How to Operate
Sequence of
Operation
Successful power-up and operation is assured if you apply the follow -
ing sequence of steps.
STEP 1:
Loading Material
in the Hopper
Preshingling prevents multiple sheets from
jamming under the gate assembly at start-up.
NO TE
• Start by preshingling by hand a small stack of material (Figure 29)
so that it conforms to the curvature of the gate assembly. Push in
gently to make sure lead edges touch the gate bracket assembly and
front edges of the hopper guides (Figure 30).
• 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 (Figure 31).
