I. The machine does not work
(a) Check if the power cord is plugged in the socket and check if the socket is with
power.
(b) Check if the power wire or Main Power Switch (T6-6-40010/T6-6-30011) is broken.
(c) Check if start switch (T6-6-10301/T6-6-40015/T6-6-30008) or foot selector switch
(T6-6-10420) is broken. Check if the wires of these switches are loose or broken. If
the wires are loose or broken, P.C. Board will have no signal for starting strapping cycle.
(d) If M1 motor is broken or the fuse for M1 is burnt, M1 motor will not run for strapping.
(e) Check if any fuses are burnt.
(f) When the machine is 3 Phase, the LS3 might be pressed by Limit Switch Contactor A
(T6-1-10140) or relay K1 or K10 in electric box is defective so that the M1 motor can
not work.
(g) Replace the T6-6-30040 P.C. Board if the above points are ok.
II. Strap does not reach the sealing point (strap returns to the accumulation
box while strapping)
(a) Insufficient pressure of reversing would cause the strap run out from the Feed Ass’y
(T6-1-71000) after strapping or strap is not pressed by the Upper Feed Roller Ass'y
(T6-1-71193T6-1-71194) for feeding correctly. Please do the necessary adjustments
according to part I page 8 of the manual (Feed and take-up mechanism).
(b) Please make sure you thread the strap in right direction. Wrong threading direction
would cause the strap stuck in the arch. Please find “How to load p.p. strap” in Part I
page 5 of the manual.
(c) LS2 or LS3 contactor is in wrong position. If the screw HSS0610 on LS2 or LS3
contactor is loose, it would also cause the LS2 or LS3 contactor in wrong position. For
“How to adjust LS2/LS3”, please refer to part I page 9 of the manual.
(d) The setting of feeding time (T2/K2T) is too short.
(e) The small door of T6-3-20510 Accumulator Box Front is not close properly so that the
strap is jammed and can not reach the sealing point.

(f) The clearance between T6-1-10171 Gear Box Pulley and T6-6-10180 Magnet Brake is
too large. The clearance should be 0.15-0.25 mm{Refer to the following drawing}
(g) The Magnet Brake (T6-6-10180) is defective, or its connecting wire is loose. The fuse
for Magnet Brake (BRK) is burnt. These three conditions would cause LS2 or LS3 at
wrong position.
(h) Strap is too curved, showing as the following drawing, or with poor quality.
(i) Insufficient amount of strap in accumulator box will make the strap unable to reach the
sealing point. Or, too much strap in the accumulator box will make strap deformed and
then it will be hard to feed the strap because the resistance is too high. Adjust it
according to manual part I Page 16.
(j) Feed Shooter is worn. Replace T6-1-71170, T6-1-71171, T6-1-71172 Feed Shooter.

(k) K-Type Guide Rail Hinge Shaft (T6-2-20220) is falling off or the Arch Guide Rail
Spring (T6-2-21250) is stretched, loose or broken. Strap would be out from the arch in
these situations.
(l) The flaps of LH Bandway Ass'y (T6-2-12000) or RH Bandway Ass'y (T6-2-11000) can
not close and causes the strap to go out from the bandway.
(m) Spring (T6-1-72140) is too loose or it is broken. (Insufficient feeding pressure would
make the machine unable to feed the strap to the sealing point)
(n) Upper Cutter Pin (T6-1-31130) on Upper Cutter (T6-1-31120) is screwed too tightly.
This would make the Upper Cutter (T6-1-31120) move improperly and cause the strap
unable to reach the sealing position. You should screw the Upper Cutter Pin
(T6-1-31130) all the way to the end and then turn it back for half circle. Next, lock
HN10 tightly to fix it. (see drawing)
(o) M2 motor (T6-6-30053 / T6-6-30054 / T6-6-30055 / T6-6-30070 / T6-6-10442) is
defective so the machine fails to feed strap.
(p) V-Belt, M-22 (T6-1-70111/T6-1-70112) of M2 motor is worn or the Bearing
(BR6202ZZ) on Feed Roller (T6-1-71140) gets stuck. Both would make the Feed
Roller (T6-1-71140) unable to run properly so that the machine will have difficulty
feeding the strap to sealing position.
(q) The Bearing (BR628ZZ) on Upper Feed Roller (T6-1-71120) gets stuck and makes the
Upper Feed Roller (T6-1-71120) run improperly.
(r) If all the above mentioned causes are not the problem, then please replace the P.C.
Board.

