1501X OPERATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS 

MAINTENANCE 

Clean the folding rollers of the machine once every 15 thousand folds.  Do this by 

removing the spring loaded bonnet assembly.  You will need a can of Rubber 

Roller Cleaner and a 3M Scotch-brite pad.  Clean each roller throughly by 

rotating by hand to scrub each section.  Use an old cloth to mop up any liquid 

residue that may be left over.  Also, from time to time the feed tire of the unit may 

become soiled and need to be cleaned.  In this case, soap and warm water 

would be ideal. 

Should the machine become labored, apply one drop of lubrication to each of the 

units folding roller bushings.  A light weight all purpose lubrication is 

recommended for this. 

TROUBLESHOOTING 

UNIT WILL NOT RUN: 

Turn power to unit off for 60 seconds and try again.  If still no power, verify a 

good plug in by plugging in another device.  Also, in the power jack on the 

machine  there is a metal spring clip.  It is possible over a period of time that the 

clip could get bent and no longer make good contact.  With an unfolded paper 

clip, bend the bracket outward to make sure it provides good contact.  If there is 

still no power, call Martin Yale Industries, Inc. technical support at 219-563-0641. 

WRINKLED FOLDS 

Clean rollers, make sure that you allow the stock time to cool (one hour).  Do not 

place the machine on a metal table, and try to operate unit in a temperature 

controlled environment.  If unit still wrinkles paper, call Martin Yale Industries, 

Inc. technical support at 219-563-0641. 

PAPER WILL NOT FEED 

Make sure the paper guides are not pinching the stock.  Monitor the feed tire for 

wear and tear.  Replace if excessively warn.  Allow the stock time to cool (one 

hour) after being duplicated. 

NOTE:  If stock has a slick finish, friction fed folders in general have 
difficulty feeding and folding this type of paper. 

CROOKED FOLD 

Make sure that each of the paper stops are lined up straight, and stack is 

properly inserted.  If due for a cleaning or if you suspect that some characteristic 

of your stock could cause rapid contamination, thoroughly clean the rollers of the 

unit.  Always suspect dirty rollers when any fold machine starts giving fold
