DO NOT PRESS CUT BEFORE REMOVING THE CORNER - pressing cut before removing the corner may cause a small piece of product to remain in the cutter which may jam the AutoPRO. 2. Press CUT to reset the AutoPRO. 3. Load a new roll of product, making certain that the product stops against the cutter blade (to ensure proper corner length). 4. Press RUN to repeat the corner or press ENTER to skip to the next corner. 16. AutoPRO User Manual Adjusting hopper gates Adjust the hopper gates to reduce Hopper Gate Adjustment Knob leakage while ensuring sufficient coverage. If the gates are too tight the product may jam in the AutoPRO. 1. Adjust gate by loosening knob and sliding the gate up or down. Tighten the knob once the gate is in position. 2. As the viscosity of your joint Hopper compound may vary from bucket to Gates bucket, you may need to adjust the hopper gates periodically to get the desired coverage. 3. If you are getting coverage inconsistency, check your joint compound thickness and add water as needed. INSTALLATION TIPS Use a roller tool for best results. Use a roller to achieve the best installation results, prevent highsiding, achieve an even taper on both sides of the corner and get a straight corner edge. To use: install mudded side of LevellinePRO to corner. Place a roller over corner and roll with consistent, smooth pressure. USING STAND-ALONE HOPPER The AutoPRO hopper can be used separately from the AutoPRO machine to apply joint compound to other corner products. 1. Remove the hopper from the machine. 2. Extend both hopper supports. 3. Place the hopper on to a 5-gallon Hopper Supports Extended AutoPRO User Manual 17. bucket, making certain the hopper supports are fully extended and hooked over the edge of the bucket. 4. Push the corner through the inlet gate of the hopper. CLEANING AND STORING Frame Cleaning the AutoPRO Notch WARNING - DO NOT IMMERSE OR SPRAY-DOWN THE AUTOPRO CUTTER, ELECTRONICS, OR WIRING. Guide 1.
