Engage feeder and rotate press by hand and check that grippers on gripper bar are closing
evenly.
Continue hand turning the press until just before the transfer position from the front lays to

is exactly 90 degrees to the feed table. Check with a block of wood or mull square. Check
that graduated dial reads 85°30.

out with slight drag. Check each gripper individually.
If required, adjust grippers by inserting cross-tip screwdriver in hole in gripper bar
