Power Feed Controls - Grizzly G4003G Owner's Manual

To avoid damaging the lathe, the spindle
MUST be completely stopped BEFORE
using the power feed controls to make
changes.

Power Feed Controls

Use Figures 63–64 and the following descrip-
tions to understand the power feed controls.
Note: Before using power feed, you may have to
reconfigure the end gears, depending on how they
are set up. Refer to End Gears on Page 51 for
detailed instructions.

A. Feed Direction Lever: Selects the direc-
tion of rotation for the leadscrew or feed rod.
The center position is neutral and neither will
rotate.
B. Headstock Feed Selection Lever: Selects
the leadscrew or feed rod for powered rota-
tion. The center position is neutral and nei-
ther will move.
C. Quick-Change Gearbox Levers: Selects
the rate of power feed.
D. Apron Feed Selection Lever: Selects either
the carriage or cross slide for power feed.
When the lever is down and the indent pin
is pointing up, the cross slide is selected.
Conversely, when the lever is up and the pin
is pointing down, the carriage is selected.
In the middle position, the apron gears are
disengaged from the feed rod and neither
component will move.
Note: When using this lever, you may need
to slightly rotate the handwheel of the com-
ponent you are trying to engage, so that the
apron gears can mesh.
