(A) Feed Speed 

Control.

(A) Readjust the Feed Speed Control located on the air line going to the 

Feed cylinder.

in the air lines, disconnect and blow out all air lines. Remove and clean 

muffler. Reconnect the air lines and the muffler.

(C) Feed 

cylinder.

(C) Turn the power and air off. Check the Feed cylinder and the Pusher 

with Pawl for binding. Move Feed in and out. The Feed should move in 

and out with a slight resistance. 

(D) Feed 

Solenoid.

(D) If the above procedures check out and the Feed still has sluggish 

movement the problem may be the Feed solenoid. Remove the air 

line from air inlet of the solenoid and spray a light oil in the solenoid. 

Reconnect air line and cycle machine. If Feed still has sluggish movement 

replace the Feed solenoid.
