you see a 1/16-1/8” beam.
  4. Similarly, turn the adjustment screw of the other bulb until one, continuous beam is seen across the paper on the table.

Bulb replacement:

  1. DISCONNECT THE POWER AND LOCK IT OUT! (See Power Lockout procedure, page 5)
  2. Lower the console.
  3. Remove the old bulb by lightly pushing bulb into the socket and turning it counter-clockwise. CAUTION!- If the bulb is still hot, allow a few minutes to cool before changing.
  4. Insert the new bulb into the socket and twist clockwise until the bulb locks into place.
  5. Reattach the console.
  6. Reconnect the power and turn ON.
  7. If necessary, adjust the line as above.
  8. Unless the cutter will be operated immediately, turn the power off.

12.7 Line Light Adjustment (LED Type)

S/N's: 305-J-151076 and above

The line light comes on whenever main power is turned to the ON position and stays on until the machine goes into sleep mode. Light reaches the table after passing between the knife and clamp, (Figure 34).

Figure 34 – L.H. Cut-Away Side View

Text on page 44

To adjust line light:

  1. Place a wide sheet(s) of paper on the cut stick to view the line.
  2. Open and tilt the front control console down by removing the two screws at the top of the console.
  3. Locate the two screws that attach the LED line light board to the mounting brackets and loosen but do not remove them (Figure 34).
  4. Slide the LED line light board forward or back until you see a single, continuous, 1/16-1/8” wide beam across the paper on the table.

12.8 Proximity Switches

These tests require the machine to be operational for checking and adjusting. Be very careful that tools and other people are clear of moving parts and that the cutter is not accidentally operated while adjustments are being made.

Challenge Champion cutters incorporate proximity switches to detect stages of operation. These types of limit switches have no moving parts and are more reliable than the old style of contact switches.

NOTE: Adjust the switches in the following order:

  1. Knife Up/Down Limit Switches
  2. Hydraulic Up Limit Switch
  3. Clamp Up Limit Switch

CRUSH HAZARD! When the limit switch is actuated, the clamp will return to the up position. Keep hands and tools clear.

  1. Knife Up/Down Proximity Switches

The Knife Up and Knife Down Proximity switches are mounted to a bracket that is attached to the Knife Cylinder (Figure 35).

Page 44 of 127

Champion 305 TC 30.5" Programmable Paper Cutter User Manual, page 45
Text on page 45

With the power off, set the collar between the proximity switches and then turn on power. Press cut buttons once to turn on the hydraulic motor. The knife will move to the absolute top of its stroke. Move the collar to the top proximity switch until LED turns on, then move it an additional 1/4” higher and tighten its setscrew. An indicator light on the switch body comes on when the switch is actuated (proximity switches must be within 1/8” (3.2mm) to actuate). Send the knife down using the “Knife Change” feature found in the Maintenance pull-down menu. Check the distance between the proximity switch and the actuator.

  1. Hydraulic Up Proximity Switch

The Hydraulic Up Proximity Switch is mounted on the lower left rear of the machine frame (Figure 36).

Hyd. Up Proximity Switch

An indicator light on the switch body comes on when the switch is actuated (proximity switches must be within 1/8” (3.2mm) to actuate). The switch senses the extension of the clamp cylinder at the top of its stroke. This stops hydraulic power to the clamp and knife. If the switch is not properly set, the knife and clamp cylinders will be under constant load (indicated by excessive heat and noise).

To adjust:

  1. Loosen the bottom lock nut and turn the top lock nut down to raise the switch.
  2. Turn on the machine and press the cut buttons once to start the hydraulic motor.

The knife and clamp will move to the extreme up position and a load will remain on the hydraulics.

d. When the cylinder has stopped moving, pass a metal object in front of the switch to actuate it and take the load off the hydraulics. Keeping pressure on the switch to hold it against its mounting bracket, turn the lock nut up to lower the switch until the indicator light in the switch comes on. Tighten the lower jam nut.

e. Press the cut buttons to cycle the clamp and check clamp position.

3. Clamp Up Proximity Switch

The Clamp Up Proximity Switch is mounted inside the upper rear cover on the back of the frame (Figure 37).

Page 45 of 127

Champion 305 TC 30.5" Programmable Paper Cutter User Manual, page 46
Text on page 46

Clamp Up Proximity Switch

This switch senses when the clamp is in the up position and prevents backgauge movement if the clamp is not up. It also diverts the air from the table when the clamp is down to prevent the stock from moving during a cut. This switch is actuated by a actuator on the top of the clamp. The switch must be adjusted to within 1/8” (3.2mm) of the actuator. The actuator must be adjusted such that the switch shuts off soon after the clamp starts downward travel.

