Troubleshooting
Every machine leaves our facility fully assembled and tested, however, during transit it is
possible that the contents may have experienced some “sudden changes in motion”, this
can lead to misalignment issues and even breakage. This section will attempt to resolve
some of the possible issues you may encounter with your machine.
Clamping Bar Not Closing
The Foot Pedal operates like a light switch; in this case it is air and not electricity. When
you first apply air to your machine, with the foot pedal connected, the clamp will close.
Depressing the foot pedal will open the clamp. If your foot pedal does not close please
ensure that you have 120 psi from the compressor and that it is going into the “front” of
the foot pedal and that it is exiting the foot pedal on the right side. A simple test is to
remove the tube going to the hose, apply air from the compressor to the foot pedal and
see if air escapes when the foot pedal is at rest. Stepping on the foot pedal should stop the
air from flowing.
Air is going to the machine but it is still not closing?
