years of operation. If you notice the feed track is
sagging and making a "slapping" sound during
operation, the feed track may require tensioning.

To reduce risk of shock or
accidental startup, always
disconnect and lock-out
machine from power before
adjustments, maintenance,
or service.
To tension feed track:
1. DISCONNECT AND LOCK-OUT MACHINE
FROM POWER!
2. Measure length of both compression springs
to establish baselines.
3. Turn lock nut (see Figure 132) on one side of
machine to increase or decrease tension.
— Turn lock nut clockwise to compress spring
and increase feed track tension.
— Turn lock nut counterclockwise to release
spring and decrease feed track tension.
IMPORTANT: Turn lock nut in measurable
increments (i.e. quarter-turns or half-turns).
4. Repeat Step 3 on lock nut on other side of
machine.
IMPORTANT: Turn second lock nut same
amount of turns as first lock nut.
5. Measure spring again to ensure both springs
are adjusted equally.
6. Connect machine to power and run feed track
to check adjustment.
7. Repeat Steps 2-6 until correct feed track ten-
sion is achieved.
