Installation & Startup
Unpacking & Inspection
Step 1ÑInspect & Unpack the Crate.
Remove packing materials
from sensors, tooling and moving parts. Make a visual check to be
sure parts have not come loose during shipping. If you find any
concealed damage, call the shipping carrier and your direct sup-
plier immediately.
Don’t attempt to fix the problem yourself
unless told to do so by your direct supplier.
Step 2ÑRecord Serial Numbers.
If you have not already done so
record, on the front of this manual, the feeder's model and serial
number.
Physical Setup
Step 1ÑPosition the Feeder.
Place the feeder as shown on the
equipment layout drawing provided by your direct supplier.
Step 2ÑLevel the Feeder.
Using a carpenter's level, adjust the
leveling feet. Tighten the locknuts on the leveling feet. (In some
applications, leveling feet are not used because the feeder is
connected directly to other framework.)
Step 3ÑConnect Your Output Device.
Check that product can
move smoothly from the exit of the feeder to your output device
(deadplate, conveyor, gravity track or powered rollers, i.e.). Ensure
that product won’t jam or lose their orientation as they move to the
output device.
Step 4ÑPosition the Prefeeder.
Now, place your bulk supply
hopper or prefeeder into position. Follow the equipment layout
drawing provided by your direct supplier, or the feeder may not
operate correctly.
If you are providing your own prefeeder, continue
reading. Otherwise, skip to Step 5.
