b. Lid-Escapement Height
Four bolts adjust the height of the lid escapement. Fine tuning of the height can be done with the wedge-rod in Figure 5.
The wedge must be adjusted so that the can fits perfectly in the pocket of the lid as shown. The wedge makes the
adjustment process very convenient. Just loosen the jam nut at the top, twist the wedge, and then tighten back down
the nut. If the lids are too low, the cans will likely run into the lids and too many lids will fall out at a time. If the lid-chute
is too high, no lids will be picks.
