3. The Motor Controller

Learn all about how to control your Gentle Roller and what the buttons do on the motor controller.

Key Notes for this video:  The new (post August 2023) Version 6 control panel.  [Note: uses the same screen and functions as the V5 it's just a relocation of the 4 corner selection buttons and removal of the unnecessary park function].  

If you are fulling (with the drum), only use the fulling (rumbling) option from the main menu - do not use the felting (rolling) options.

Key Information on this video:   4 setting - Speed, Cycles, Forward and Reverse, how to change settings, off-setting Fwd and Rev, getting into the default settings.

 

The following video relates to the V5 Gentle Roller and earlier versions.

Key Notes for this video:   If you are fulling (with the drum), only use the fulling (rumbling) option from the main menu - do not use the felting (rolling) options.   I spend quite a bit of time talking about 'parking' the fulling drum.   Please note that as I mention at 14:07, the park isn't necessary as you can manually rotate the drum at any time to get the doors uppermost.

Key Information on this video:   4 setting - Speed, Cycles, Forward and Reverse, how to change settings, off-setting Fwd and Rev, maximum and minimum settings, getting into the default settings, one-way rolling settings, parking the motor.

 

 

Key Notes for this video:   Another video on one way rolling (rotation) for those that are in a hurry to find it.
