TROUBLESHOOTING
GUIDE
PROBLEM
1.) Turntable doesn't rotate when the foot
pedal is depressed.
2.) Turntable maximum speed decreases.
3.) Stretch-wrap won't tension properly.
4.) Stretch-wrap carrier won't hold position
on the mast.
OBSERVATION
a.) Nothing is showing on the display of the
speed controller.
b.) The fan on top of the motor spins.
c.) The fan on the top of the motor doesn't
spin, and the RUN LED indicator is not lit.
d.) The drive display indicates a fault
condition.
e.) The motor only hums, and gets hot
quickly.
a.) Turntable spins slower when loaded, or
won't reach maximum speed any longer.
a.) The top handle of the wrap holder doesn't
tighten to the top of the stretch wrap
material roll.
a.) The carrier slides up or down the mast
on its own when the operator lets go of its
handle.
CORRECTIVE ACTION
a.) Check that the power cord is plugged in.
Check the power source. Consult the
factory.
b.) Check for a broken drive chain, for
torque limiter slippage (see page 3, 8 and
9 of the owner's manual), or for a broken
gear reducer shaft key.
c.) Check the foot switch and its cable for
continuity when it's depressed.
d.) Check the speed control knob setting.
Check for overload condition.
e.) Check for a loose connection at, or
between, the drive and the motor that
could cause single-phasing of the motor.
a.) Check for a build-up of material under the
turntable and for torque limiter slippage.
a.) Verify the roll length. The standard rods
are for 10" and 20" material.
b.) Consult page 10 of the owner's manual
to verify that the roll retainers are
assembled into the roll's center tube
properly.
a.) Slightly loosen the lock nut on the end of
the carriage handle. See page 9 of the
manual.
Electronic speed controls are susceptible to electrical noise and interference on the power supply.
If the power supply quality creates nuisance tipping of the drive, a line reactor is recommended.
