Move the unit into final position and lock
the casters. The endframes of the machine
should rest firmly on the floor. Secure the
unit to its foundation if required by local
code or conditions.
Determine how the exit and return convey-
ors are to be set up. See Figure 2-1 for il-
lustrations. Choose one of the following:
For left discharge, place the exit con-
veyor under the unit with the motor
toward the front of the unit. Place the
return conveyor on the left side of the
unit.
For right discharge, place the exit
conveyor under the unit with the motor
toward the rear of the unit. The motor
will protrude slightly beyond the rear
of the machine. Place the return con-
veyor on the right side of the unit.
For rear discharge, place the return
conveyor directly under the stacker
doors. Position it so that folded pieces
will drop directly onto it from the trap
doors. The exit conveyor is not used
for rear discharge.
Set the return conveyor to match up with
the discharge of the exit conveyor.
