  2. Place a wood block (#59-3808) under each corner of the VLF Trendsetter for safety.
  3. Raise the Trendsetter, alternating between the 4 jacks so that the machine is kept level.

  4. WARNING! Do not let any of the lifting points get significantly higher or lower than the others, as this could twist the frame or cause instability.
  5. Stop lifting when there is enough room to install the castors and screws.
  6. Check that the wood blocks are still positioned correctly under the corners of the machine.
  7. Install the 4 screws holding each castor to the Trendsetter VLF frame.

  3. Lower the Trendsetter VLF.
  1. Check the position of the floor plate (SCU installations only).
  2. Make sure that the power box and fan box pucks (pod feet) are not resting on the ground. If they are, raise the Trendsetter VLF using the jacks and rotate the adjustable feet down (1 full rotation = 7 mm height).
  3. Lower the jacks until the lifting bars are no longer touching the engine casting.

Note: Do not remove the jacks and lifting bars.

  1. Check that the engine is level.
  1. Place the calibrated digital level (#90-1150) along the casting under the drum and take a reading. It should be 0° ± 0.1°.
  2. Rotate it 90° and place it on a motor plate beside the drum. You may need to open the hood to place the level. Be careful of the p-door. Take a reading. It should be 0° ± 0.1°.
  3. To adjust the engine level:
    • Using the adjustable foot wrench, rotate the appropriate adjustable foot in the direction of least deflection
    • Recheck the engine level
  1. Recheck the centerline position. For SCU installations only, also recheck the floor plate position.
    To adjust the alignment of the Trendsetter VLF:
    • Lift the Trendsetter VLF evenly, using the jacks, until the adjustable feet are all 3 mm off the floor.
    • Push, pull or bump the Trendsetter VLF and/or the jacks until the position is correct.
      Sit on the floor and kick on the corner of the base frame. Don't push or pull on the table or the fixtures. The machine will slide on the white plastic plates.
    • Lower the jacks evenly until they are loose.
    • Recheck the centerline position. For SCU installations only, recheck the floor plate position.
    • Recheck the distance from the side of the Trendsetter to the processor.

  7. To adjust the stroke of both dampers:
    • loosen the large lock nuts.
    • rotate the damper until there is 4mm of shaft visible when the table is pressing on it.
    • tighten the lock nuts.

    To adjust the dampening of both dampers:
    • loosen the set screw on the side of the cap.
    • rotate the cap slightly.
    • test the damper with your hand.
    • adjust the cap until the required dampening is achieved.
    • test by raising and lowering the table and adjust as required.
    • tighten the set screw.
  1. Check that the table is level at both ends. It should be 0° ± 0.5°.
    Press gently on the table while reading the calibrated digital level.

    Note: Some Trendsetter VLFs may require the front panels to be in place to get an accurate measurement of the table level.

    Table levelness is most important at the cassette end, where the pick happens.
    Adjust the table to 0° on the pick side. If the conveyor side of the table is more than ±0.5°, then adjust the whole table until the conveyor side is ±0.5°.

    To adjust the table level:

    • adjust the four bumpers underneath the table.
    • if levelness still can't be achieved, use the adjustable foot wrench to rotate the front center foot and tilt the front of the Trendsetter VLF up or down  (0.4° maximum, front to rear).
