WARNING – Turn air and electrical supplies off and disconnect before

beginning adjustments. Failure to comply with this warning could result in severe personal injury or equipment damage.

Gate Pressure Regulator

Figure 5-3

The gate air pressure is controlled by a regulator mounted under the machine frame. This provides adjustment of the gate lifting force. When light weight boxes are being run the gate pressure can be reduced to minimize lifting of the box.

Gate Stroke Setting

Figure 5-4

The machine is initially set at the maximum gate lift of 25 mm [1 inch]. However this can be reduced if needed for special situations. To do this, remove the center roller section and turn the stop nuts clockwise until the desired lift is achieved.
