Safety First!

• Before working on the folder, DISCONNECT ALL ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY TO THE FOLDER to prevent the accidental start of the folder.
• Check to make sure that you have the correct tools to complete the job.
• For the reasons of safety, long hair must be tied back or otherwise secured, garments must be close fitting and no jewelry, such as rings or necklaces, may be worn while adjusting or setting up equipment.
• Injury may result from being caught up in the machinery or jewelry catching on moving parts. Take all necessary steps so this doesn’t happen.

714 UltraFold Set Up Tips:

• Check to see if pump has sufficient suction. If not, enough, check the following.
  • Check and clean air filters
  • Check hose connections from pump for cracks and blockages. Repair as necessary.
• Make sure guides are positioned properly. Paper should not be too tight or loose in feeder.
  • Too tight and it will not feed properly.
  • Too loose and the folds will be inconsistent.
• Check that the caliper assembly is 90° relative to the feed table.
• Check that the air tube holes (front blow) are pointing towards the scribe line. When the air is turned on, the bottom sheets should be blown down to the sucker wheel.
• Check the gap underneath the sheet detector tab.
  • Insert two thickness of paper between the caliper tab and the sucker wheel.
  • Turn the gap knob counter-clockwise to tighten or clockwise to loosen.
  • Set the gap knob until there is a slight drag on the paper.
  • Remove the paper and the correct gap is now set.
  • When you load the feeder, the printing will be up.
