Fill Tray Height
The size of granules in your powder can affect how smoothly dry materials are moved through
the Fill Tray, which can affect how much powder is wasted. Sometimes this requires the Fill Tray's
height to be adjusted.

• Feeler gauge
• Disposable latex/rubber gloves (for food grade products and to protect hands from grease)
