ENTRY GUIDE ADJUSTMENT
(Figure 22 & Figure 23)
The entry guides are used to set the material to the correct position in relation to the
forming rollers of the machine. They also hold the material and feed it straight into the
machine. If the entry guides are not set correctly the material will not feed into the
machine properly.
1. The Right Entry Guide is set to the Tooling Rail Marker Plate mounted to the
R1 Tooling Rail.
2. To align, loosen the two “A” Bolts on the Right Entry Guide. Slide the entry
guide to the left or right until the alignment pin which is located at the end of
the top shoe of the entry guide, is directly under one of the notches on the
Tooling Rail Marker Plate. Make sure to choose the notch that corresponds to
the desired leg configuration as noted on the decal on the top of the marker
plate.
3. Tighten the two “A” bolts.
