SSR 900 Seamer Tool Manual
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.

3. POWER SOURCE
1. The 3 station roof seamer motor requires a 20 amp, 100-125 volt AC power
supply. Poor performance and motor damage can result from use of an
improper power supply.
Recommended extension cord size:
Distance (FT) 0-50 50-100 100-200 200+
Wire Gauge (AWG) 12 10 8 6
No other power tools should be run from seamer tool cord during seaming
operation.
2. Check Power Source, if seamer tool slows down or voltage
appears to drop.
A. There are three (3) possible reasons:
1. A lower rated cord than required is being used.
2. The power source is too far from seaming area.
3. Make sure no more than one (1) electrical power tool is
being operated off the single power source that is required for
the seamer tool.
3. Electrical requirements for 3/4 H.P.-10 Amp motor
A. 115 volt (minimum) - 60 cycle single phase
B. 20 Amp breaker minimum

4. PREPARATION FOR SEAMING
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 fittings locations.
3. Clean forming rolls with WD-40 to
remove dirt, excessive grease and
sealant build-up on rolls.
Clean Mastic from rollers daily.
4. Check tool for loose parts, screws,
wheels, forming rolls, and electrical
connections. Repair & 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. Panel
1. Panels should be wiped down at the areas where tape
mastic or tube sealant is to be applied.
2. BEFORE SEAMING, IT IS IMPORTANT TO WIPE THE
SEAM CLEAN WITH SOAPY CLOTH IMMEDIATELY
BEFORE SEAMING THE PANEL. THIS STEP WILL
DRAMATICALLY REDUCE THE CHANCE OF MARRING
THE SEAMS AT THE CLIP LOCATIONS.
3. Check seams to ensure they are engaged prior to
seaming. See Figure 1 - Correct and Figure 2 -
Incorrect below
NOTE:
Start SSR-Seamer Tool is designed to operate one direction only.
See caution and safety information in front of this manual
TO BEGIN SEAMING OPERATION
1. Ensure proper engagement of the male and female hems.
