#7 CONDITION: Feedwheel will not lift off strap after cycle is completed.
CAUSE
REMEDY
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.
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.
#8 CONDITION: Motor runs slowly as soon as air is connected to tool.
CAUSE
REMEDY

removal or tensioning.
