GETTING STARTED
Your seamer comes calibrated and ready to go so you shouldn’t need to adjust
anything. If you do have an issue, check the troubleshooting list at the end of the
manual. There are a few things that may need to be adjusted due to shipping,
issues, etc.
There are two issues that come up with MKseries seamers… broken handles
(operation levers) and broken base adjusters. As long as the handles are
tightened into the roller housings, they will last the life of the seamer. As long as
the base shaft is kept clean and greased (see daily maintenance) the threaded
base adjuster will also last the life of the seamer. Both are easy to replace, but its
always easier to maintain them than to replace them.
