It is not necessary to readjust the nip band width of the machines in the field. In cases where nip
band width is suspect, please check according to the new standard and adjust as necessary.
However, it may not be possible to achieve the new adjustment standard with the old pressure spring.
In this case, replacement with the new type spring and adjustment confirmation is required.
The weaker new type spring was implemented in production beginning with the following S/N’s:
