Repairing Cuts on Rubber Feed RollNOTE: Horizontal (length wise) cuts on rubber feed roll can cause net wrap to be "pinched" in cut and wrap around feed rolls. This procedure will fix the cut so net wrap will not be "pinched" in cut. If damage to feed roll is excessive, feed roll should be replaced. 1. Locate horizontal cut (A) on rubber feed roll. 2. Use a sharp knife to cut along side the existing cut and make a "V" groove (B) approximately 1 mm (1/32 in.) deep. Be sure to remove all loose pieces of rubber. The "V" groove removes the sharp corners of the cut reducing the possibility of the net wrap being "pinched" in cut. 3. Repeat Step 2 on the other side of the cut if necessary or if the cut is directly towards the center of the feed roll. |
