Checking the Index length
Make sure the air is connected, but vacuum pressure is set to zero. Place your
tray onto the bed of the machine from the right hand side and under the indexing
arm, until the indexing arm fits into the second cell row of your tray. Air should be
connected at this point, so slide the operating handle upwards and to the right to
index to the next cell. If the indexing arm is not moving the tray to the next
complete cell you will need to adjust the index.
Your machine should be pre-marked on the
indexing bar with the placement for the size
trays you are using. If the bar is off the mark,
or if you are using a different size tray, you can
adjust the indexing by using the silver and
black thumbscrews on the adjustment rod. To
shorten the index, move the silver thumbscrew
inward toward the drop tube bar, then tighten
the black thumbscrew. To lengthen the index,
move the black thumbscrew outward, then
tighten the silver thumbscrew. If you plan on
using this setup again in the future we suggest
you mark the indexing bar as shown in the
picture above.
