SETTING UP THE
FLOOR BASE
Front Feedout Conveyor
The front feedout conveyor has two positions, raised or
lowered. It is secured in its raised position by a lever at
the front of the base (see photo p.59). To lower, simply
turn the lever clockwise. To raise, lift the conveyor up and
turn the lever anti-clockwise.
When feeding into a jogger the front feed out conveyor
should be in its lower position (see photo p.59).
When feeding into a booklet maker it is essential that
the conveyor is in its upper (horizontal) position. All the
paper guides, located between the two shafts on the front
underside of the conveyor, should also be pushed up.
Failure to do this will result in damage to the collator.
When feeding into a Deep Pile Stacker unit, it is essen-
tial that the front feedout conveyor is removed. Please
refer to your Watkiss supplier for more information. The
divert catch tray should also be removed.
Paper Guides
There are paper guides at the delivery outfeed both at
the front and at the rear (Rear Outfeed Conveyor) of the
collator.
Their purpose is to cup the set so that the sheets travel
smoothly into the stacker. They can be flipped up or down,
and under normal circumstances should all be down
except EITHER the middle one OR the outermost ones
relative to the sheet size in use. The optimal positioning
will vary with sheet size, direction of grain, paper weight
etc.
