Adjusting The Guide Rollers; Adjustment For Vignole Rails; Adjustment For Grooved Rails (If Equipped With Grooves) - GEISMAR MP.12 Manual

3.3 - Adjusting the guide rollers

Guide roller spacing can be adjusted so as to be able to place the machine on all rail types,
irrespective of head width.

3.3.1 - Adjustment for Vignole rails

Adjust one of the two guide rollers of the machine as follows:
■
- Disassemble the two guide flanges Item ① held in place by the nuts and counter nuts
Item ① (25 pin wrench).
- remove or put back, on each of the two roller axles, the number of spacers Item ③
required
(the same number on each side) to obtain a clearance from 5 to 10mm between the rail
head and one of the two guide flanges Item ① (see sketch).
- Place the unused spacers outside the guide flanges Item ①.
- Put back and thoroughly tighten the nuts and counter nuts Item ②.
Repeat this assembly on the second guide roller.
■
3.3.2 – Adjustment for grooved rails (if equipped with grooves)
Adjust one of the two guide rollers of the machine as follows:
■
- Release the nuts Item ② and Item ③.
- Place the machine on the rail, positioning the guide rollers Item ④ and Item ⑤ in the
groove.
- Position the wheel Item ⑥aligning the outer edges of the rail and the wheel (see
diagram) by progressively moving the machine to the outside of the track.
- Bring up the guide roller Item ④ so it touches the outer side of the groove and lock in
place the nuts Item ③.
- Push the axle Item ① to draw up to the guide roller Item ⑤ a few millimetres from
the inner side of the groove and lock in place the nut Item ②.
We recommend use of a Ø80 mm wheel and an appropriate wheel protective cap (Ref.
37101), designed to raise the fillet.
