Meter Trip Bar
Trip the knotter clutch by raising the trip bar (see
Figure 101) until the notch is positioned over the
knurl, then turn the flywheel counterclockwise until
the needles are near top dead center (see Figure
110 on page 74). The meter trip bar should have
1/8" clearance from the knurl, (A, see Figure 101),
when it is in the resting position. Adjust by loos-
ening the bolts on the bearing support (B) and
moving foreward or backward as needed. The trip
bar should not bind on guide washers when in the
tripped position.
