Idler wheel needs adjustment
IDLER WHEEL ADJUSTMENT
The following is a procedure for adjusting the idler
wheel on the Southworth Stack N Go. Under normal
conditions this should not be necessary becaus the idler
wheel has been adjusted at the factory.
Tools Needed:
Phillips head screw driver
Medium crescent wrench
1 block of wood (2 x 4)
1.
Place unit on a flat surface.
2.
Turn key to the OFF position and push emergency
stop button down.
3.
Remove the 2 screws from the main orange cover
that covers the unit.
4.
Remove the emergency stop button by unscrewing.
5. Slide the main cover up and place the block of wood
under the right hand side to hold open exposing the
idler wheel and adjusting the screw.
6. With the adjustable wrench loosen the jam nut on
the idler wheel adjusting screw.
7. Loosen the adjusting screw until you have no ten
-
sion between the adjusting screw and idler wheel.
You will have some play between the idler wheel
and the left front wheel.
8.
Now tighten the screw until you just make contact
with the idler wheel. Continue adjusting until the
idler wheel just touches the floor.
9. Tighten jam nut. You may have a slight rocking
back and forth, from the left front to right rear idler
wheel, but this is not uncommon.
10.
Now remove the wooden block and lower the cover
back into place inserting the 2 screws and tighten.
Screw the E-stop button back on.
11. Your adjustment is complete
If the wheel is worn, replace wheel.
