Extension Cords
If an extension cord is necessary make sure the cord rating is suitable for the amperage listed on the machine's motor plate. An undersize cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
The chart in Figure 7 shows the correct size cord to use based on cord length and motor plate amp rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number the heavier the cord.
Adjustments
Swing
To swing the Stock Feeder laterally, loosen the cam handle counterclockwise so that it pushes down the pin, as shown in Figure 8. Swing the horizontal arm and feeder into desired position (the top part of the stand will rotate). When the Stock Feeder is properly positioned, tighten cam handle.
To rotate the top of the stand back to original position, loosen the cam handle and rotate the top section of the stand, allowing the pin to snap back into the hole. Tighten the cam handle.
Raise/Lower
To raise or lower the Stock Feeder, loosen the handle (A, Figure 9) and rotate the elevating handle (B, Figure 9). When finished, tighten the handle (A, Figure 9).
Forward/Back
To move the horizontal arm forward or back, loosen the handle (C, Figure 9) and rotate the handwheel (D, Figure 9). When finished, tighten the handle (C, Figure 9).
Rotate
To rotate the Stock Feeder (up to 360 degrees), loosen the handle on the vertical arm (A, Figure 9). When finished rotating the Stock Feeder, tighten the handle (A, Figure 9).
