Machine Setup and Operation
1. Plug the female end of the power cord into the power entry module, located on
the left side of the machine. Plug the male end into a proper electrical outlet.
Turn the power switch, located on the top of the machine cabinet, to the
ON
position; this will illuminate the power indicator light.
2. Feed the end of the material into the processing machine. Refer to the
processing machine operating instructions for information on how to correctly
load material into the machine.
3. When the processing machine is properly loaded with material, adjust the PN
5262 extension arm (shown in Figure 6 above) up or down until the material is
level with the processing machine.
4. Adjust belt pressure with the PN 8449 drive adjusting knob. The adjustments
read
MORE
and
LESS
. The goal of this adjustment is to achieve enough
pressure so the material does not slip. Too much pressure will result in
premature belt wear.
5. The PN 5406 speed control knob is located on the top of the machine cabinet.
The goal of this adjustment is to achieve an even flow of movement of the lower
PN 5333 accumulator pulleys in an up-and-down motion that is consistent with
the speed of the processing machine.
a. Proper speed adjustment is crucial to trouble-free operation. If the speed
is set too fast, there is a potential for material overrun.
6. When the Model 59 is ready for operation and all above settings are adjusted
accordingly, the operator may begin processing material. If necessary, refer to
the processing machine operating instructions for information on how to correctly
process material.
7. If the PN 5508 circuit breaker, located on the left side of the machine cabinet
(shown in Figure 1 above), trips, wait 10-15 minutes before resetting. To reset,
simply push the white button back into the housing.
