Check end results and make changes accord
ingly.
ADJUSTMENTS:
Should the machine labor under load, the hold
down studs are set too tight. To readjust, tight
en the four studs that pass through the machine
plates and then loosen approximately one quar
ter turn (90°)-
Should machine continue to labor, loosen the
two studs on the lead end of the machine to
three-eights (135°), or one-half turn (180°)
loose. Upward bow can be adjusted by lowering
the exit adjusting screw located on the exit ad
justment gauge assembly. Downward bow
be compensated by adjusting the hold down studs
located at the exit end of the machine. Side bow
is caused by an unbalanced stud adjustment.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUXILIARY ROLLS:
Machine auxiliary shafts are designed to ac
commodate various auxiliary roll sets listed
below. To install these rolls, proceed as
follows:
1.
Remove machine cover.
2. Remove rear section of table top side plate
on side of machines rolls are tobe mounted.
3. If auxiliary rolls are now on machine, re
move retaining bolts and washers. Remove
allparts not pertaining to the set tobe used.
4. Place Woodruff keys on shafts.
5. Select the first pair of rolls which are
marked M
the shafts at the entrance of the machine
(Feed Side). Place the "T-l"roll on the up
per shaft and "B-l" on the lower. Repeat
procedure with roll stations #2, #3 and #4,
etc. until all rolls have been mounted. All
rolls marked "T" should be mounted on the
top shafts and "B
in numerical order. NUMBER SIDE OF
ROLLS MUST FACE OUTWARDS.
T-1" and "B-l" and place them on
11 rolls on the bottom shafts
6. After rolls are installed, fasten rolls with
retaining cap screws and washers.
7. Mount entrance and exit gauge bars to stand,
using slotted holes provided in stand table
top and set entrance gauge by placing a
straight edge along the outer edge of the
auxiliary
rolls; measure
