Upgrade/Termination Hardware Return Instructions: CMC 8000 and 8500 Series

• If your CMC has a Straight Line Trimmer, it must be taken off in order to remove the Head and Gantry.

• Turn the shut off valve on the blue air line, and unplug the blue air line by untwisting the blue air fittings.

• Turn the bottom locking knob clockwise to loosen.

• Turn the top locking knob counter-clockwise to loosen.

• Slide the Straight Line Trimmer off of the Board.

Caution: Head appearance may vary from model shown, but the connections are the same. Do not pick up the Head using the Blade Depth Knob or the Head Cover. Pick up the Head by holding the “D-Shaped” upper and lower Head Faceplates.

• If the motors are engaged, click Reset Motors Button on the Cut Preview and click OK on the Release Motors prompt.

• Power off the ECU/Driver Pack.

• Push the Blade Cartridge Release Lever down to eject the Blade Cartridge.

• Turn off the air.

• Remove the Gantry Covers by unscrewing the screws that hold them in place and set them aside.

• Move the Gantry to the right side of the Board until the Footblock is off of the Board.

• Remove the two 5/32” screws and set aside.

• If present, remove the Head Assembly Power Cable Strain Relief spanner from around the base sides of the Head Power Plug connection.

• Disconnect the Head Power Plug (square connection) from the Head Grabber Arm.

• Disconnect the air to the Head by untwisting the two air fittings.

• Roll the Head down the Gantry until it rolls off the Gantry, taking care not to drop it.

• Replace the two 5/32” screws into the Head.

• Unplug the ECU/Driver Pack Power Cord.

• Disconnect the male end of the Board Cable from the back of the ECU/Driver Pack by turning the locking ring and pulling gently.

• Unplug the USB Cable from the back of the ECU/Driver Pack.

• The instructions following will show how to remove the Gantry.

• Disconnect the Board Cable by turning the locking ring until it comes away from the Gantry.

• Disconnect the Air Lines to the Gantry by untwisting the red and blue air fittings.

• Note: Look for Red Dots (only these screws are to be adjusted).

• Locate the 3/16” Allen Belt Tensioner Screw that’s located on the right bottom side of the lower Board Rail and marked with a red dot.

• Loosen this screw one turn only so that there is some movement in the Belt Tensioner.

WARNING: Do not over loosen this screw. One full turn is usually sufficient.

• The Belt Tensioner Springs should be visible.

• Remove the 5/32” Allen screws and washers from the lower Gantry Plate.

• Locate the Belt Tensioner Hole on the end of the Belt Tensioner.

• Place the 5/32” Allen screw and washer we removed from the lower Gantry Plate into the Belt Tensioner Hole.

• Tighten the Allen screw until Belt Tensioner is flush with the Board Rail and the Belt Tensioner Springs are not visible.

• Go back and tighten the 3/16” Allen Belt Tensioner Screw.

• Lift the Drive Belt end out of the Belt Tensioner Slot.

• Pushing the Drive Belt end to the right may assist in getting a hold of it.

• Wind up the Drive Belt, and rubberband it.

• Repeat these steps with the upper Board Rail.

• Move the Gantry far enough to the left to dislodge the Belt Anchors.

• The Belt Anchors are sunk into the left ends of the Board Rails and are attached to the Drive Belts.

• See the following instructions for the type of Gantry Stop your machine has.

• Loosen the top 3/16” Stop Screw of the Magnetic Stop.

• Remove the right front 3/16” Stop Screw of the silver Stop Plate and set aside.

• Loosen the back left T-Nut screw and slide the Stop Plate to the left end of the Board Rail to remove.

• If your model only has a Stop Screw without the Stop Plate, remove the Stop Screw.

• Hold the Gantry on the bottom and along the Gantry Arm and gently roll the Gantry off the Board Rails on the left side of the Board and set aside.

• The Gantry only weights about thirty pounds, but it is large and awkward, so having a second person standing in front of the Board helping may be beneficial.

• Place the packaging foam in the bottom of the box with the cradle toward the center.

• Place the Head upside down into the cradle; you may need to rotate the Footblock.

• Place the remaining portion of the Head packaging foam across the bottom of the Head and around each side; press into place.
