To correctly position the FEED PLATE FORK, the inside
edge should be ¾ inch in front of the FEED PLATE, as
shown here.
ADJUSTING FOR PAPER FEEDING
Adjust the Retarder Roll to allow a sheet of paper to go between the feed wheel and the
retarder roll by moving the ADJUSTING SCREW KNOB up or down by turning it clockwise or
counter clockwise.
Turn the hand wheel on the folder several times to
insure there is no bind or reason not to start the folder.
Install the feed wheel cover over the feed wheel. If
everything is all right, turn on the folder. Insert the
sheet of paper you will run between the feed wheel
and the retarder roll holding it loosely so not to pull
your fingers into the feed wheel cover, turn the
ADJUSTING SCREW KNOB clockwise slowly until
you feel the sheet pulling out of your fingers. While the
folder is running, paper dust will build up on the feed
wheel. Stop the folder and clean the feed wheel if the
sheets begin to feed erratically.
Turn off the folder
The PAPER GUIDE FLAP slides into the top slot of
the PAPER FEED TABLE as shown here. The Paper
Feed Flap prevents the sheet from “stumbling” on the
feed table slot.
TUCK-IN ASSEMBLIES are mounted on the SQUARE
BAR. One Tuck-in assembly mounts over the left side
of the paper to guide the paper under the Marble Rack
and the side guide. The other Tuck-in Assembly is
mounted over the right side of the paper to guide it
under the Hold-down rod.
The adjustment between the Feed Wheel and the Retarder roll feeds the sheet but also acts
as a caliper. If you are pulling double sheets when feeding, tighten the Retarder Roll slowly
until it feeds single sheets.
