ADJUSTING THE GATE TIP IN-FEED TENSION
If misfeeding occurs, the gate tip (Fig 7a) in-feed tension may need to be increased or decreased for proper
feeding. If forms are hesitating at the infeed, the tension may need to be decreased. If multiple sheets are
being pulled, the tension may need to be increased. A gate tip adjustment dial (Fig 7b) is located beneath the
infeed tray. To increase the tension on the gate tip turn the dial toward the “+” symbol, to decrease the tension
turn the dial toward the “-” symbol. Turn the dial no more than 1/4 turn and test. Continue process until forms
are feeding correctly.
