Stroke Limit Adjustment

Applies to most core cutters made after 1984

If you cut cores with a wall thickness less than 1/4" on your Universal series cutter (those made after 1984), it should have a stroke limit on the pull rod cylinder. This limits the stroke of the cylinder to prevent the head jaws from over-expanding and bursting the thin wall cores. If the stroke limit gets out of adjustment, it can prevent the head jaws from expanding sufficiently to grip the core. This can be remedied by adjusting the limit.
