INFEED FLAP CONDITION
Daily, check the overall condition of the (3) infeed flaps, pictured in Section 2, Left Quarter View.
Check for wear, or tears in the flap, or if pieces are missing. Replace them if you see damage. Check
the rods that support the flaps: they should be in good condition and in proper location. Any flap and
or its mounting hardware that is deteriorated should be replaced to assure proper machine performance
and operation.
