If an extension cord is needed for operation, ensure the cord is in good condition and fits the
below requirements. Undersized cords decrease voltage and lead to power loss and
overheating. All cords should use a ground wire and plug-in.

IDLER WHEEL ALIGNMENT
When making machine adjustments make sure machine is not connected to power supply.
If idler wheels are removed or replaced, they must be re-installed with proper alignment. Failure
to properly align the wheels will lead to premature failure of the wheels. Premature failure may
appear as at least one of the following:
•
Outer diameters being excessively worn such that the wheels lose their factory crown,
•
Wear to a truncated form, or
•
Become out of balance.
1. After disconnecting machine from power, install rear idle wheel so that the inside bearing
surface is approximately 0.06” from the wheel support. Secure wheel with locking set screw.
2. Install front idle wheel so that the inside bearing surface is approximately 0.06” from it’s
bearing support. Secure wheel with locking set screw. Replace in pairs.
3. Loosen retaining nut that locks the upper wheel adjusting screw. Using screw adjust the
upper wheel until the center is in line with the center of the contact wheel.
