BAUMFOLDER
714 Not feeding correctly

1. Turn the pump on and set air to maximum.
2. Set vacuum at "5".

If you cannot obtain the proper vacuum or air, check the following: A) Clean the pump filters. B) Check hose connections from the pump to the folder, or check for blockage in hoses. C) Contact your local dealer for service.

3. The caliper assembly should be positioned 90 degrees relative to the feed table.
4. There are two holes in the air tube (front blow) on the caliper assembly. These holes should be pointed towards the scribe line on the feeder table below the caliper. When the air is turned on, the bottom sheet should be blown down to the sucker wheel. If not, adjust the blow tube.
5. If the paper is stumbling on the cut out for the sucker wheel or not feeding properly, disconnect the air hose from the folder.
--Line the front edge of the holes in the sucker wheel with the orange tab (the side you put the paper against). See Figure A.

--Lay a sheet of 20 lb. bond paper on the feed table to cover the first set of sucker wheel holes with the leading edge of the paper. Turn on the pump. (Not the folder)

--Turn the handwheel until the leading edge of the paper is past the orange tab. The vacuum should release when the leading edge of the paper is 1/8" past the orange tab.

--If the paper does not release at 1/8", A) Remove the feed table. Then B) Loosen the set screw in the sucker wheel feed block closest to the fold rolls 1/4 turn. Tighten the set screw farthest from the fold rolls 1/4 turn. NOTE: Make sure the feed block has a little rotational movement (1/32"). If not, loosen the screw. Now C) Repeat 1/4 turn adjustments until the 1/8" setting is obtained.

6. If the sucker wheel doesn't pick up the sheet, reverse the procedure of adjusting the set screws as explained in #5 above.
7. Make sure 1/8" flat washer is NOT between the sucker wheel and the feed block.
8. Make sure the sucker feed block hole is not plugged.
