5.4 Setting up and regulating the basin
The correct water level for the moistening rollers is controlled by circular levels
on the moisture basin by raising or lowering the two rear machine feet.
Once the water reservoir has been filled, it must be inserted into the ring of mo-
isture basin so that the water reaches the top of the moisture roller, adjustable
by turning the rollers.
See also Paragraph 4.2, points 3...10
The water level in the moistening rollers is properly regulated, when it does not
reach the basin edge. By slow aspiration with the suction rubber pear from the
top of the moistening roller a correct continued flow of water from the reservoir
is controlled. The moistening roller top must always be in the water.
If the water level in the moistening rollers is too high, the mechanism must be
placed deeper and if the water level is too low, the mechanism must be positio-
ned higher, again by adjusting the two rear machine feet.
When the correct water level is set
-
also, for example, when replacing the mo-
isture tank
-
the circular level is recorded by means of its three fixing screws and
therefore the right water level is retained.
Despite correct regulation of the water level in moisture basin, the water may
overflow when the moistening rollers are in use.
This may be due to a leaking water reservoir (no longer airtight, e.g. as a result
of a crack). Thus, the required vacuum in the plastic container is no longer
present, and hence the water flows constantly into the moisture tank and over-
flows at the moistening rollers.
If this happens the transparent water reservoir should be replaced!
5.5 Regulating the moistening of the envelope flap
Depending on the quality of the paper, the shape of the flap and the flap adhesi-
ve, a lighter or stronger moistening of the flap may be required for sealing.
To regulate the moistening, the
black knurled nut must be
displaced laterally on the moistening line
.
A quarter turn clockwise results in a lighter wetting, a quarter turn counterclock-
wise results in a stronger wetting.
The ideal occlusive speed can be adjusted with the rotary knob adjustment from
0 ... 100% (range 0 ... 10).
Depending on the size and contents of the envelopes, the speed should be selec-
ted so that the envelopes can be properly ejected and stacked.
