STEP 2:
Determining Stack
Height
• Gradually add more material to the hopper after the initial stack
is formed around the gate assembly. As stack height will have a
preferred minimum and a maximum, you will have to experiment to
determine the effective range of height (Figure 32).
• Make sure the material is loaded in the hopper as straight as pos -
sible. Before adding to hopper, “jog” each hand-full of material on
a flat surface to make sure lead edges are as even as possible. As
you add each handful, gently push in each stack so that lead edges
rest firmly against front of side guides.
• Turn the feeder power On by pushing the horizontal line ( — ) at the
Power
On/Off rocker switch.
• With power On, the feeder motor should immediately move the bot -
tom sheet of material from the stack and through the gate assembly
area to “stage” the first piece. As the photo sensor “sees” the lead -
ing edge, the feeder motor should turn Off.
• Check the leading edge of bottom sheet. It should be in-line with
the front hopper plate and ready for cycling.

TIP
Stack height affects the downward pressure on
the feed belts. Greater downward pressure can
increase the chances for double feeds or motor
stallouts.
