If bottom piece of product does not move freely,
then the gate assembly is too tight. This can lead
to premature wear of the O-rings or feed belts.
Excessive lowering of the gate assembly can
damage product or lead to premature wear of the
O-rings or feed belts.
A wider gap between product and belt provides
the highest tolerance for curled and bent edges.

Using One-Piece Thickness of Product to Set Gap
Adjusting Gate Assembly for Correct Gap
Lifting Gate Assembly Upward to Insert Product
Feeding problems will occur with either too much
product in the hopper, or too large a gap between
the gate assembly and the product.
Procedure
To adjust the gate assembly for proper gap:
1. Slide a single sheet of test product under the gate assembly.
It may be necessary to pull up on the adjustment knob to allow
the piece to be inserted.
2. Test the piece for clearance. Grasp the product with two hands
and slide it front-to-back under the gate assembly. A proper
adjustment allows a slight amount of drag on the top of the
piece.
3. Adjust the knob on the gate assembly until the piece has the
desired drag. Turn the knob clockwise to increase clearance or
counterclockwise to decrease clearance.
4. Repeat the drag tests and adjust as needed to achieve accept -
able clearance.
