“BELT SPEED” push wheel switch
In normal operation, this switch enables the operator to adjust the speed of the gathering
belts. The belt speed can be adjusted from a setting of zero to fifteen. In normal operation,
each speed setting is approximately 15 percent faster than the previous setting (see table
below for approximate values). A proper speed setting should pull the product 1”-2” ahead
of the flight and finish tying as the flight catches up with the product. If the Servo Tyer is
setup so that the belt speed automatically adjusts to compensate for conveyor speed
changes (pg. 66), this switch provides a fine adjustment for conveyor speed.
