FLEXCO XP Fasteners Operating instructions

  • Hello! I have reviewed the provided operating instructions for the Flexco XP-LOK Belt Wire XPLW-120 and Tensioner XPLT2. These products are used to properly install XP fasteners on rubber plied belting. The instructions include steps for loading fasteners, tensioning, and wire insertion. I'm ready to answer any questions you have about these products and their usage.
  • What is the purpose of the XP-LOK Belt Wire?
    How do I position the Tensioning Block?
    How much excess wire should be left on each end?
XP-LOK Operating Instructions
1. Load XP™ Staple Fasteners in the bed starting on the right side. Leave 2-3 empty H-holes. Center belt in fasteners and tighten clamp bar.
Insert Tensioning Block into the last slot of the bed. Fig 1a. Ensure Tensioning Knob is in the out position by pulling the threaded sha all
the way out. Rotate the Tensioning Block 90 degrees to the right to lock into position. Fig. 1b.
2. Position End Block approximately 2 H-holes from left edge of the belt. Insert XP-LOK™ Belt Wire through blocks on both ends of the
bed between belt and fastener. Leave minimum of 50 mm (2 inches) of excess wire on each end.
For installation of Flexco® XP fasteners on rubber plied belting,
use XP-LOK to prevent belt wave and ripple.
NOTE: At the beginning of each splice turn the Tensioning Knob counterclockwise until it reaches the start position. Knob should
rest against steel block.

3. Hand tighten 2 wing screws on End Block (M5 thread). Pull wire taut on Tensioning Block end and ensure wire is located between
fastener holes. Hand tighten remaining 2 wing screws.
4. Hand tighten wire by turning Tensioning Knob clockwise
until it becomes dicult to turn. Start fastener installation.
Monitor wire tension and position during installation. Adjust if
necessary. Warning: Do not drive applicator over End Block.
5. After installation is complete use wire cutters to cut excess wire at both ends of the splice. Loosen wing screws and remove wire ends.
Remove and store blocks for next splice.
TIP: Use pliers to pull belt wire ends from blocks.
