Field Operation & Wrapper Adjustments
From time to time it may become necessary to carry out adjustments to the machine,
whether to improve machine performance or allow for general wear and tear. Such
adjustments are part of the machine design. The following chapter gives details of how
to go through the various adjustments. Some of these are field adjustments while
others will be performed during machine maintenance or initial set-up. All of these
adjustments should be checked thoroughly before the machine goes to work for the
first time.
