Adjusting Seamer Height 1" or 1-1/2"

The seamer can be adjusted to seam panels with 1" or 1-1/2" high legs. The adjustment can be made by changing the height of the outrigger legs.

Converting for .040 Aluminum

The ESE K9 Power Seamer comes from the factory set with clearance for .032 Aluminum maximum. However, the K9 can be converted to run .040 Aluminum.

Preparing the Seam for the K9 Seamer

In order to use a power seamer the panels must be prepared at the beginning of each seam. This can be done with hand seamers.

Troubleshooting: Boxed Seam

Improper panel dimensions can lead to a boxed seam instead of a double lock standing seam. This may also cause the seamer to climb, pop or jump off of the seam.

Troubleshooting: Boxed Seam Tapering

Tapering your panel legs to accommodate expansion is not only unnecessary, it could inhibit proper seaming.

Troubleshooting: Flat Seam

Improper panel dimensions can lead to a flat seam when the female downleg is too long. This may also cause the seamer to climb, pop or jump off of the seam.
