Test Run
Loose hair, clothing, or
jewelry could get caught
in machinery and cause
serious personal injury.
Keep these items away
from moving parts at all times to reduce this risk.
Once the assembly is complete, test run your power feeder to make sure it runs properly and is ready for regular operation. The test run consists of verifying that the motor powers up and runs correctly, and that the rollers operate.

6.Connect the power feeder to the power source.
7.Push the feed direction rocker switch to the left or right.
8.Pull the speed dial out until it stops and the power feeder will slowly turn. The power feed should run slowly and smoothly with little or no vibration.
9.Slowly turn the speed dial clockwise. The speed of the wheels should increase respec- tively.
10.Turn the speed dial back to zero, push the rocker switch to the other direction, and turn the speed dial clockwise again until the wheels turn. The wheels should turn the opposite direction from before.
