Before attempting to assemble and install the
chute, a thorough familiarization with the parts
list, illustrations and all instructions is strongly
recommended. When dealing with large chutes,
we suggest all assembly work be done on the
floor; the completed chute may then be raised
and installed. Tools required:
!
Two 9/16" open end wrenches
!
One 3/16" hex key wrench
!
One 1/8" hex key wrench, provided with kit
PREPARATION
To assist the assembler, all chute sections and
gates have been letter coded and preassembled
with the rubber springs. Make sure all like coded
parts are matched and place each preassembled
section in it's relative location. For low frame
(short vibrator), Section D, install two gates
coded B.
CHUTE ASSEMBLY
1. Firmly seat the chute corners, (13) onto the
ends for the bottom and top chute sections
(26 and 28), Sections B and D. Note that the
direction of the arrows, cast into the plastic
corners, must point in the strap feed
direction, that is, clockwise as seen from the
strap; loading side of the machine.
2. Slide two corner brackets (12) into both ends
of the top and bottom sections (26 and 28),
Sections B and D. Then slide the side
sections (25 and 27), Sections A and C, onto
the chute corners, passing the sections
between the corner brackets, making sure
the brackets enter the keyway of the section.
3. Loosely place all 5/16 set screws (5) in the
corner brackets. Allowing a maximum gate
freeplay of 1/16" between the chute corners,
firmly tighten the set screws on the upside,
then raise each corner and tighten the down
side screws with the 1/8" hex key wrench
provided.
At this point, the chute can be installed on the
machine.
GATE TENSION ADJUSTMENT
With some chutes it may be necessary to adjust
the gate tension to obtain the proper strap
stripping action. To adjust the chute, each pair
of gates can be removed by disassembling the
chute corners and sliding the gates out.
Between each pair of gates are two rubber
springs (34) as shown below; one at each end.
Gates four feet long and over have an extra
spring in the center. To keep the end springs
from shifting towards center, the longer gates
have been notched with a small tab.

can be decreased by trimming the spring length
or increased by adding an extra spring.
When re-assembling the chute, a light coating of
talcum powder, rubbed onto the surface of the
springs, will help the gates slide in and operate
more easily.
To assure that the gates have been properly
assembled, pull them apart and release. They
must snap closed quickly and tightly. If they
should fail to fully close, the rubber springs are
not properly seated. Use a thin blunt instrument
to push the spring fully down between the gates.
Recheck for proper operation.
