088 – Waiting for Right Fetcher In reed switch to be on.

Note: This code occurs after the Reset Bundle button has been pressed. After the machine has retracted the Right/Left Fetcher cylinder, the Right Fetcher In reed switch should be lined up with the Right Fetcher magnet, which turns the switch on. This is what the machine is waiting for.

If the Right Fetcher cylinder is fully retracted,

– Check the air gap distance between the Right Fetcher In 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 Right Fetcher cylinder is partially retracted,

– Check that a foreign object is not preventing the Right Fetcher cylinder from retracting.

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

– Remove and observe the Fetcher check valve. If the snap ring in the bottom of the check valve is missing then the check valve needs to be replaced. If you are unable to push the plunger from the end of the check valve in and it spring back, then the check valve needs to be replaced.

If the Right Fetcher cylinder is still extended,

– 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 Right Fetcher cylinder from retracting.

– Remove and observe the Fetcher check valve. If the snap ring in the bottom of the check valve is missing then the check valve needs to be replaced. If you are unable to push the plunger from the end of the check valve in and it spring back, then the check valve needs to be replaced.

– Check that the directional valve is not stuck.
