3.4 LOWERING THE IN-FEED RAILS
The in-feed rails containing the product conveying belts must be lowered to perform
certain maintenance procedures on the machine. This procedure must be followed in order
to prevent damage to the machine and injury to the service technician. The rails of the
MPS7000 may only be lowered while the machine is in a de-energized locked out state,
follow procedure 3.1.
1) Once the machine has been locked out in a de-energized state it is now safe to loosen off
the four thumb screws shown in Figure 11. There is a thumbscrew guard on the front
drive-side that must be removed with an allen key before proceeding.
2) Hold the rail in position with one hand while loosening the thumb screws with the other
hand.
3) Once both screws have been backed off completely, gently allow the rail to swing down
toward the stand.
