Help with LT15 power feed

[wesdor]

I installed the Woodmizer Power Feed on my LT15 3 weeks ago.  My first comment is "why did I wait so long!".  It is great and saves so much hard work, especially easy on my back.

A few details, this is an electric mill that is stationary.

Now for the problem.  It worked great last week but today I ran into problems.  First, even though I took the rope off the end when not in use, it was too loose and needed tightened (a new knot).  Now when I put the head in reverse, the mill shuts off.  It works fine moving forward but not in reverse.  My solution while sawing a very large red oak was to move the head back manually.

I know most of you have much bigger mills and am hoping some of you have a small mill like mine and may have an answer to my problem.  

Thanks in advance

Well, I have an LT15 but I made my own power feed and controller so I'm no help other than open it and check for the obvious. If no luck reach out to WM, they're knowledgeable and helpful.
