weight of the bar feed system is evenly distributed over the 12 support points.
3. Turn the screws (C) until they evenly touch the pads with an equal pressure on each pad.
4. Using a bubble level indicator level the bar feeder using the adjusting the leveling screws (C).
5. Loosen the lock nuts (D) and make sure that the central screws (E) of the front and rear feet
are supported. Loosen all locking screws (F).

apparatus. Always maintain even pressure from the leveling screws to each leveling pad.
8. When the alignment is satisfactory, tighten all locking screws (F) and nuts (D). Check the
alignment and, if necessary, make the fine adjustment with the screws (C).
