The Gutter Is Running “Uphill”

Raise the blue-coded vertical axis (bolt "E" clockwise) to correct a gutter whose ends rise above the center.

1 min read

If there’s a slight bow upward toward the sky when looking at the bottom of your gutter from one end, the gutter is “running uphill” — the ends are higher than the center.

Refer to your gutter machine manual before making any adjustments.

If your machine has multiple issues simultaneously — like “uphill” and “into/away from the house” — adjust only one thing at a time. If you’re unsure how to adjust your gutter machine, contact the Service department first.

Adjust the blue station

To fix an uphill gutter, adjust the vertical axis (color-coded blue) on the exit mount adjustment assembly. Raising or lowering the box and rollers controls the uphill/downhill effect.

  1. Loosen the “F” bolt on top of the box assembly.
  2. Turn the “E” bolt clockwise to raise the box and correct an uphill gutter.
  3. Retighten the “F” bolts.
