  • Page 5 FEED TABLE INSTALLATION PHOTO # 1 PHOTO # 2 FEED TABLE PINS The feed table is installed onto the machine so that a cutout area on the bottom of the table fits onto the pins in photo 1 on each side. NOTE: THE BOLT ON THE BACK PIN CAN NOT BE ADJUSTED.

    Once the feed table has been installed on the machine, use the thumbnut on the bottom of the feed table to raise the small red wheel in the feed table so that it is touching the orange one. There should not be any pressure between them, just contact.
  • Page 7 However, if there is going to be two folds in the sheet the aluminum deflector should be facing out. To engage, simply position the table so that the two tie rods in between the side frames of the machine will be in the cut -out grooves on the bottom of the fold table (see photo #2 on previous page).
  • Page 8 The hand wheel should be installed on the machine so that the set screw is tightened down onto the flat side of the shaft. Make sure that it is strongly applied. This will allow you to rotate the folding rollers of the machine by hand. If the set screw is not tightened to the flat side of the shaft, it can damage the machine.

    Once the fold table is reversed the setting on it does not matter. Adjust the 1 fold table paper stop for proper folding. You will find a fold chart on the receiving tray with common settings. The settings are only approximate, some adjustment may be necessary for the best fold quality.
  • Page 10 STAPLED SETS Stapled sets are not recommended on the unit due to damaging the folding rollers over a period of time. However, these can be ran by stapling each set in both of the upper corners. The staples should be parallel to the top edge of the sheet. An alternative to this would be to lo wer the red wheel completely and hand feeding the sets one at a time (unstapled).
  • Page 11: Maintenance

    MAINTENANCE LUBRICATON For each 20 hours of machine operation, lubricate the bushings of the machine with a medium grade lubricant. CLEANING For each twenty hours of operation, clean the folding rollers of the unit with Rubber Roller Cleaner. This is typically done with a Scotch-Brite pad and an old cotton cloth.
