Appendix B - Calibrate Pile High Control
Provision is made for raising the pile more or less quickly to compensate for various sizes
and thickness of stock. The ratchet mechanism used to raise the pile can be adjusted to
provide a 1/32”, 1/16” or 3/32” rise per engagement of the ratchet.
To time the feeder for 1/32” or 1/16” rise, remove the cover; position the crank gear and lift
operating arm as shown above. With the lift operating arm in hole A, the ratchet pawl will
move the ratchet two teeth and raise the pawl 1/16”. Be sure the pile height screw is not in
contact with the stock. Adjust the lift stem adjusting nut so the latch pin is just 1/32” above
the pawl lever latch. Loosen the latch pin adjusting screw and position the latch pin 1/32”
away from the pawl lever latch as shown.
When the latch is in the proper position, tighten the latch pin adjusting screw.
A bent wire is mounted on the casting next to the ratchet pawl (not shown). This wire may
be positioned so the free end is under the pawl. With the wire under the pawl, only one tooth
of the ratchet will be engaged, providing only 1/32” rise or vice versa, entails merely moving
the wire. No other adjustments are necessary.
An operator may have previously bent this wire up or down, but by operating the machine a
short time with the feeder empty or with the pile lowered, you will quickly see how the wire
must be adjusted to properly perform its function.
