Damage to the motor due to improper power connection will void the warranty. Please use the motor specific instructions provided with your motors. If they were not included, please email us, call us or visit our website for the specific motor instructions.

Causes for material walk-off are out of level brackets, but most commonly caused variations in material thickness or less common, the material can be slightly misaligned to the tube.
