CAUTION!
Please read the following manual before assembling and operating your ErgoArm Tool Support System\b
As  in  all  cases,  when  electric  or  air  lines  come  in  close  contact  with  moving  parts  or  mechanisms,  precautions  should  be
taken by the person installing and operating the equipment that these cords or hoses do not become entangled or damaged
by moving parts\b Proper attention will prevent possible hazard or injury.

1.Remove  the TABLE MOUNT from the box\b
\b. Bolt to work surface\b It is important to level the table mount so that the post is 90 degrees to the work surface through full range of
travel (see VIEW #1)
3. Insert  POSTinto mount, and tighten set screws\b
4. Remove  remaining  body  of  ErgoArm  from  box  and  slide  ADJUSTABLE  SHOULDER  CLAMPover POST\b  Tighten  screws  at  desired
height  (see VIEW #\f)\b
5. A) FOR PARALLEL ERGOARMS  MODELS ADD1098P OR PAC:
You will need to supply correct fillings for your tool and  ELBOW MANIFOLDopenings if an air tool is used\b Part #EAS111 Air Hose
Set (not included) is recommended when using ADD1098PE or ADD1098PACE style arms\b
After fittings have been connected and tightened, the tool can now be attached\b
PLACEMENT OF PNEUMATIC/ELECTRIC TOOLS IN MOUNTING:
If  WRIST  BRACKET “V”  Part  #EAP\f0\f  (Item  #40)  is  supplied,  adjust  the  tool  up  or  down  until  operator  is  able  to  establish  a
comfortable grip on the tool\b Tighten  TOOL CLAMP(Item #44), using small clamp for tool body diameters under \f” and large clamp
for tool body diameters exceeding \f”, until tool is snugly in place and cannot be moved\b It is recommended to leave as mush of the tool body as possible, extending below the  WRIST BRACKET “V” (Item #40), to assure operator comfort\b Whichever clamp is used,
after fitting the tool to arm, excess strap should be cut and any sharp edges rounded off for safety purposes\b
If  AIR MANIFOLD  (Item #59) is used, connect tool to manifold with air fitting\b

The VERTICAL ADJUSTMENT ROD (Item #41) allows the tool to be adjusted from zero degrees (parallel to column), up to 15 degrees
in either direction from zero point\b This compensates for any irregularities in the workpiece or if application requires fastener to be 
driven in at an angle (see View #3)\b This does not take the place of properly leveling the Table Mount Flange\b Use for final 90 degree
adjustment\b
To  adjust  angle  of  the  tool,  loosen  the  VERTICAL  ADJUSTMENT  SLEEVE(Item  #4\f)  clockwise  to  have  tool  angle  out  or  counter 
clockwise to have tool angle in\b Once desired angle is reached, tighten the 3/816 nut (Item #43) to hold adjustment in place\b
To  increase  the  reach  capability  of  the  Ergo  Arm,  remove  the  ring  pin  (Item  #14)  from  the  CYLINDER  MOUNTING  YOKEROD  END
(Item #1\f)\b
Remove clevis pin (Item #19) and Eclip from  PARALLEL UPPER RAIL (Item #38)\b
Pull FOREARM INSERT (Item #13) out, away from arm, to desired reach, up to an additional 5\b Once desired reach is achieved, align
hole  pattern  between  FOREARMand FOREARM  INSERT,  reinsert  ring  pin  (Item  #14)  in  CYLINDER  MOUNTING  YOKEROD  END
(Item #1\f)\b
Adjust  PARALLEL UPPER RAIL (Item #38) forward until length equals that of the  FOREARM INSERT (Item #13)\b
Adjust  PARALLEL  UPPER  RAIL (Item  #38)  with CYLINDER  MOUNTING  BLOCK and ELBOW and  reinsert  clevis  pin  (Item  #19)  and 
Eclip (Item #\f6)\b
B) FOR PARALLEL ERGOARMS  MODELS ADD1098S OR SAC:
Attach  PNEUMATIC tool  to  the  TOOL  MANIFOLD  (Item  #49)  and  tighten\b  If ELECTRIC  DRIVER  MOUNTING (Part  #EAP\f0\fED,  Not
Supplied), or  PISTOL GRIP MOUNTING (Part #EAA\f1, Not Supplied) is used, place tool in the V bracket portion of mounting and
tighten hose clamp making sure tool is in a comfortable operating position for the operator\b
NOTE:  The WRIST  BRACKET  YOKE (Item  #48)  allows  the  tool  to  move  from  side  to  side  and  front  to  back\b  If  the  side  to  side 
movement  is  not  wanted,  remove  the  WRIST  BRACKET  YOKE  STOP(Item  #46,  mounted  on  the  end  of  the  FOREARM  INSERT)  by 
removing (\f) button head screws (Item #47), then turn the  WRIST BRACKET YOKE STOP180 degrees to where the lip of the  YOKE 
STOP is across the  WRIST BRACKET YOKE (Item #48)\b This allows the operator the option of restricting the side to side movement 
(see VIEW #4 at the top of page 5)\b

