FEEDING SYSTEM
Feed wire
Demount the transparent drive unit front plate and covers on all feed bends. Lead the wire through the drive unit
outlet to the first corner or to the loading hopper. Continue leading the wire from bend to bend through the entire
system all the way to the drive unit. Remember to turn the feed wire roll while unwinding the wire to prevent the
formation of loops. Also remember to check the rotating direction on all bend wheels.
Once the wire has been taken all the way back to the drive unit, lead it around the drive wheel and then around
the tightening wheel. Then, tighten the wire until the tightening wheel has travelled ¾ of its total to the right.
Indicate the place where the wire is to be shortened.
Saw away the plastic plate where the wire is to be shortened. Carefully saw the plate from both sides along the
wire until the plastic plate has almost been sawed through. Carefully wriggle the two halves apart. Take care not
to damage the individual wire threads. Should this happen anyway, you will have to saw off another plate. Cut the
wire nicely using a wire cutter. The wire has been wound into shape and will not unwind when cut. Collect the
wire. It is important that all wire threads are intact and placed nicely in the wire collector and that there are no
plastic residues where the wire joint is to be placed.
Place the wire around the drive wheel and tightening wheels again, and check that the wire collector does not
touch the drive wheel teeth.
Release the wire break switch by turning it clockwise. Mount the front plate on the drive unit and the covers on all
bend wheels.
Please note that the wire will stretch after a while. If necessary, readjust the length of the wire.
Feed chain
Demount the transparent drive unit front plate and covers on all feed bends.
Remove the feed chain from the bag and place it on a flat surface. Check that the chain does not twist (turn the
chain until all twists have been removed).
To pull the chain through the system, use a detector spring or a strong piece of wire that is as long as the longest
distance between the two feed bends on the entire feeding system.
Lead the wire through the drive unit outlet to the first corner or to the loading hopper. Secure the wire to the feed
chain and pull the chain through the feed pipe using the wire. Continue leading the wire from bend to bend
through the entire system, thus leading the chain all the way to the drive unit.