III. There is excessive or insufficient strap in the accumulator box to make the
machine fail to feed
(a) Please check the adjustment for “Amount of strap in Accumulator Box” based on
manual Part I P10.
(b) Insufficient accumulating pressure would cause insufficient strap in Accumulator Box.
You would need to increase the feeding pressure of accumulating strap.
I.1 Adjust the Spring (T6-1-72140). Hook it to different hole on Accumulator Lower
Shaft Spring Hook (T6-3-11170) to increase the pressure.
I.2 Check if the Spring (T6-1-72140) is stretched. If so, you need to replace it.
(c) Guide Cover (T6-3-10220) deforms so that it is hard for the machine to accumulate
strap.
(d) Balance Bar (T6-3-10110/T6-3-10111/T6-3-10112) could not move freely, causing the
strap amount unstable.
(e) LS4(T6-6-10380) is defective or the screw fixing LS4 is loose. This will make LS4
unable to function well.
(f) Brake V-Belt (T6-4-21130) is worn or the Brake Tension Arm Spring (T6-4-20180) is
stretched to cause the strap fall out from the dispenser & get stuck and make the machine
unable to accumulate strap.
IV. Strap is not sealed
(a) Use fine sandpaper to clean the surface (both sides) of the Heater set (T6-1-41000) from
carbonized residue. Too much residue on the surface would cause strap melting
difficulty.
(b) Check if the temperature setting for Heater set (T6-1-41000) is too high or too low. If
the temperature is too high, strap welding part would be apart easily after sealing
because the weld cooling time is not enough. If the temperature is too low, strap would
not be able to melt for sealing. Please find how to adjust the temperature on manual
Part I Page 7.
(c) The position of Heater (T6-1-41000) is not correct so that it can not enter the gap
between the two straps properly. The clearance between the top part of heater to the
bottom of Slide Table (T6-1-20130) is about 2mm.
(d) The bearing, 628ZZ (BR628ZZ) of LH, Block Arm (T6-1-33110) and Center Block Arm
(T6-1-32110) is broken.

(e) The screw HBS0620S of Slide Table (T6-1-20130) is loose.
(f) The position of RH Bandway Ass'y (T6-2-11000) is too forward or too backward. This
results in the sealing joint area being too small and being apart. Adjust the assembling
of the bandway to increase the sealing joint area.
(g) Heater Transformer Ass'y (T6-6-10171/T6-6-10172) is defective or the 15A fuse
(T6-6-40007) is burnt. This would cause no power to the heater transformer for
heating up. If the heater is broken, it would not be able to melt strap because the
temperature is too low.
V. Insufficient tension
(a) Increase the tension by adjusting the knob (T6-1-63001).
(b) The package is smaller than the minimum package requirement for the machine.
(c) It could be caused by incomplete reversing. Please refer to Technical Q&A VII for
solving this problem.
(d) The teeth of Tension Jaw Set (T6-1-62000) are worn or there is too much debris inside
the teeth. If the spring pin on Tension Jaw Set (T6-1-62000) is broken, it would cause
insufficient tension as well.
(e) The package is too fluffy. Because the stroke for tension arm is fixed, this will result in
insufficient tension.
(f) Spring Pin 6*45 (SP0645) is curved or broken.
(g) The top of T6-1-63018 Tension Adjust Cam Lock is worn, causing Stopper (T6-1-63017)
to move and the insufficient tension.
(h) If all of the above mentioned points are not the causes, please replace the P.C. Board.
VI. Strap is not cut off completely
(a) Lower Cutter (T6-1-32130) is worn. Please replace it.
(b) Upper Cutter (T6-1-31120) is worn. Please replace it.
VII. The strap is sealed but without reverse or reversing is not complete
(a) The pressure for feeding/reversing is too high or too low. It would make the machine
not easy to do reversing under such condition. Please refer to “feed and take-up
mechanism” for adjustments on Part I page 8 of manual.
(b) The problem may be caused by too much debris. Please clean the debris between Feed
Roller (T6-1-71140) and Feed Shooter (T6-1-71170).

(c) V-Belt, M-22 (T6-1-70111/T6-1-70112) of M2 motor is worn or the bearing (BR6202ZZ)
on Feed Roller (T6-1-71140) gets stuck. Both would make Feed Roller (T6-1-71140)
difficult for running and then the machine has incomplete reversing problem.
(d) Wrong position of LS1 Limit Cam would make LH Bandway Flap (T6-2-12120) open
too late or even not open. This would result in reversing problem. Please check Part I
page 9 of manual to adjust no. 33 & no.34 to make no.41 stop at the right position.
(e) LS1 (T6-6-10360) is broken. Please replace it.
(f) The setting of T1/K1T in electric box is too short so that the tension is not enough.
(g) VR for reversing (T6-6-30049) is broken (single phase machine) or K1T (T6-6-50210) is
broken (3 phase machine).
(h) If all of the above mentioned points are not the causes, then please replace the P.C.
Board.
