Adjustments & Seam Gauge - All American CROWLER EL-8000B Operator's Manual

ADJUSTMENTS & SEAM GAUGE
Check the adjustment of the Seaming Rolls occasionally. First
check the height adjustment as follows: When Chuck (A in sketch)
is held up tightly against the Ball Bearing (S-201BB), the underside
of the top flange on the Seaming Roll (B in sketch) must fit closely
on top of Chuck (A). To make adjustments, push the Cam Roller
Lever (S-222B) toward Chuck until Seaming Roll touches the Chuck.
Slightly loosen Screw (CY-9LS) which is "C" in sketch, push down on
Roller Bearing Lever that contains Seaming Roll (B) until top flange
of Seaming Roll (B) rests on top of Chuck (A). Now tighten Screw
(CY-9LS) which is "C" in sketch as tight as possible.

This adjustment should be made on both 1 and 2 Operation
Rolls. After height adjustment has been made, use the Seam
Gauge which is for checking the seam on 24 or 32oz aluminum beer
cans with a 300 diameter only.
Use the seam gauge as follows: Remove the Rivet (CY-22R) on the Second Operation Cam Roller
Lever (S-222B). The second operation is on the right side if you are facing the front of the machine.
Run an empty can in the machine to seal the First Operation. Remove the can and slip the Gauge
st
over the seam. The groove marked "1 " should slide over seam on can. The seam will not fill the
entire length of the groove but the Gauge should slip on far enough so that it touches the can cover.
If groove in Gauge will not slip over seam, tighten Seaming Roll (CY-14B) by loosening Lock Nut (No.
24N) and turning Adjusting Screw (No. 24AS) not more than a quarter turn to the right. If the groove
in Gauge is loose on the seam, turn the Adjusting Screw to the left. Repeat above operation with
another empty can until Seam Gauge fits over seam correctly. When first operation seam is correct,
change the Rivet (CY-22R) from the First Operation Levers to the Second Operation Levers and adjust
the Second Operation Roll in the same manner as the First Operation Roll using the can that has a
nd
proper first operation roll seam. The groove in the Seam Gauge marked "2 " is used when adjusting
the Second Operation Roll (CY-15B). Be sure to tighten the Lock Nuts (No. 24N) after adjusting each
roller.
If it is necessary to operate sealer without a can in place, remove Chuck (No. 300) to prevent
damage to it and Seaming Rolls.
