Once power feeder assembly is complete and mounted on
the table, you must test run your power feeder to make
sure it runs properly.
If, during the test run, you cannot easily locate the source
of an unusual noise or vibration, stop using the power
feeder immediately, then review the
Troubleshooting
table on
Page 21.
If you still cannot remedy a problem, contact our
Technical Support at (360) 734-3482 for assistance.
To test run the power feeder, do these steps:
1. Make sure you understand the safety instructions
at the beginning of the manual, and verify that the
power feeder is adjusted and is setup properly.
2. Make sure that the power feeder gearbox oil level is
full. The oil level should be 1" below the oil fill port.
Note: See Figure 1 on Page 5 for oil fill port loca-
tion.
3. Ensure that all tools and objects used during set up
are cleared away from the machine.
4. Adjust and lock the power feeder so the wheels are
held approximately one inch above the table and
nothing will interfere with wheel rotation.
5. Connect the power feeder to the power supply and
use the feed direction switch (
Figure 11) to test
operation in both
FOR and REV directions.
— Listen and watch for abnormal noises or vibra-
tions. The power feeder should run smoothly.
— Correct for any unusual noises or vibrations before
operating the power feeder any further. Always
disconnect the power feeder from power when
investigating or correcting potential problems.
6. Turn the feed direction switch to OFF.
