FEED RATE ADJUSTMENTS

Feed rates of 14, 26, 33, and 63 feet per minute (or 4, 8,
10 and 19 meters per minute) are available with the
stock feeder. A gear arrangement/feed rate chart (Fig.5)
is attached to the inside cover of the gear box.

To remove gear box cover (A) Fig. 4, turn the knob (B)
counter-clockwise. The numbers shown within the cir-
cles in Fig. 5 refer to the number of teeth on the gears as
shown at (C), (D), (E), and (F). With the 34 and 16 tooth
gears in the arrangement shown at (C), the feed rate is
14 FT/MIN (4 M/MIN). By interchanging the 34 and 16
tooth gears as shown at (D) Fig. 6, the feed rate is 63
FT/MIN (19 M/MIN).

The additional set of gears with 26 and 24 teeth, sup-
plied with the feeder, provides 26 and 33 FT/MIN
(8 and 10 M/MIN), depending on the gear arrangement
as shown at (E) and (F) Fig. 5.

To interchange the gears (G) and (H) Fig. 6, or to remove
gears and replace them with different gears, loosen and
remove the hex nuts (M) on the gear shaft.

NOTE:

Always remove the bottom gear first when inter-

changing or replacing gears.

Re-assemble the gears as desired on the gear shafts
and replace the hex nuts (M) Fig. 6.
