LOADING AND THREADING
Place the piece goods bar through the roll core and secure
the bar to the roll.
For machines equipped with optional roll-aid device; raise
roll onto roll-aid and insert rear end of bar into rear upright,
then front of bar into R.B.A. (front upright). The shifter
groove on the bar must rest on the upright bearings for
proper operation.
Adjust thumbscrew on roll brake until tension on bar
prevents free spinning of piece goods roll. Secure the
tension setting locknut.
Follow threading diagram to thread fabric through Pace-
maker. If equipped with automatic edge control, make
certain cloth is properly fed through edge control eyes.
Turn edge control box power ON. Press the AUTO switch
on to center fabric. The Pacemaker is ready for operation.
Edge Control
MANUAL
Manual edge control is maintained by turning the hand
wheels at either side of the front frame, while machine is
in motion. Slide nylon collar to approx. 2 inches from
frame, and use it as a guide for edge control.
Automatic Edge Control
Before threading fabric, the edge control switch should be
in MANUAL mode. This allows the operator load material
without movement of the edge control unit. After roll is
loaded and the roll brake is set, turn the automatic edge
control to AUTO.
Edge Control Sensitivity Adjustment
Factory set to be suitable for most fabrics. NOT affected
by cutting room lighting. If adjustment is required the
sensor must be removed for sensitivity adjustment. Each
sensor has a countersunk adjusting screw on the bottom
surface. Turn screw CLOCKWISE to INCREASE sensitiv-
ity, COUNTERCLOCKWISE to DECREASE sensitivity.
Use care not to damage lens of scanner. When relocating
sensor on support, scanner lenses must be aimed perpen-
dicular to reflector for edge control to operate properly.
Switch edge control to automatic and test for proper
functioning.
