(A) Feed Speed
Control.
(A) Readjust the Feed Speed Control located on the air line going to the
Feed cylinder.
(B) Air Lines.
(B) Check the air lines for leaks and water in the air lines. If there is water
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.

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.
