SECTION 13
BEAD ROLLER ASSEMBLY AND STRAIGHT BLADE GUILLOTINE ASSEMBLY
The bead roller assembly is used to give the back of the gutter some rigidity and also
allow control of the back bottom corner.
ADJUSTING THE BEAD ROLLER
Adding pressure to the bead roller will cause the back bottom corner of the gutter to run
uphill. Relieving pressure from the bead roller will cause the back bottom corner of the
gutter to run downhill.
To add pressure loosen locking nut on adjustment screw Z, turn adjustment screw Z
clock wise 1/4 turn, counter clockwise to relieve pressure. (see pg. 26)

MAINTENANCE.
The guillotine consists of a front and back plate and spacers allowing clearance for the
guillotine blade. The guillotine is the most abused part of the machine. To keep it in
good working order lubricate all moving and pivoting parts weekly with a
non-detergent 90 WT. oil and keep all nuts and bolt tight.
ADJUSTING GUILLOTINE POSITION
The guillotine is moveable in all directions. To move the guillotine up or down, loosen
bolt A 4 places, loosen locking nut on adjustment bolt B 2 places. Turn adjustment B
clockwise to raise and counter clockwise to lower. To move the guillotine side to side
loosen bolt F as well as bolt A. The guillotine is now free to move in all directions. After
the desired position is acquired, retighten A four places, locking nut on B 2 places, pull
the guillotine to the down position and retighten F.(see pg.27)
ADJUSTING THE DENT PLATE
The anti dent plate is factory set .030 gap below the gutter. To raise or lower loosen bolt
C 2 places.