12.9 Clamp Return Speed Adjustment

The clamp return speed can be adjusted if it becomes too sluggish or too fast. This adjustment is made on the air cylinder that is attached to the clamp. To make this adjustment, first remove the upper rear cover. Then loosen the locking nut on the upper flow control valve on the air cylinder (Figure 38) and turn the adjustment knob clockwise to decrease the return speed of the clamp or counter-clockwise to increase the return speed of the clamp. The clamp should be adjusted such that it returns fast but does not bounce at the top of the stroke. Tighten the locking nut when finished.

Upper Flow Control Valve

12.10 Pre-Clamp Pressure Adjustment

The pre-clamp feature of the Champion 305 uses low-pressure pneumatics to bring the clamp down prior to making a cut. The system pressure is set at the factory and allows for safe and proper operation of the clamp. It should not be necessary to adjust unless the clamp does not come down all the way to the table after pressing the foot pedal. If this is the case follow these instructions to adjust:

  1. Open the lower left front door and locate the pneumatic pressure adjustment knob (Figure 39).

Page 46 of 127

Champion 305 TC 30.5" Programmable Paper Cutter User Manual, page 47
Text on page 47

Adjustment Knob

  1. Loosen jam nut.
  2. Increase the pressure by turning the valve clockwise until the clamp is able to travel down to the table completely when pressing the foot pedal switch.
  3. Check to make sure the force under the clamp does not exceed 66 lbs (30 kg). A scale, such as a bathroom scale, should be used to measure this. If the force exceeds 66 lbs (30 kg), decrease the pressure by turning the valve clockwise until the force is below 66 lbs (30 kg).
  4. Tighten the jam nut on the pressure control valve.
  5. Close and lock lower left door.

12.11 Pre-Clamp Speed Adjustment

The clamp down speed (when pre-clamping using the foot pedal) can be adjusted if it becomes too sluggish or too fast. This adjustment is made on the air cylinder that is attached to the clamp. To make this adjustment, first remove the upper rear cover. Then loosen the locking nut on the lower flow control valve on the air cylinder (Figure 40) and turn the adjustment knob clockwise to decrease the down speed of the clamp or counter-clockwise to increase the down speed of the clamp. Tighten the locking nut when finished.

12.12 Clamp Cylinder Adjustment (Clamp Height)

If the clamp piston bottoms in the cylinder before the clamp makes contact with the table, or if the clamp does not make full travel on the up stroke, the clamp cylinder may need adjustment.

To adjust:

  1. Turn on machine. Start the hydraulic motor by pressing both cut buttons simultaneously. Turn off the machine.
  2. DISCONNECT THE POWER AND LOCK IT OUT! (See Power Lockout procedure, page 5).
  3. Loosen the jam nut (Figure 41).

Clamp Cylinder

  1. Use the flats on the clamp cylinder shaft to turn the shaft into or out of the clevis as required, (in decreases, out increases height). The clamp should be set to 4” above the table.
  2. Retighten the jam nut securely.

12.13 Clamp Parallel Rod

If the clamp is not parallel with the table:

  1. DISCONNECT THE POWER AND LOCK IT OUT! (See Power Lockout procedure, page 5.)
  2. Loosen the jam nuts on each end of the clamp connecting rod, (Figure 42). (Note: the left jam nut has left hand threads.)

  1. Using the flats on the right hand end of the connecting rod, (Figure 42), turn the connecting rod to align the clamp with the table. Place a long strip of paper under each end of the clamp. Push the cut buttons and when the clamp contacts the table, attempt to pull the strips out. The clamp should be adjusted so neither strip pulls out.
  2. Retighten the jam nuts securely.

12.14 Lead Screw Adjustment Nuts

If play is noted in the rear pillow block and thrust bearings, take up the play in the adjustment nuts as follows:

  1. Remove the backgauge motor cover.
  2. Loosening the lead screw jam nuts (Figure 43).
  3. Snug up the inner nut to eliminate any play.
  4. Tighten the nuts against each other.
  5. Check the socket head bolts in the pillow block to make sure they are also tight.

