Re: CF531 delayed stop
Bryce, For this reason, I asked Laurie about speeding up or brake disengaging. He confirmed that it actually speeds up. So my first shot in the dark is that K1 contacts are sticking. Imran Malik

Re: CF531 delayed stop
Ok, so here is a pic of the brake board. It should allow some adjustment, see picture, should be P1-Time to stop ?P2-Torque to stop faster. It is a fine balance, the board can wear out over time

Re: Adding smart stand with DC70 to tilt bracket
As you get older flipping the feeder up is more of a chore. I use a nylon strap around the feeder and a small chain hoist to raise or lower it, no risk of an injury to myself or the feeder. Regards,

Re: Adding smart stand with DC70 to tilt bracket
Thanks for the update! I was watching this closely as I really like the smart stand features but didn¡¯t know if it would work with the Felder tilt away bracket. Seems like an easy fix. Well done.

Re: Adding smart stand with DC70 to tilt bracket
OK, my plan worked. I was able to fabricate a 5/8" thick piece of steel to insert between the lift assist bracket and the tilting mount. That provided just enough room to move the smart stand base so
