MY PRESS WON'T START...

Machines this applies to: Ryobi 2800, 3200, 3200MCD; Itek 960, 975, 985

Check these common causes of this problem:

  1. Is the machine unplugged or is a circuit breaker tripped?
  2. Check all the safety cover switches and their wires.  Don't forget the ones at the non-operator side of the water unit and the operator side of the feeder where covers may have been removed.
  3. On presses with a vertical micro image adjust knob (3200MCD & Itek 985), make sure the micro adjuster is not engaged.
  4. On newer presses check the bar with the three pins in it at the very end of the chain delivery to be sure the pins are not stuck in the up position after a paper jam.

If none of these things help you may have a problem with a switch, relay, wiring, or the motor.  Time to call for service.