To  increase  the  reach  capability  of  the  ErgoArm,  remove  the  ring  pin  (Item  #14)  from  the CYLINDER  MOUNTING  YOKEROD  END
(Item #1\f)\b
Pull  the  FOREARM  INSERT (Item  #13)  out,  away  from  the  arm,  the  desired  reach,  up  to  an  additional  5\b  Once  desired  reach  is 
achieved, align holes in  FOREARMand FOREARM INSERT, reinsert ring pin in  CYLINDER MOUNTING YOKEROD END (Item #1\f)\b
To adjust the  OIL CYLINDER RETURN SPEED, remove rod end of  CYLINDER YOKE(Item #1\f) by removing hairpin and clevis pin\b
Turn cylinder rod  CLOCKWISEto SLOW DOWN TRAVEL\b Turn cylinder rod  COUNTERCLOCKWISEto SPEED UP TRAVEL\b
Place rod end of cylinder in  CYLINDER YOKE(Item #1\f) and reinsert clevis pin and hairpin\b
FOR ALL MODELS:
\f. Loosen cap screw in  CYLINDER MOUNTING BLOCK  (Item #17)\b
7. For  ErgoArms  with  OIL CYLINDER,  pull  CYLINDER(Item  #3\f)  up  through  the  mounting  block  (away  from  tool  for  heavier
tool/towards  tool  for  lighter  tool)  until  desired  height  of  arm  is  reached\b  Hold  in  place  while  tightening  cap  screw\b  If  this  does  not
accomplish the needed Balance Point:
8. Remove the ring pin (Item #14) from  CYLINDER MOUNTING YOKEROD(Item #1\f)\b
9. Move  YOKE (Item #1\f) forward desired number of adjustment holes (holes are in 1 increments) towards tool for heavier tool or away
from tool for lighter tool\b When desired position is located, reinsert ring pin\b This increases or decreases the  CYLINDER PRELOAD\b
FOR AIR CYLINDER MODELS:
10. For ErgoArms with  AIR CYLINDER, supply air to the 1/4 N\bP\bT\b inlet on the  ELBOW\b This also supplies air to the pneumatic regula
tor\b  If  the  application  does  not  require  air  to  the  driver  (i\be  electric  tool),  then  this  port  should  be  plugged  with  1/4  N\bP\bT\b  plug (not supplied)\b
WARNING:  Although  a  check  valve  has  been  supplied  with  the  arm,  when  air  is  first  connected,  the  arm  will  bounce  to  an  upright 
position very quickly\b All operators should stand with the front of the ErgoArm facing away while connecting the air supply to prevent 
many injuries\b
11. By  turning  the  regulator  adjustment  knob  clockwise,  air  pressure  is  increased  to  the  cylinder  allowing  the  arm  to  have  more
resistance and increased weight holding capacity\b
1\b. By  turning  the  regulator  adjustment  knob  counterclockwise,  air  pressure  is  decreased  allowing  the  arm  to  have  less  resistance
and decreased weight holding capacity\b
YOUR ERGOARM IS NOW READY FOR USE.
