Adjusting the feed speed
NOTE
The air feed speed is set at the factory. It requires readjustment only in exceptional circumstances.
CAUTION
Do not fully open the speed controls to maximize feed speed. Excessive feed or retract speeds can damage the air feed
module or cause inconsistent feeds.
The feed mechanism is adjusted at the factory to ensure that the terminal is advanced at the lowest
possible speed. In rare occasions, it is possible for the feed speed to be too slow (if the applicator is
used on a fully automatic machine). The feed speed can be adjusted by means of the two speed
controls (Figure 3).
NOTE
Open the retract speed control first to try to speed up the feed cycle.
1. Loosen the locking nut with a hex wrench. Ensure that the setting does not change while
loosening the locking nut (Figure 3).
2. Rotate the speed control ½ turn to adjust the speed.
Turn it clockwise to decrease the speed.
Turn it counter-clockwise to increase the speed.
3. Hold the speed control while tightening the locking nut.
4. Test the feed speed and repeat steps 1 through 3 as needed.

Adjusting the stock drag
Adjust the stock drag to apply
only
enough pressure to the terminal strip so that it stops at the end of the feed
finger stroke.
1. Turn the stock drag adjustment nuts (shown in Figure 6) to adjust the drag.
Turn the nuts clockwise to increase the drag.
Turn the nuts counter-clockwise to decrease the drag.
2. Cycle the machine under power to verify that the stock drag is properly adjusted.
