Felder power feeder tilt-away question

[Mike Stelts]

I just installed a Felder power feeder tilt-away and am left with one part. Does know someone what this is used for?

Sorry, but I don't know what a shaper elevation handle is.

It's a doo-hickey, Mike. Some folks call it a thing-a-ma-jig here in PA, however. :) :D (Seriously, I'm not familiar with the device, either, but I'm sure someone will be able to 'splain it)

Sorry, but I don't know what a shaper elevation handle is.

The hand wheel to elevate the shaper is now impeded by the feeder when in the stowed position.

The hand wheel shaft extension moves it out from the normal position to make it easy to use…..Rod

Thanks, Rod. That solves the mystery. I have PowerDrive, thus my confusion. If anyone needs a hand wheel shaft extension, I have an extra.
