The conveyor guides must be set to the bottle diameter to ensure smooth control of the containers into and

loosening the knobs holding the rods attached to the rail and then slide the rod in or out. Tighten the handle
once complete. The correct distance for a diameter should be about ⅛” to ¼” greater than the diameter of the
container.
