Feed Table Alignment and
Positioning
The feed table (Figure 7-1, A) is an important
component in the feed section and must be
properly aligned and positioned.
If the feed table becomes bowed out of shape,
or is positioned too far from the ironing cylinder,
flatwork may not feed properly into the ironing
section.
56” and 66” Machines
Required Tools
Bar stock: 1/4”
Wrenches: 9/16” (2)
Perform only when the unit is OFF
with power disconnected and COOL.
A feed table that is in poor alignment is usually
due to heavy items being set on it, or people
standing on it, which may cause flatwork to feed
improperly.
When properly aligned and positioned, the
leading edge should be 1/4” (6 mm) from the
ironing cylinder (Figure 7-11, A).
1. Turn power OFF at the main disconnect
switch.
2. Open both endframe doors.
3. Locate the feed ribbons drive roll tension
adjustment bolts (Figure 7-2, A). There is
one on each side of the machine.
4. While holding each adjustment bolt in
place, loosen its locknut (Figure 7-2, B).
5. Turn each bolt the same number of turns
counterclockwise until the ribbons are
easily moved by hand.
6. Pull the feed ribbons around their tracks
until all the lacing clips are accessible and
aligned at the front of the unit.
7. Remove all the connecting pins from the
feed ribbons. Position the feed ribbons
away from the drive roll.
8. Use a small piece of 1/4” bar stock to
check the spacing between the feed table
and ironing cylinder at each end. There
should be a snug fit.
9. If the feed table is:
a) Not properly positioned, go to the next
step.
b) Properly positioned, go to Step 14.
10. Starting at either end of the unit, loosen the
bolts in the slotted holes on the underside
of the feed table (Figure 7-11, B).
