Review Step 1: Positioning with the Feeder The discharge belt on the autoloader must be set slightly higher than the feeder hopper. The correct height depends on the product being fed and the clearance of the wedge being used. Objective Correctly adjust the height of the autoloader so the product being fed falls evenly and freely, without skew, into the feeder hopper.

Review Step 2: Discharge Side Guide The discharge side guides help direct the product in a straight line of movement along the discharge belt. Assembly and Setup Each side guide is independently adjustable, both horizontally and vertically, to accommodate different product widths.
Page 15
Step 2: Discharge Side Guide Assembly and Setup (continued) Loosen the lock levers on each side guide. To adjust the side guides for width, indepen- dently adjust each side guide to within ap- proximately 1/8” of the product positioned as it will be received from the incline conveyor belt.

Review Step 3: Docking The autoloader and feeder are connected together by a docking bracket, adjustable for the distance between the feeder and the autoloader. The proper extension of the bracket will allow the proper amount of clearance for the product to fall, evenly and aligned, from the autoloader discharge belt into the hopper on the feeder.

Review Step 6: Hold Down Rollers The hold down rollers float along the top surface of the shingled stream of product to help control it as it Setup is moved upward on the incline conveyor belt to the discharge area. The hold down rollers can be spaced as close as 3 inches along the hold down frame. The ideal set up would use the least rollers necessary to manage the product.

Review Step 8: Connect Power The autoloader must be connected to a 115VAC power source and is protected by a 15A circuit breaker. Objective Connect power and verify the circuit breaker is in the on (–) position. Procedure Open the control panel door by turning the disconnect to the off position and turning the latch/slotted screws with a screwdriver.
