1.Use a spring gauge to measure the force required to raise the right end of the rear upper roller very slightly. It should measure 6 to 8 ounces (170 to 225 gm).
2.If necessary, adjust this force by loosening the roller spring cam screw on the right side plate and raising or lowering the cam.
3.Repeat steps 2 & 3 on the left end of the rear upper roller.
5.4.6Auto Alignment Gate Ramp
The gate ramp is properly adjusted if the screws that mount the roller springs to the gate have about 0.02” (0.5mm) clearance to the bottom of the side plate slots when the gate arm is at rest against the left side plate stop. Field adjustment is usually unnecessary. If it is necessary:
1.Insert a long 3/32 Allen wrench through the slot in the input tray and loosen the ramp adjustment screw. The input tray may be removed by removing 3 screws from the baseplate if you are unable to locate the ramp screw through the input tray slot.
2.Hold the ramp arm against the stop on the left side plate and move the ramp adjustment screw toward the left until the gate just begins to rise. Tighten the screw in this position

5.4.7 Auto Alignment Gate Height
The gate ramp must be properly adjusted (see 5.4.6) before gate height is adjusted.
1.Raise the gate by pressing 9 4 7 FUNCT A↑.
2.Press FUNCT to adjust gate height. The gate fingers should be as close as possible (within 0.02” or 0.5mm) to the input guide without touching it. Each press of A↑ will slightly raise the gate and each press of B↓ will slightly lower the gate. When the gate is at the correct height, press ENTER.
3.Press B↓ to lower the gate and then press A↑ to check for correct gate height. Press B↓ to
lower the gate and CLEAR to exit the test.
