1. Open crate, cut
straps and remove parts strapped to conveyors, heat banks, conveyor
sections, etc. Remove boxes from base.
2. Cut straps holding
base to skid, remove nails or bolts from leg sections.
3. Set base in
desired location and level, place a 3/4" washer from parts bag (in
base) under carriage bolts. Note: carriage bolts have lock nuts under
bottom of base.
4. Add next conveyor
section and level.
5. Repeat Step 4 for
the first infeed section.
6. Assemble cut off
unit and board stop, using wooden file handles.
7. Install side guide
wheels, bolting to pem nuts in conveyor flanges.
8. Put long laminate
guide (aluminum angle) in place on left side of P & C frames. Secure
loosely with jergens knobs (2).
9. Mount short laminate
guide (stainless steel) to laminate down chute (black expanded mesh
framework), matching slotted tabs & securing with jergens know w/stud
and square nut with tension pins.
10. Temporarily remove the
guard in front of the compression rollers. Place a square substrate between
the rollers approximately 1/2 inch from the edge of the rollers. Square
against front of rollers by using a straightedge against the front of both
rollers.
11. When board is square,
tighten compression rollers to hold firmly.
12. Adjust side guide wheels
to edge of board as far back as possible.
13. Loosen compression rolls
and move board back, adjusting wheels as you go. Note: conveyor rollers are
offset bring board to guide wheels.
14. Align laminate guides to match
board guides.
15. Dry run to check
registration of laminate to substrate. Adjust as needed; registration may
change slightly when gluing.
16. Mount heat banks - leave
protective foam & board on face until hung. Mount hanger on pin at bend
of laminate chute. Mount control side first, then the power side. When done,
secure with 5/16" set collars.
17. to set height of heat
banks, lock 3/4" board in compression rolls. Set second board
(3/4") under heat banks. Loosen the 2 3/8" bolts on either side
where angle bracket supports laminate down chute. Adjust so that heat banks
with turnbuckles about 1/4" to 3/8" higher than face of board.
18. Wire power leads of heat
banks to top of relays. Bank closet to compression rolls is connected to
left relay.
19. Mount glue on payout bar.
Adjust so that there is about 1/4" overhang of glue on the substrate.
20. Mount outfeed conveyor to
brackets near compression roller. Set height so that end of conveyor is
approximately 3/4" lower than at base. Substrate exiting compression
rolls must clear first conveyor roller by 1/16" to 1/8".
