Seaming problems that can occur when you first receive your seamer
Seamers should arrive calibrated and ready to use. If you are having trouble with
seams initially:
First make sure you are using the RIGHT handle first. Then the LEFT. Re-read the
seaming instructions to make sure the procedure is followed correctly.
Check to ensure that the wave spring and washer are located properly under the
lower adapter (see MKseries SEAMER DIAGRAM). The base force (clamping
pressure) will not be correct without the spring in place.
Make sure you have the correct type of end for the upper chuck. There are
several can end “profiles” available, and they are not compatible with eachother.
The B64 profile comes standard on Oktober seamers, others are available when
you place your seamer order. They can also be swapped out fairly easily.
