Solution:
1. Adjust the spacer plates to center the roll of tape.
2. Make sure the tape channel is not blocked, and
clear it if necessary. Examine the leading edge of
tape. If it is worn or wrinkled cut the tape to make a
new leading edge. Adjust the tape channel weight
and feed the tape through the channel and under
the measuring wheel.
3. Adjust the pressure pad weight. See page 15. Be
sure the rod on the pressure pad plate is seated in
both of the grooves on the brush tank.
4. The brush must be inserted so the long bristles arch
toward the front of the tank. See page 9.
5. The cutter may be dirty and need to be cleaned. See
page 23.
6. The measuring head spring controls the amount of
pressure the feed wheel exerts on the tape. To
adjust the measuring head spring, see page 45.
