ADJUSTING THE ANGLE OF GYRATION
The user can set the angle of gyration (α) from 0.5° to 2.0°, with the
default angle at 1.25°.
NOTE
Calibrate the angle after making any angle adjustments
(see page 3-8).
Remove the two access doors. The user adjusts the angle using the
angle stops visible through the front access hatch (see Figure 3-3,
page 3-10).
Only use the fixed angle stop for fine angle changes (less than
0.05°). Access the fixed angle stop through the side access door.
Use the provided Allen head wrench to turn the screw on the back
of the fixed angle stop.
NOTE
Do not turn the screw in the fixed angle stop more than
four times in either direction (the screw should not
extend more than 3/8" from the fixed angle stop).
Turn the screw toward you to increase the angle or toward the
compactor to decrease the angle. At an angle of 1.25°, turn the
screw one and a half turns to adjust the angle about one hundredth
of a degree.
To make a large angle change (greater than 0.05°), use the
adjustable angle stop. Loosen the two screws (about 1/4 turn) with
the provided Allen wrench. Access the adjustable angle screw by
grasping the stop and turning the turntable towards the access door.
DO NOT rotate the turntable by grasping the brake disk! Move the
adjustable angle stop to the desired angle (from 0.5° to 2.0°). The
scale above the stops provides a rough means of positioning the
adjustable angle stop. Align the curved portion (left side) of the
fixed angle stop with the desired angle on the scale (see Figure 3-4).
