OSCILLATOR
PROBLEMS
|
|
NOTES:
|
|
1.
|
There are no adjustments to the
robot, so if a faulty or worn part causes the robot
to malfunction, replace that part.
|
|
2.
|
If you are not skilled at soldering,
you should send in your Control Box for service
if soldering is indicated. Control Box parts are
small and easily damaged. Improper soldering may
void your warranty and service policy.
|
|
3.
|
If you open the Control Box, unscrew
only the 4 corner screws. Do not remove the 4 screws
in the middle.

|
C.
|
Oscillator has not been assembled correctly.
Be sure top pin of Pivot Guide is positioned correctly inside
the hole at the bottom of the Oscillator Motor Cover and
bottom pin of Pivot Guide is in the corresponding hole of
the Ball Feed Upper Guide. See Figure
G.

PROBLEM
|
|
9.
|
Oscillator operates, but oscillator control
levers jump out of place while oscillator runs.
|
|

|
10.
|
Oscillator operates, but motion is jerky
and/or straining noises are heard.
|
|

A.
|
See Solutions 8B,
8C, 9A,
10A, & 10B.
|
|

|
|
C.
|
Be sure Clear Front Cover is properly snapped
into place.1,2
|
|
D.
|
Examine plastic pins on top and bottom of
Oscillator Pivot Guide. Pins should be straight and exactly
perpendicular to the top and bottom surfaces. If either
pin is crooked, replace Pivot Guide. See Figure
F.
