Refer to Section 12 if you need to adjust the brake tension due to wrinkles in the output.
Hint:
If the machine is hot, you may slide a piece of poster through the rollers that is large enough
so that the leading edge is sticking out of the pull rollers in the back and the trailing edge can be
adhered to the top roll of film. Bring the bottom roll of film up and tac it to the top piece of film.
Close the rollers with the gap handle and advance the film web through the machine.
Note: The film should be smooth and taught to the surface of the heat roller. If the film
is not tight enough, adjust the brake tension on both top and bottom film rolls.
