Checking Moistener Column Height

N66184-UN-27MAY04

A - Moistener Pad

B - Spindles

1. Frequently check moistener pads for wear. If moistener pads show too much wear, vertical adjustment of the moistener column is required.

   IMPORTANT: Premature wear will result if the moistener pads are too low.

   Poor cleaning due to lack of sufficient fluid on spindles and lack of scrubbing by moistener pads will result if moistener pads are too high. The spindles must be cleaned with the moistener pads, NOT the doffers.

2. NOTE: As spindle just begins to pass under the fins of moistener pad, all fins should flex slightly. With new moistener pads, fins near the dust collar may flex more than fins near the spindle tip.

   Adjust moistener column height so all fins of each moistener pad (A) just touch spindles (B).
