2. Clutch
Adjustment Figure 15
The two socket-head machine screws (pt#13732) should be just tight enough for
the clutch to drive the casefeed plate under a normal load of brass. To check this, place
the casefeed assembly on the bench beforemounting. Making sure the switch is in the off
position, plug the casefeeder in. Turn the switch to the low position and observe
the movement of the plate. You should be able to cause the clutch to slip using moderate
finger pressure but it should not stall the motor. Alternately tighten and loosen the two
machine screws evenly, observing the effect on the holding power of the clutch. The
correct setting will stall the plate before stalling the motor yet not slip when the
casefeed is about half full.
Note: The rated capacity of the casefeeder
is about 1/2 of the bowl's physical capacity. If it is fully loaded it will not function
reliably.
