LIP FORMING BOX (FORMS THE LIP PORTION OF THE GUTTER)
The FORMING BOX consists of 7 stations (#1 = ENTRANCE & #7 = EXIT) and three color-coded adjustment areas.
COLOR-CODED ADJUSTMENTS:
BLUE
: Swing Shaft Assembly
BLACK

ROLLER MAINTENANCE:
The forming rollers in this assembly are made from stainless steel. Maintenance is
the same procedure as the face forming rollers (SEE PG. 15).
SWING SHAFT ASSEMBLY (BLUE STATION):
The primary purpose of the SWING SHAFT or BLUE STATION is to control the top lip of the gutter.
Adding pressure to this assembly will cause the top lip of the gutter to run into the fascia.
Relieving pressure will cause the top lip of the gutter to run away from the fascia.
ADJUSTING SWING SHAFT ASSEMBLY:
1.
Loosen swing shaft locking bolt (2 places) to allow swing shaft assembly to slide.
a.
TO ADD PRESSURE
, turn swing shaft adjustment bolt clockwise.
b.
TO RELIEVE PRESSURE
, turn swing shaft adjustment bolt counter-clockwise.
PRECAUTION:
Do not over adjust this assembly
. Moving the swing shaft past its range will cause the opposite
affect to the gutter. The forming box is a critical part of this machine. When adjusting in this area, move adjustments
incrementally 1/8 of a turn at a time. Always return to original position before trying a different adjustment.
