4. Top Ski Adjustment
The top ski serves to fold down the front minor flap and is mounted on a slotted bracket that permits the
ski to be adjusted toward or away from the machine infeed. The ski is preset at the factory in such a way
that the machine can handle a variety of box sizes without frequent re-adjustment.
THE REAR MINOR FLAP SHOULD
NOT HIT TOP SKI WHEN FOLDING
DOWN BUT MOVE UNDER THE
SKI BEFORE IT IS OUT OF THE
'REACH' OF THE REAR MINOR
FLAP FOLDER AND NOT BE
ABLE TO POP BACK UP AND
BE PUSHED BACKWARD

ADJUSTMENT
The length of the box minor flap determines the adjustment, which usually is a function of box width with
RSC cases. When running boxes that are close to the machines minimum and maximum width limits, or
boxes with different flap lengths (i.e. flap cut boxes) it may be necessary to adjust the position of the ski
to ensure control of the minor flaps.
•
To run most case widths close to the machine’s average width capabilities the ski should be set at
the midpoint on its mounting slot
•
With cases that are close to the maximum machine width capability, or with larger than normal
minor flaps, the ski should be adjusted back, away from the machine infeed so the rear minor flap
does not hit the ski before it is fully folded down.
•
With cases that are near the machine minimum width capability, or with narrower than normal
minor flaps, the ski should be adjusted forward, toward the machine infeed, so that the rear minor
flap does not spring open before it reaches the ski and is guided underneath it.
