Installation

Carefully unpack the model 1217A. Notice that the Feed Table Assembly, the Second Fold Table Assembly, the
Paper Support and Exit Tray, are packed separately within the box. These items will be installed later. Carefully
inspect carton contents for damage. Report any shipping damage to the carrier and to Martin Yale Industries
immediately. Reach Martin Yale by dialing (260) 563-0641.
Place the AutoFolder on a flat and level work surface. Remove the wire tie (See Figure Below). Connect power
to the machine. Turn on the machine and let it run for a few minutes. There is a sheet of paper packed between
the rollers that will eject on start-up. Remove it from the Conveyor Table and discard. During this process, you
may hear a thumping sound caused by flat areas on the Rubber Folding Rollers. These flat areas occur during
long periods of non-use and will be eliminated during this initial run. If your AutoFolder is inactive for long periods,
you should repeat this process before attempting to fold paper.
Install the Second Fold Table Assembly by inserting it horizontally over the four silver Positioning Pins (two per
side) as shown in Fig. 1. Be sure the Table Assembly passes under the two Retaining Screws (one per side).
The table should then drop down over the pins and lock into position on the notches in the table's edges. The
Second Fold Table Assembly can be installed in two directions. The open end towards the rollers will produce a
double fold and the closed end (with silver deflector) will produce a single fold.
