Knudson Gutter Machine Operating & Maintenance Troubleshooting Guide
-
Check to make sure the Knudson Gutter Machine is properly configured for use. This means making sure it is properly connected to an active power source -- if the breaker has tripped, reset it -- and ensuring that wires are not frayed or otherwise damaged. You should also position the forward/reverse switch to the forward position to arm it for use and place runout stands 6 feet from the machine and at 6-foot intervals.
-
Keep the machine away from wet conditions, which can potentially play havoc with the electronics. If using outdoors, keep it free of moisture or precipitation.
-
Inspect a sample of gutter about 8 feet long for proper form. Look for any scratches or faults from the rollers or any other damage. Check the rollers for proper alignment if there is a problem in the gutter sample.
-
Check the positioning of entrance guides on the Knudson Gutter Machine, as this can often be the cause of structural faults with the end product.
