How to Operate
Sequence of
Operation
Successful power-up and operation is assured if you apply the follow -
ing sequence of steps:
1: Loading material in the hopper
2: Determining stack height
3: Powering On feeder
4: Setting/adjusting speed
5: Running test cycles
6: Final check
STEP 1:
Loading Material
in the Hopper
Preshingling prevents multiple sheets from
jamming under the gate assembly at startup.
NO TE
1. Start by preshingling by hand a small stack of material so that
it conforms to the curvature of the gate assembly. Push in gen -
tly to make sure lead edges touch the gate bracket assembly
and front edges of the hopper guides.
2. At the back wedge, notice how it helps lift the trailing edges
of the material off the table top and feed belts. Also notice
how the lifting helps to push the preshingled edges against the
curvature of the gate assembly.
This section provides a sequence of operation for the V-710IJ Univer-
sal Friction Feeder. It also provides information for
clearing a jam
and for shutdown .
STEP 2:
Determining Stack
1. Gradually add more material to the hopper after the initial
stack is formed around the gate assembly. As stack height will
have a preferred minimum and a maximum, you will have to
experiment to determine effective range of height.
2. Make sure the material is loaded in the hopper as straight as
possible. Before adding to hopper, “jog” each handful of ma -
terial on a flat surface to make sure lead edges are as even as
possible. As you add each handful, gently push in each stack
so that lead edges rest firmly against front of side guides.
TIP
Stack height affects the downward pressure on
the feed belts. Greater downward pressure can
increase the chances for double feeds.
