The field guide for proper use of the Model 900 SSR Seamer Tool.

The builder/Erector remains solely responsible for the
safety and appropriateness of all techniques and methods
utilized by its crew in the erection of the VP building.
The Builder/Erector is also responsible for supplying any
safety devices, such as scaffolds, runways, nets, etc. which
may be required to safely erect the metal building system
and to perform the SSR-Seaming Operation.
Unplug the electrical power source before performing
any service on the seamer tool.
Check and maintain all electical cords and connections.
Power source and electrical cords should have a 3 wire
grounding system.
Discontinue seaming operation in damp, wet conditions and
other undesirable weather conditions.
Provide safe operating procedures along edges of roof,
tuf-lites, and other roof openings.

A. Check Seamer Tool
1.Check seamer tool for grease.
When in use, tool should be
lubricated every day. If Seamer
tool is in sustained, continuous use,
grease every four (4) hours. Only
one (1) shot of grease required
at each point shown (1, 2 & 3).
2.Lubricate tool at grease fittings,
using only "Lithium Grease"
See figure 1 for grease fitting
locations.
3.Clean forming rolls with WD-40
to remove dirt, excessive grease
and sealant build-up on rolls.
4.Check tool for loose parts,
screws,wheels,forming rolls, and
and electrical connections. Repair
and replace as required.
5.Lubricate drive chain, which is
enclosed under rear chain cover.
Loosen and remove one (1) set
screw from cover. Apply one (1)
shot of grease to each drive
sprocket as required after 8 hour
use (see figure 4 above).
B. Panels
1. Panels may have excess oil build-up. This will not affect the
seaming operation. Panels should be wiped down at the areas
where tape mastic or tube sealant is to be applied.
2. Check seams to ensure they are engaged prior to seaming.

PROPER SEAM PROFILE
AFTER SEAMING
4. Turn Power Switch on and run seamer about 4 inches.
Check seam to ensure proper seaming operation.
5. After seam is checked and proper operation is verified,
continue to seam remainder of panel, inspecting seam
continuously. Seamer should travel approximately 25 feet
per minute.
6. When the seamer tool approaches the end lap, "STOP"
the seamer tool before crossing the End Lap and hand
crimp the leading edge of female lip. Also, it will slow
down due to the additional thickness of metal. This
heavier load requirement can be detrimental to the
seamer tool if it should come to a complete stall. The
operator should assist by manually pushing the seamer
forward by the handle until the seamer clears the lap.
HAND CRIMPING AT START OF SEAMING OPERATION:
CRIMPING THE FEMALE LIP OF SEAM INTO POSITION.
7. When approaching the end of the panel, use extreme
caution, and stop seamer while rear wheels remain on
panel. Roll machine back to a safe working area.
