When performing initial feeder adjustments prior to operation, always make sure you turn Off the main power switch and
disconnect all equipment from the electrical power source. Failure to do so can expose you to a potential startup, and therefore
moving parts which can cause serious injury.
Do not attempt to make any adjustments while the feeder and machine of application are running. Failure to do so can expose you
to moving parts which can cause serious injury. Do not wear loose clothing when operating the feeder.
Avoid making adjustments with loose or unsecured parts. This can potentially damage parts.
Ensuring Proper Timing Belt Tracking
Check for visual signs of:
• Misaligned timing pulleys.
Checking for Gate Assembly Wear
Check for visual signs of wear:
• Flat areas along the O-rings.
• Gum-like material build-up around separating surface.