12.15 Knife Bar Gibs

The knife bar gibs are two steel-backed UHMW plates located near the left and right ends of the knife bar that press on the knife bar’s front surface as it travels up and down. If adjusted too tight the knife may not come down smoothly and/or scoring may occur which could damage the knife bar and gibs. If too loose, you could get uneven or inaccurate cuts.

There are three socket set screws with jam nuts located on each side of the cutter’s frame that are used to adjust the gibs (Figure 44). These should be adjusted only when the knife bar is directly behind the screws being tightened.

To adjust:

  1. Start the machine and make a cut. When the knife is half way down, have someone turn off the machine. The knife bar should be stopped half way across the gibs.
  2. Loosen all (6) jam nuts on the gib adjusting screws and back the screws out 1/2 turn.
  3. Adjust center (2) screws until snug, not tight, in order to eliminate the air gap between the knife bar and gib. Then tighten those (2) jam nuts.
  4. Turn on the machine and send the knife all the way down using the “Knife Change” feature found in the Maintenance pull-down menu. Turn off the machine.
  5. Adjust the bottom two screws the same way the middle screws were adjusted. Tighten the jam nuts.
  6. Turn on the machine. The knife should return to the up position. Shut the machine off.
  7. Adjust the upper (2) gib adjusting screws and tighten the jam nuts.
  8. Turn the power back on and cycle the knife several times. Recheck the gibs (repeat steps 2-6 as necessary).
  9. Don’t over-tighten the gibs.
  10. If the knife bar and gibs get scored, remove only the burrs by scraping and then sanding smooth.

13.0 Repair and Replacement

13.1 Fuses

FIRE HAZARD. Replace only with same type and rating fuse.

Some Champion models have a set of fuses. The fuses are located inside the main power box, (Figure 45). Check the label on the inside of the lower right door for correct ratings for these fuses. Labels can be reproduced using the drawings at the back of this manual if the labels on the cover ever become damaged or illegible.

13.2 Knife Cylinder Replacement

Replacing the Knife Cylinder:

  1. Remove the knife from the cutter (see Knife, Installation and Set Up).
  2. Place a 3” (60mm) lift of paper under the clamp only to hold it up and out of the way of the knife bar. Then place a 3’ (1 meter) long 2x4 board flat side down under the right end of the knife bar. This will be used for leverage on the knife bar when removing and reinstalling the knife bar pin.
  3. Lock the clamp and knife down by following instructions in the Operator Controls section for your particular model of machine.
  4. Turn off the main power disconnect switch. DISCONNECT POWER AND LOCK IT OUT! See page 5.

Loosen connections slowly to bleed off any trapped pressure!

  1. Place a pan underneath the cylinder and gradually loosen and remove the hydraulic hose connections (Figure 46). Loosen the connections slowly to bleed off any trapped pressure.

E-Ring (Both Ends)

Clevis Pin with 1/4-20 Threaded Hole

Proximity Switch Actuator

Proximity Switch Bracket

Hose Connections

Sequence Valve Assembly

  1. Remove the clevis pin out of the knife bar and clevis by first removing the front E-style retaining ring on the pin (Figure 46). The pin has a 1/4-20 tapped hole in it to aid removal of the pin out of the knife bar and clevis. It may also be helpful to use the pry board to block up the knife bar, releasing pressure from the pin to make it easier to remove.
  2. Now, remove the pin keeper on the lower pin (Figure 46, previous page). Then carefully tap the pin out of the cylinder.
  3. Remove the old cylinder. With the shaft of the old cylinder bottomed out, note the dimension between the top of the cylinder body and the bottom of the cylinder clevis. Also note the approximate position of the proximity switch actuator. Transfer the proximity switch bracket, proximity switch actuator, clevis, clevis jam nut, and hydraulic sequence valve assembly onto the new cylinder and insert it into position on the cutter.
  4. Reinstall the lower pin and pin keeper.
  5. Install the clevis pin to connect the cylinder to the knife bar and replace the retaining rings.
  6. The cylinder shaft can be threaded into the clevis to adjust the position of the knife bar. When properly adjusted, the distance from the top of the knife bar recess to the table with the knife in the down position should measure 4-1/8” (103mm), (Figure 47).

16.0 Safety System Tests

16.0 Safety System Tests

CHALLENGE

Frequency of test: THESE TESTS SHOULD BE PERFORMED AT THE BEGINNING OF EACH WORK DAY.

Turn on the cutter and start the hydraulic motor (see operator’s manual for instructions). Enable the electric eye safety system.

