CAUTION: To prevent possible damage, lift the jogger by the base only. Lifting by the bin or top cover
may cause damage.
Locate the jogger on a solid support. The support must not vibrate while the jogger is operating. The bin or top
cover must not be in contact with any rigid object or adjacent surface; it must be free to vibrate.
OPERATION
Place the jogger in its operating location and plug it into a self-grounding electrical receptacle. The power
supply voltage and frequency must be as specified on the nameplate.
The vibratory amplitude of the unit is changed by a rheostat located on the control. Various deck configurations
are available. See Syntron Material Handling, LLC. Syntron product literature for further details, capacities, etc.
For maximum efficiency, Syntron Material Handling, LLC. recommends a maximum load of 10 pounds for the
J-1-D Jogger.
MAINTENANCE
Adjusting the Air Gap
WARNING: The air gap must be adjusted while the jogger is in operation. Exercise caution to pre- vent
electrical shock to personnel or damage to the jogger. A striking condition (indicated by a loud rapping noise) is
caused by "too close" of an air gap. An excessive current draw (indicated by excessive heat) is caused by "too
wide" of an air gap.
Caution: Do not operate the jogger when either condition exists. An adjustment of the air gap is required.
Place the jogger in a position to gain access to the adjustment screw on the bottom. As suggested in Figure 1,
place the jogger between two tables. Supporting the jogger by the bin or cover, or hand-holding the jogger will
affect the adjustment of the air gap. The unit must be supported at the rubber feet.

Fig. 1 - Air Gap Adjustment
Plug the electrical cord into a receptacle and operate the jogger at "100" dial setting. On the bottom of the
jogger, loosen the socket head cap screw, which locks the core in position. Adjust the air gap using a
screwdriver in the slot adjacent to the locking cap screw.
Note: Turning the screwdriver clockwise will lessen the air gap (to lessen the current draw). Turning the
