Air water trap (7)
The air water trap removes water from the incoming air. Twist the valve on the bottom of
the trap to drain the water from the trap. The water should be drained at least once a
week. Humid conditions may cause a need to drain the trap more often.
Figure 11: Shaft brakes, clutches, and combi
controls
Unwind tension control (1) knob:
By turning this knob clockwise an amount
of friction is set between the shaft and the
frame, so this will act as a brake.
Tightening the brake will apply more
tension to the material on the shaft.
Turning the knob counter-clockwise will
release the brake and therefore release
the tension.
Wind-up tension control (2) knob:
By turning this knob clockwise an amount
of friction is set between the shaft and the
driving sprocket wheel, so this will act as a
coupling between motor and wind-up shaft.
To release the tension, turn the knob
counter-clockwise.
Unwind/wind-up tension control (3) knob:
By turning this knob clockwise an amount
of friction is set between the shaft and the
frame, so this will act as a unwind brake.
Turning the knob counter-clockwise will
release the brake.
Turning the knob further counter-clockwise will set an amount of friction between
the shaft and the driving sprocket wheel, so this will act as a coupling between
motor and shaft. The shaft will now act as a wind-up shaft.
Turning the knob clockwise will release the wind-up shaft again.
