SERIES VF-100 SCREW FEEDER

C. LOCATION:
The feeder should be installed in an area which is clean and dry and without
excessive drafts that will blow fine material into the air. This will prevent a dusting
problem that would be detrimental to both personnel and other equipment in the area.
Damp locations can cause some materials to absorb moisture. This can affect the
handling properties of the material causing difficulties in feeding the material.
D. UNPACKING:
Remove all strapping and packing material from the feeder assembly. If furnished
with a scale, remove the shipping spacers from beneath the scale plate and lower the
scale so that the leveling feet are resting on the feeder stand.
II. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
Move the feeder assembly to the desired location and orientation. Level the feeder
stand and bolt it down. The stand height is pre-adjusted at the factory. However,
should height adjustment be necessary it can be accomplished in the field with
ordinary hand tools.
Once the feeder assembly is in place, remove the four (4) 1-inch long x ¼-20 hex
bolts from the leveling feet, and install the four (4) 5/8-inch long x ¼-20 hex bolts into
the shock mount. Adjust the leveling feet of the scale from the under side of the
feeder stand platform. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN! These screws are only to keep
the scale from moving on the stand. If tightened completely they will apply load to the
load cells, and this will result in inaccurate scale measurements.
On installations where the customer has chosen not to purchase a mounting stand
from Eagle Microsystems, the customer must provide a mounting stand. The stand
must be rigid, flat and level. The stand should be large enough to support the feeder
