Height adjustment problems may be the result of
not loosening the set screws in the table support
castings before attempting operation. If the set
screws were not loosened as instructed, do so now
before proceeding further. Also make sure all
moving parts of the height adjusting mechanism
are well lubricated, including the miter gears,
column tubes, and threaded height adjusting
screws.
When troubleshooting the height adjustment
mechanism, first check the conveyor table for
level. Then test the height adjustment
mechanism (See Fig. 17). If it does not operate
easily, further adjustments may be necessary, as
outlined below. Following these steps should result
in smooth operation.
Readjustment Procedure
1. Loosen the set screws located at the front of the
table support castings (Fig. 17).
2. Lubricate thoroughly by applying penetrating
lubricant to the table support castings where they
contact the column tubes, and to all contact points
of adjusting screws and cross bar (Fig. 18). Also
apply oil or grease to the miter gears.
3. If the height adjustment feels stiff, check for
misalignment of adjusting screw supports and the
drum support castings which could cause binding
on the adjusting screw rods (Fig. 17). These cast-
ings can be adjusted by loosening the set screws
which secure them to the column tubes. Realign
the adjusting screw supports by loosening the two
set screws that hold them to the column tubes and
rotate to the proper position.
4. The adjusting screw supports located immedi-
ately below the height adjustment handle and the
