TROUBLESHOOTING, Continued
#7 CONDITION: Feedwheel will not lift off strap after cycle is completed.
CAUSE
1.
Motor pickup latch (Page 11, Key 99) is
worn.
2.
Motor is dry, preventing motor from
backing up and causing feedwheel teeth
to remain imbedded in strap.
#8 CONDITION: Motor runs slowly as soon as air is connected to tool.
CAUSE
1.
Lower O-ring on tensioner valve stem
(Page 11, Key 18) is ripped or has blown
off.
#9 CONDITION: Tool breaks strap at feedwheel, gripper, corner of load, or at joint during tool
removal or tensioning.
CAUSE
1.
Excessively applied tension.
2.
Strap in use is insufficiently lubricated.
3.
Strap not aligned properly - outer link
coming down on strap.
REMEDY
1.
Check wing of motor pickup latch that
contacts outer link, for wear. Replace if
severely worn.
2.
Add teaspoon of air line oil directly into
motor at elbow. Reconnect air line and
test as follows:
a. Load tool with strap.
b. Press tension lever and allow to
tension until motor stalls.
c. Press valve latch (Page 11, Key 4). Tool
must release tension by feedwheel
rolling back. If tool does not release
tension, problem exists in motor or
gear housing gearing.
REMEDY
1.
Replace lower tensioner valve O-ring
(Page 11, Key 17).
REMEDY
1A.
Reduce air pressure.
1B.
Adjust motor to produce less tension
by loosening lock screw on motor, and
then turning adjusting screw out,
counterclockwise. Tighten lock screw
after making adjustment.
2.
Use lubricated strap.
3.
Align straps in tool properly.
