divider conveyor belt (3).

(d) Adjust drop off gage (5) to guide dough pieces into center of divider conveyor belt (3).

(e) Check weight of each dough piece with scale (6) as each piece drops from divider pocket in dough box

cylinder (7). Control weight with cylinder screw knob (8) by turning clockwise to decrease and

counterclockwise to increase dough piece size. Adjust until divider is measuring and cutting off uniform

dough pieces of correct weight. Spot check remaining dough pieces and make further adjustment as

necessary.

(d) Adjust molder sheeting rolls for proper flattening of dough pieces by controlling space between lower

rollers with wheel (13) and upper rollers with wheel (14) to increase dough piece size by turning clockwise

and turning counterclockwise to decrease dough piece size. Adjust wheels together for proper operation

of molder.

(e) Adjust end dough guide to properly steer dough piece around conveyor pulley onto pressure board.

(f) Adjust pressure board with control knobs (15) (right hand) and (16) (left hand) to regulate length of loaf

issued from molder. Use pressure board dials (17) (right hand) and (18) (left hand) for indication of loaf

length issued. As dial pointer moves right, loaf length increases; as pointer moves left, loaf length

decreases. Adjust side dough guides to form a properly formed loaf.
