SPINDLE BRAKE ( 3, Figure 9):
Brake
lever can be moved in either direction to stop spindle . When locking
spindle, lever should be moved right or left and then raised. There are no
adjustments on brake so it must be replaced when worn out.
CAUTION
BE
CERTAIN
THAT THE SPINDLE BRAKE IS RELEASED
BEFORE STARTING THE MOTOR. THIS IS IMPORTANT
AS THE MOTOR CAN BE DAMAGED IF SWITCH IS TURNED
ON WITH BRAKE IN LOCKED POSITION.
FORWARD-REVERSE SWITCH { # l, Fig. 9):
This is the motor reversing switch. When the head is in direct drive (High
Range), the motor and spindle are.turning the same direction. When the head
is in "Back Gear"(Low Range), the spindle runs backwards unless the motor
direction is reversed.
kl-NEUTRAL-LO LEVER (#15, Fig. 9):
The lever is used to put the head into either direct drive or backgear.
Rotate the spindle by hand to facilitate meshing of clutch or gears.
Neutral can be obtained at mid-way position, and is provided to permit free spindle
rotation for indicating and set-up.
After an extended period of
Uie,
the neutral position may cause noise by allo\;Ving the
clutch teeth to rub each other. This can be ·corrected by loo�ning set screw (#64, page
34), and reversing the position of the detent plate_ (#65, page 34)
In high speed (Direct Drive), the spindle is driven by tapered clutch teeth.
If the clutch is not. meshed tightly, clutch rattle will be heard. This can
be
corrected
by
moving· the detent plate upward as the clutch
wears. This
is also the reason for possible loss of neutral, requiring the reversal of
the detent plate.
CAUTION
DO NOT shift Hi-Lo Lever while motor is running.
