Adjusting Product Carriage:
1. Loosen the setscrews on both sides of one of the rollers, adjust the roller
so your product is in the center of the traction roller. Note: the product
must not be too low. Product line will vary depending on the product.
2. Loosen the other side the same way. Note: the same product line.
3. The product should be setting on the rollers so it will roll easily, keeping
the center line on center to slightly behind, and the product line not too deep
in the product carriage. Too deep will cause pinching of the product not
allowing it to roll smoothly.
