10.   If needed, apply a single drop of light machine oil to the inside of the roller shafts next to the bearing

block. Avoid over-oiling as it will seep onto the roller surface and transfer to your paper. 

Reassemble the folder by reversing steps 1 through 8.  Care must be taken when re-installing the right side
cover.  

Make certain the wires are not pinched in the the cover!

4.2  Clearing Paper Jams

Use the following steps to clear a paper jam:

1.

Disconnect power to the folder.

2. Remove the 1st and 2nd upper fold tables as described in section 

4.1

, step 4.

3. Pull the jammed paper out from any area where it is accessible.  The paper may be pulled from either

fold table or exit conveyor

4. If the jam cannot be cleared using the above technique, the fold rollers will need to be removed as

described in section 

4.1

.  Once the fold rollers are removed, clearing the jam is a simple matter of pulling

the paper from the rollers.

4.3 Feed Wheel Cleaning

As with the fold rollers, contamination of the feed wheel will result in poor performance. When feeding becomes
inconsistent, clean only the outer surface of the feed wheel with a clean dry cloth and alcohol or a mild soap
and water solution. Avoid getting cleaning solutions into the bearing surfaces. 

Do not use Martin Yale Roller

Cleaner and Rejuvenator or other solvent-based cleaner on the feed wheel, as damage to the rubber and
bearing will result. Never lubricate the feed wheel as it is permanently lubricated!

4.4  Bushings and Folding Rollers

After extended heavy use, the folding rollers and the 8 roller bushings may become worn.  In this case a
replacement cartridge is available.
