flow controls must be done. Adjust the slide advance stops for 3/8" minimum spring pre-
load on the spindles when the fastener is secure (Refer to assembly drawing). Ensure that
the spindle assembly does not fully compress during any phase of the powerhead advance.
Setting of the flow controls is done with cycle time in mind. The speed of the slides should
be set at a smooth and even movement. The cylinder cushions and shock absorbers, if pro-
vided, should be set to avoid any slamming at the end of the stroke.
