VERTICAL ALIGNMENT (CONTINUED)
7. Take note of the vertical adjusting knob so you
know from where you are starting. See FIG. 49.
Now turn the vertical adjusting handwheel an
additional 1/2 revolution. This 1/2 revolution is to
compensate for the fact that as you adjust the left
side, the right side is also moving at a proportioned
amount. This should almost align your reel in the
vertical parallelism plane. See FIG. 49.
8. Move the alignment fixture back to the right hand
side of the reel and readjust the alignment rod so
that it lightly touches the top or bottom of reel
center shaft.
9. Move back to the left side to make sure the reel is
in correct vertical position. If not, move vertical
adjustment handwheel up or down so that it just
touches alignment rod on both sides. When it
does, retest right and left sides until the same.
10. If the left side of the reel is found to be higher than
the right, lower the mounting bar and reel until
alignment rod lightly touches the top or bottom
of the reel center shaft and then turn the vertical
adjusting handwheel an additional 1/2 revolution.
This 1/2 revolution is to compensate for the fact
that as you adjust the left side, the right side is also
moving at a proportioned amount. This should line
the reel up accurately on both sides. Then continue
with procedures found in STEPS 7 and 8 above.
11. Now lock the vertical adjusting screw locking
handle. See FIG. 49.
NOTE: This alignment is not as critical as the horizontal
plane, but care should be taken on all reel set ups.
The accuracy should be within approximately .010"
(.254mm).
NOTE: The pivot end of the support bar is pinned to
the frame permanently. The adjustable end can be
adjusted independently both vertically and horizontally.
CAREFULLY REVIEW THE CORRECT
IDENTIFICATION OF THE LOCKING KNOBS IN
