5.0 Troubleshooting
5.1 GeneralMost problems you encounter while operating your Apollo lasher have simple solutions. Read through the section to find your problems, then follow the recommended steps. If you can't solve the problem, then call the factory.
| Problem: | Solution: |
|---|---|
| The lasher won't rotate. | Is the rear gate closed? If not, close the rear gate. |
| The lasher won't rotate. | Is the lashing wire routed properly? Check Figure 14. If not, reroute the wire properly. |
| The lasher won't rotate. | Is the lashing wire snagged on a pulley? If so, free wire and reroute the wire. |
| The lasher won't rotate. | Is the lashing wire pulled through itself? If so, remove wire until the wire reel is straightened out again. |
| The lasher won't rotate. | Is the lashing wire of proper dimension? Is it .038 in. (.9 mm) diameter or .045 in. (1 mm) diameter or is it larger? If the wire diameter is incorrect, use the correct wire size. |
| The lashing wire is too tight or too loose. | Is the tensioning roller set at the correct position?If not, move the roller to the correct position. (See Figure 6) |
| The rotation section needs to be rotated in the opposite direction to clear a jam or remove a foreign object from the lasher. | The rotation section of the lasher can be manually rotated in the opposite direction by actuating the handle to de-clutch and disengage the drive wheel. The rotation section can be rotated bi-directionally as long as the drive wheel is disengaged. |
