2. The top of the conveyor belt at the right end
of the tilt infeed conveyor should be set to
about 13-7/8" (35.2 cm) from the floor and
level (Figure 8-6). Adjust the leveling pads
as necessary.

3. The height-adjustable portion should be set
to the height of (or slightly below) the bottom
of the binder's exit chute. After adjusting the
legs, lock into place with jam nuts.

able conveyor and the binder's exit chute.
