1604 Lever Up!

[Joop]

Hey folks, I was using my 1604 last night and when loading some material, I noticed that it took a longer than usual for the "lever up" message on the display to go away. At the end of the night I went to switch materials again, and the "Lever Up" message did not go away!
I pulled up the lever and down again, but it just keeps thinking that the lever is still in the up position. I even tried to power down the machine and restart it but that didn't work either. Oh and when I hit the power button to shut it off, it didn't go off... I had to pull the plug (yes another issue).
If anyone can help me and my machine... it is now just sitting there NOT cleaning itself!!! Thanks!

Okay this happens to me all the time. Look slightly to the left of the printing head and there is a little metal piece (kinda looks like a shoehorn) that helps hold the material in place. It will get hung sometimes when you are loading and unloading a lot of material. Just take a weeding tool or screwdriver and push it back to where it needs to be.

 

[Joop]

Hey thanks for the info... but I don't see the piece that you are speaking of... is it ON the print carriage? not? where is it in relation to the sponge?

Can you show a picture of what you describe ?

 

[Joop]

yeah, a pic would be great... or does anyone know what he is talking about? still can't find it.

 

[Stealth Ryder]

Huh.... There is a sensor that controls this...

 

[Joop]

bump

 

[OneUpTenn]

Oh sorry guys, just now saw this again. Okay it is about 8 inches to the left of the print head on the 64" printer.

The first picture is from the front of the machine. The 2nd picture is the piece in the correct postiton taken from the back of the machine.

The third pic is from the back also with me moving the piece down in the incorrect position.

Hummmm, that pic to the left looks like a Falcon Outdoor. I thought we were discussing a Valejet?

 

[Joop]

Yeah, I don't see what you are seeing. This is about the ValuJet 1604... Thanks for the pics anyway. But Stealth Ryder is right, my valujet doesn't look like that.

 

[ProWraps]

thats not a valuejet. thats a falcon outdoor.

 

[Compilla]

thats not a valuejet. thats a falcon outdoor.

Ditto

 

[Joop]

...so... nobody with a valuejet has had this problem? I'll have to call mutoh direct when I get back to the office... hopefully they will know what to do!

 

[OneUpTenn]

It is indeed a Falcon outdoor. I have never seen a Valuejet in person. Thought they might be similiar. Sorry. I was just trying to help. Hope you get it figured out.

Go Vols!!! haha
