TROUBLESHOOTING 

 

General 

This section provides a list of possible problems that may occur with the wire-marking machine, 
their probable causes, and the corrective action needed to eliminate the problem. 

 
Use the Troubleshooting Chart as a guide to determine the possible cause and ultimate remedy for 
a symptom the machine is exhibiting. If you encounter a problem not covered in this manual, or if 
the corrective action fails to eliminate the symptom, call Kingsley for assistance.
