SECTION 13A
BEAD ROLLER ASSEMBLY AND FRONT-PULL 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 parts and chains 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 C 3 places, remove access cover, loosen locking bolt A 4 places and loosen locking
nut on adjustment bolt B 2 places. Turn adjustment B clockwise to raise and counter
clockwise to lower. The guillotine will also move side to side. 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. Reinstall cover plate and bolts c 3 places.(see pg.27)
