  Press the spindle speed range lever shown 

in Figure 32 toward the head to release 
the detent pin from the detent plate, move 
selector so that the pin is over the other 
detent, then release the selector.

— When the selector is pointing to the rear 

and the front detent is engaged, the low 
speed range is selected. Conversely, when 
the lever is pointing toward the front and 
the rear detent is engaged, the high speed 
range is selected.

 If it is difficult to move the range selector, 

rotate the spindle by hand to help mesh the 
gears until the selector moves freely.

  Make sure that the spindle rotation is 

turned OFF and the spindle is at a complete 
stop.

  Use the chart below to find the spindle speed 

range that includes the required spindle 
speed for your operation.

Low Range

60–500 RPM

High Range

500–4200 RPM

  Make sure the selector detent pin is well 

seated by attempting to move the selector 
without pressing it toward the head.

— If the detent pin is well seated, the 

selector will not move when you attempt 
to move it as instructed above.

— If the selector does move when you 

attempt to move it as instructed above, 
then re-position the selector so that the 
pin is firmly seated in the detent plate.

 Perform 

the 

procedure as instructed on Page 40 

to make sure the front spindle pulley and 
pinion are properly seated into the bull gear.
