Error

Images are shifted in the mainscan direction.

Cause

• The shell may not be hydraulically locked to the arbor correctly.
• The arbor hydraulic fluid may be low, allowing the shell to slip while spinning.

Solution

• Ensure the tailstock is correctly engaged and locked. Push the shell back firmly until the end of the shell is flush with the flange on the arbor with a small amount of clearance between the latch and the locking ring. Retighten the hydraulic lock.
• Check the hydraulic fluid level. If it is low, refer to the Arbor Hydraulic Fluid Servicing procedure.
  NOTE:Always hydraulically lock the shell with the tailstock engaged to the arbor end and locked. Do not operate the Premounter or ThermoFlex Wide II if the arbor hydraulic fluid is low; refill immediately.

Service Shell command: >>tailstock lock/unlock
