To place the fold
tables onto the
machine, slide the
front slot opening of
the fold table onto
the inner set of pins
(closest to the fold-
ing rollers) with a
light forward pres-
sure. Lower the fold table onto the outer set of
pins as shown in Figure 1.
NOTE: When placing the fold table onto the machine
with the deflector end toward the folding rollers, it
may be necessary to rotate the handwheel counter-
clockwise. When removing the fold table with the
deflector end toward the folding rollers, it may be nec-
essary to rotate the handwheel clockwise. This will
release any tension that may be between the table
and the folding roller.
3.2 Installing The Exit Table
Install the exit table by
engaging the two tabs
into the slots provided
on the conveyor table
and lowering the exit
table into position as
shown in Figure 2.
3.3 Installing The Feed Table
CAUTION: Never handle the feed table by the left or
right paper guides. This will cause bending of paper
guides, which will cause improper folding.
The feed table has
four location slots,
one each at the front
and on the long side
of the table. The feed
table is supported on
the folder by four
pins. The pins are
located above the
feed roller shaft on
the left and right
main frame. Place the feed table onto the folder by
engaging the front slots on the table with the pins nearest the
folding rollers. This is best accomplished by inserting the table
nearly vertically into the machine. Once the table slots engage
the pins, lower the table down so the slots on the long side of
the table slide over the other set of pins (See Figure 3).
3.4 Installing The Vinyl Air Hoses
Connect the vinyl air hose extending from the left main frame
to the 90° fitting on the left paper guide. Likewise, connect the
air hose extending from the right main frame to the 90° fitting
on the right paper guide.
NOTE: Only the right paper guide air flow can be shut
off.

3.5 Installing The Sheet Detector
Attach the sheet detector to the sheet detector block (orange
side out) via the locking knob and washer. Slide the sheet detec-
tor to the top position and tighten the locking knob. Operational
setting of the detector will be covered later in this manual.
3.6 Installing The Timing Block Turnbuckle
Assembly
CAUTION: Both locking nuts on the turnbuckle
assembly must be in the locked position (except
when setting or resetting the timing). Do not rotate
the assembly during installation. Mis-timing may
result.
Connect the turnbuckle assembly
to the underside of the feed table
as shown in Figure 4. One end of
the turnbuckle is factory installed
to the timing block. A nut, brass
sleeve, and bolt is factory
installed to the other end of the
turnbuckle. Remove the nut and
slide the bolt through the hole in
the underside of the feed table. Tighten the nut and
bolt in place.

3.7 Installing The Hand Wheel
Slide the hand wheel onto the shaft extending from the right
machine cover. Lock the handwheel (hex socket) set screw onto
the shaft with the provided hex key wrench.
NOTE: Make sure the set screw is securely tightened
and hand wheel is locked into position.
3.8 The Accessory Shaft Journals
The upper and lower accessory shaft journals extend from the
left machine cover. While these journals are factory installed,
they may have come loose during shipping. Make sure the jour-
nal shafts are locked in position by rotating the lower shaft jour-
nal clockwise, and the upper shaft journal counterclockwise.
Pull straight out to test. when locked they can not be pulled

out.
3.9 Aligning The Sheet Detector Block
The sheet detector block is located on the top tie rod and is
locked into position via a set screw on top of the block. Align
the front of the sheet detector with the two target marks on the
feed table. The target marks are to the left and right of the vacu-
um roller.
