Checking Alignment and Positioning
Improper handling of the unit during shipping
can cause too much tension on the feed table,
making it bow upward excessively.
A feed table that is in poor alignment is usually
due to heavy items being set on it, or people
standing on it.
Over time, normal daily use also causes the
table to sag slightly. Any of these conditions may
cause atwork to feed improperly.
When properly aligned and positioned, the
feed table will bow slightly upward in the middle.
The leading edge should be 1/4” (6 mm) from the
ironing cylinder at either end and 3/8” (9 mm)
from the ironing cylinder in the middle (Figure
7-12).
