SHAFT INSTALLATION AND OPERATION

Positioning the fixed leaf at the top allows the internal rubber element to expand more
uniformly, and prevents the internal element from having to lift the weight of the material roll.

Inflating the shaft with the fixed leaf down or to the side can lead to
excessive element wear and premature failure.