Test #1: Using a 12 mm wide test piece, check the object detection capability of the electric eye system. Do this by waving the test piece throughout the electric eye beam area. The steady green and steady orange lights on the emitter side (RH) should change to steady red and flashing orange.

Test #2: Press both cut buttons to begin a cut cycle. During the downward motion of the knife or clamp, lean into the path of the electric eye beams. The downward motion of the knife and clamp should stop immediately, and the knife and clamp should return to the up position.

If the machine fails either test, DO NOT use machine. Repair or adjust is necessary.

Please enter date and initials for both tests (make copies of this form if necessary).

Quick start

  1. Inspect the shipment and report any damage to the carrier within 15 days. Lift the carton straight up, remove the side tables and accessory box, and take out the skid lag screws.
  2. Have professional riggers move the 2,550 lb (1,157 kg) cutter. If lifting with straps around the table, block beside the lead screw so it does not bend. Move it with a forklift or pallet jack from the front only.
  3. Clean the cast iron table with a non-flammable solvent such as CRC or blanket wash, then coat it with a nonabrasive wax so it does not rust.
  4. Attach the back plates to the extension tables, then bolt the tables on (two people) with a 9/16" socket. Level them flush with the main table using the leveling setscrews and tighten.
  5. Move the electric-eye reach-around shields from their shipping position to the operating position. Do not run the cutter without them.
  6. Install the knife following Section 8.0 of the manual before cutting.

Troubleshooting

ProblemLikely causeFix (from the manual)
Cutter won't startBlown fuse or tripped breaker, defective starter, loose plug or wire, or defective cut buttonCheck fuses, the breaker and connections, and check the error codes. Lock the power off before working on the machine. Page 54
Machine shuts off when the cut buttons are pushedKnife and clamp out of sequence, clamp or knife up limit switch problem, or defective circuit boardTurn the power off and back on. Check the clamp and knife up limit switches. If cutting a full pile, adjust the clamp up limit switch or reduce the pile height. Page 54
Cut buttons activated but the cutter won't cutDefective cut button, motor wired backwards, defective pilot check, sequence valve pressure too high, inoperative down solenoid, misadjusted knife up limit switch, defective circuit board, or blocked electric eyesCheck that the electric eyes are clear and aligned and that the motor turns in the direction of its arrow sticker. Have a technician check the cut buttons, valves, limit switch and circuit board. Page 54
Erratic operation or power lossLow hydraulic oil, debris in the relief valve, defective pump, or oil bypassing the clamp cylinder sealsCheck the hydraulic oil level first, then have the relief valve, pump and clamp cylinder seals inspected. Page 54
Clamp won't operateBind in the linkage or gibs, clamp pressure reducer valve set too low, defective high pressure solenoid, relief valve or clamp return springCheck the linkage and gibs for binding and have the pressure settings, solenoid, relief valve and return spring checked. Page 54
Clamp won't hold pressureWorn clamp cylinder seals, pressure valve set too low, or clamp not parallel to the tableHave the seals and pressure setting checked and the clamp adjusted parallel to the table. Page 54
Clamp won't bottom or doesn't reach the table on pre-clampClamp cylinder out of adjustment, broken or misadjusted clamp return spring, or low pre-clamp pressureAdjust the clamp cylinder and return spring. If the clamp does not come all the way down after pressing the foot pedal, adjust the pneumatic pressure knob behind the lower left front door (page 46). Page 54
Clamp not parallel to the tableClamp connecting rod out of adjustmentAdjust the clamp connecting rod. Page 54

Frequently asked questions

How much does the Champion 305 TC weigh?

The cutter weighs 2,550 lb (1,157 kg) and should be moved by professional riggers with proper equipment (page 12).

How do I adjust the clamp return speed?

Remove the upper rear cover, loosen the locking nut on the upper flow control valve of the clamp air cylinder, and turn the knob clockwise to slow the return or counter-clockwise to speed it up. Set it so the clamp returns fast but does not bounce at the top (page 46).

How should I clean and protect the table?

Wipe the cast iron table with a non-flammable solvent such as CRC or blanket wash and coat it with nonabrasive wax. Challenge offers Cutter Care Kit p/n 16077. Wipe the powder-coated extension tables only with a dry cloth, and never clean the console with petroleum-based solvents (page 13).

What does the clamp up proximity switch do?

It stops the backgauge from moving unless the clamp is up and shuts off table air while the clamp is down so the stock cannot shift. It must be set within 1/8" (3.2 mm) of its actuator (page 46).
