MCCRAFT to make sure the form tools do not move while retightening the clamp screws. 1. To adjust the depth of the 1 op form tool you will need to first loosen the jam nut on the cylinder rod on the rear of the cylinder. Then put a wrench on the rod of the cylinder and turn the wrench clockwise to increase depth, and counter-clockwise to reduce depth.
MCCRAFT 2. Adjusting the 2 op form tool is the same except you turn the wrench in the opposite direction. Counter-clockwise to increase depth, and clockwise to reduce depth. 5.4 HOW TO TEST AND MEASURE SEAMS Prior to make sure to complete the steps in section 5.3 to roughly position the seam tooling to avoid damage to the tooling.

MCCRAFT 3. Loosen the knob on the switch plate. Move the plate up or down until the sensor light is activated on the HMI screen. Then tighten the knob. 4. Use the HMI screen to raise the fill station.
MCCRAFT Once the rail height is set, put a can with an end on it under the Cap in Place Sensor. This is the sensor directly above the next can waiting to go into the seam station. With a can and end directly under the Cap in Place Sensor, Turn the sensor to adjust its position.

MCCRAFT 8 TIPS FOR A SUCCESSFUL RUN ● When canning you want the temperature of your product to be as close to 32°F as possible for your first run. The key to low dissolved oxygen levels is to have a perfect mushroom of foam when the cans leave the fill head.
