Product Guide
STEP 1:
Gate Assembly
Adjustment
(continued)
NOTE
When feeding product with varying thickness
throughout, it may be necessary to turn both
adjustment rollers 1-2
full turns
counterclockwise to compensate for the
differential thickness. This procedure allows the
gate horizon to “float.”
IMPORTANT
The adjustment knob set screws are pre-set at the
factory to lock the knob to the threaded rod. DO
NOT OVER-TIGHTEN! Over-tightening the set
screws may damage the components.
To adjust the gate for effective material skew control, follow these
steps:
1. Repeat drag test.
2. Test the piece for uneven side-to-side drag. Grasp with two
hands and slide it front-to-back under the gate assembly. A
proper adjustment allows for equal drag on the left and right
sides of the piece of material.
3. To compensate for greater drag on one side of the material,
turn the opposite adjustment roller counterclockwise 1/8 turn.
Next, turn the other adjustment roller clockwise 1/8 turn.
4. Repeat drag tests and adjust as needed until equal drag is
achieved. You may need to repeat this procedure after
observing the feeder cycling (refer to Section 3, How to
Operate).
