1.0 INTRODUCTION Your new 714XLT Air Feed Table Top Folder has been designed to give you many years of useful service provided it is installed, maintained, and operated according to the instructions in this manual. Your 714XLT Air Feed is a unique and versatile paper folding machine, capable of folding paper measuring between 3 x 5 inches (7.6 x 12.7 cm) and 14 x 20 inches (35.5 x 50.8 cm), at speeds up to 35,000 sheets per hour of 8 1/2 x 11 (21.6 x 27.9 cm) and up to 65,000 sheets per hour of 3x5 (7.6x12.
WARNING 4.3 Pump Hose Connections Do not plug the power cord into an AC outlet until the 714XLT Air Feed is fully assembled, adjusted and ready to use. Unplug the 714XLT any time disassembly is required. Two hoses come with your 714XLT Air Feed. (See Figure 4.3-1) 4.0 ASSEMBLY Air 4.1 Main Unit Vacuum To assemble the 714XLT Air Feed unit, first remove the four bolts holding it to the skid. Place the folder on the stand (See Figure 4.1-1). For Pump Hoses Figure 4.3-1 4.
4.5 Delivery Table Feed Table Hoses To install the delivery table, loosen the knobs on either side of the stacker table. Drop the tray over the knobs and retighten. Air Vacuum Pump Hoses Figure 4.6-2 Figure 4.5-1 4.6 Feed Table Assembly Installation Insert the feed table with the feed wheel toward the fold rolls. Slide the paper feed table over both sets of locating pins. (See Figure 4.6-1) Figure 4.6-1 The first notch in the front part of the feed table should rest on the pins.
5.0 ELECTRICAL ACCESS 4.7 Fold Plate Installation WARNING Unplug the AC power cord before attempting any electrical repair. WARNING Unplug the AC power cord when installing or removing fold plates. The motor speed control and counter control are located under the left-hand side cover. The handwheel must be removed for access to these controls. The fold plates are marked #1 and #2 and are not interchangeable. The #1 fold plate is installed in the top position, the #2 fold plate in the lower position.
Figure 6.2-1 D) Locate the point on the chart where the columns for the type of fold and the sheet size intersect. You will notice that there are either two letters or a dash and a letter. These letters and/or dash tell you where to set the paper stop on the fold plate, and whether or not one of the fold plates will be installed in the deflector position. Example #1 ; To make a letter fold to an 8 1/2 x11 sheet, set the paper stops for the #1 and #2 fold plates on the letter E.
6.5 Feed Table Adjustment 6.6 Air Blow Adjustment On the paper feed table there are two guides which keep the stack of paper properly aligned for feeding into the folder. Adjust these guides to correspond with the different widths of paper being fed. (See Figure 6.5-1) Turn the air blow adjustment on the vacuum/aircontrol panel fully counterclockwise to the + position. Except for when very small sheets are being run, the air blow adjustment is left adjusted for maximum air. (See Figure 6.
TOP SHAFT Additional paper can be loaded on top of the stack of paper already in the feeder without stopping the machine. If the feeder runs out of paper or if you want to stop the machine for any reason, first turn off the vacuum pump, then the folder. 7.3 Check Squareness of Fold Examine the folded sheets on the stacker to make sure that you are getting an even and square fold. Figure 8.
TOP SHAFT 8.2 Scoring The 714XLT can be used to score a sheet and deliver it flat, or to score a sheet after a fold or folds have been made. To ensure accuracy in making right-angle folds, always score the sheet where the fold is to be made. This applies in all instances when a perforator cannot be used. Attach the scoring blade loosely to the blade holder for mounting on the slitter shaft. Scoring blades can be mounted on either the upper or lower slitter shaft.
Before tightening the blade to the collar, slide the blade with the collar loosely attached on the end of the shaft. Then tighten securely, thus aligning both the blade and collar, allowing free horizontal movement along the shaft. 9.6 Cleaning The Fold Stop Guides The fold stop guides (See figure 4.7-1) should be cleaned once a week with a dry cloth to keep the plate moving properly. Place the blade, mounted on the collar, on the upper shaft in the proper position where the cut is to be made.
