• Wipe down the exposed rollers until contaminates no longer appear on the cloth. Rotate the rollers by
hand and continue cleaning until all the roller surfaces are clean
(See figure #24 for manual spinning of
rollers)
.
• If the surface of the rollers becomes glazed or shiny, it may be necessary to return them to a dull luster
by using a lightly abrasive scouring pad such as
3M Scotchbrite®.
Do not use metal scouring
pads such as steel wool, as damage to the rollers
or bushings may result.
• Re-install the Upper Guide Assembly in the
reverse order as described in the first step.
4.2 Clearing Paper Jams
Use the following steps to clear a paper jam:
• Remove top guide assembly
(see figure #23)
.
• Manually rotate rollers “turning” the jam out if
possible
(see figure #24)
.
• In the case of a severe jam, it may be necessary to remove each folding table by disengaging it off of its
mounting pin and pulling it out of folder
(see figure #14)
.
4.3 Feed Wheel
As with the fold rollers, contamination of the feed wheel may cause problems. When feeding becomes
inconsistent, clean with
Martin Yale Rubber Roller Cleaner and Rejuvenator
and a soft cloth as described
above.
4.4 Bushings
If the machine becomes sluggish, clean the fold rollers as outlined in 4.1 above and remove any
contaminants from the ends of the shafts and bushings. Lubricate all bushings and shafts with one drop of
common household machine oil (i.e. sewing machine oil) on the shaft where it enters the bushing (2 per
shaft).
CAUTION: Do not allow oil to come in contact with the folding rollers. If oil is spilled on
the folding rollers, remove immediately with
Martin Yale Rubber Roller Cleaner and Rejuvenator.
5.0 Troubleshooting
5.1 Machine will not run
5.1.1 Circuit Breaker has tripped
If the machine has jammed while folding, turn it off for about 10 minutes to allow thermal
breaker to cool and reset.
WARNING! Motor will start automatically once it cools. Always
turn machine off to allow cooling so as to avoid automatic starts.
5.1.2 Dead
receptacle
Try Folder in known good receptacle.
5.1.3 Electrical
Malfunction
Have AutoFolder serviced by a qualified technician. Call Martin Yale customer service at (260)-
563-0641 if further assistance is needed.
5.2 Paper will not feed
5.2.1 Paper guides are too tight
Adjust the paper guides so that a sheet slides freely between them. Review section 2.3.
5.2.2 Paper stack is not properly fanned
Review section 3.1 along with
figure #20
and
figure#21
.
5.2.3 Feed roller is contaminated
Clean the feed roller as outlined in section 4.3 of this manual.
5.2.4 Static electricity buildup
Fan or jog the paper to loosen the stack.
Martin Yale Static Eliminator Spray
may be used-
liberally spray over paper edges, feed tables, fold tables, and receiving tray.
5.2.5 Retarder roller has developed a flat wear area
Remove the feed table and lay upside down to gain access to the retarder bracket. Loosen nut on
retarding locking screw and turn retarder to expose a new surface.
Note: Always turn retarder
Manually rotate
rollers by spinning
the center rubber
roller, and one of
the rollers next to it
together.
