INSTALLATION

The water pan and shield attach as shown, however these should
be left off until final roller settings are made.

YOU ARE NOW READY TO MAKE FINAL ADJUSTMENTS

Install the pan roller into the eccentric brackets. The shorter end will
go to the OPS and the roller should be centered to the metering
roller.  Replace the bearing caps. Do not adjust the middle screw
in the bearing cap, as this has been factory set for proper cap
tension.
