INSTALLING FOLD PLATES & STACKER DELIVERY

Install the fold plates into the folder. When installing the fold plates, take note of the symbol on the fold plate stop (Figure 7-1). The swing deflector may only be brought forward when the deflector symbol is also in the forward position. Lock the fold plates in position with the clamp levers (7-2). See "Fold Pan" section for fold plate setting procedure.

Attach the delivery stacker (3-2) by hooking the hanger brackets onto the round rods at the exit end of the folder. Plug the stacker power cable into the corresponding outlet on the main control enclosure on the pile feeder (Figure 6- 1).

Pull the handwheel (Figure 1-11) to manually turn the fold rollers to be sure that they are operating smoothly. Check for any foreign material, and be sure that the deflectors do not touch the fold rollers.

OPERATOR CONTROLS

The main operator control panel (Figure 8) is located at the pile feeder. See the "Control Panel" section for a detailed description of all the buttons.

1.0Setting Folding Speed

The speed of the fold rollers may be set while the folder

is running! This is done by adjusting the speed control potentiometer located on the top left side of the main control panel. Clockwise rotation speeds the folder up; counterclockwise rotation slows the folder down.

An infinite speed range between high and low is set by

turning the control knob (Figure 9-1).

1.2Emergency Stop Button

When an emergency stop button (8-1 & 9-2) is pressed,

the result is:

Sheet feed - stop Folder drive - stop Pile lift - stop

The pressure/vacuum pump continues to operate. The emergency stop button must be pulled to release before the machine can be restarted. An error message "StoP" will appear on the readout.

The emergency stop buttons are found at the main operator control panel (8-1) and the delivery control (9-2).
