072 – Waiting for Left Band Out reed switch to be on.

Note: After the machine has raised the Right/Left Bander cylinders, the Left Band Out reed switch should be lined up with the Left Band magnet, which turns the switch on. This is what the machine is waiting for.

If the Left Bander cylinder is fully extended,

– Check the air gap distance between the Left Band Out reed switch and the magnet. The distance should be a maximum of 1/8 inch (3 mm). If it is within the suggested range then the reed switch needs to be replaced.

If the Left Bander cylinder is partially extended,

– Check that a foreign object is not preventing the Left Bander cylinder from extending.

– Electric power or hydraulic power or hydraulic return has been disconnected or shut off from machine.

If the Left Bander cylinder is still retracted,

– Check that hydraulic power is still on to the machine and that return line is still connected.

– Check that a foreign object is not preventing the Left Bander cylinder from extending.

– Check that the directional valve is not stuck.
