Marquis: Aligning The Front Rolls; Super Certes/Super Bowl: Height Of Cut Adjustment - Ransomes super certes 51 Safety, Operation & Maintenance Manual

10 ADJUSTMENTS
10.3 MARQUIS: ALIGNING THE FRONT
ROLLS
Should the front rolls become out of true with the
bottom blade, adjust accordingly:
1. Slacken the nut on the front roll carriage,
left hand side for the 61cm machine,
right hand side for 45cm and 51cm
machine.
2. Place a straight edge between the front
and rear rolls and check the variation in
the measurement between the bottom
blade cutting edge and the straight edge
at both sides of the machine.
3. Reset the front roll carriage so that the
measurement between the bottom blade
and the straight edge is the same on
both sides.
4. Retighten the nut.
10.4 SUPER CERTES/SUPER BOWL: HEIGHT
OF CUT ADJUSTMENT
The cutting height is determined by the position of
the front roll in relation to the bottom blade; variation
of this setting is made by adjusting the front roll:
1. Loosen the bolts (D) securing the front roll
brackets on both sides of the machine.
2. Set the roll at the required height by either
turning the handscrew (A) clockwise to
raise the height of cut or anticlockwise to
lower the height of cut. Check that the
setting is the same at both sides of the
machine.
NOTE: The hexagon spacer and locking nut do not
need to be altered during this operation.
3. To ensure that the height of cut is set
correctly, tilt the machine back and place
a straight edge across the front and rear
rolls - the gap between the bottom blade
cutting surface and the straight edge
should not be less that 5mm in dry
conditions and 6mm in wet conditions.
Check the setting at both ends of
bottom blade. A height of cut 3mm with
special thin blade can be obtained for fine
finishing providing that the area to be cut is
of high standard.
