TROUBLESHOOTING AND SERVICE
Troubles sometimes are caused by simple "faults" that can be easily corrected without the help of a service technician by first checking
a few basic remedies.
Before you call an authorized EXCEL Manufacturing service representative, look below for the type of trouble you are experiencing.
Then perform the check and adjustments listed for the trouble.
If your baling equipment is still in warranty, these checks and adjustments could save you time and the cost of an unneeded visit from a
service representative. They also could save you the cost of a diagnosis not covered by your warranty. (Refer to the warranty on the
inside of the back cover to verify what is covered.)
If your baling equipment is out of warranty, these checks and adjustments could save you the cost of an unneeded diagnosis.
For your nearest authorized EXCEL Manufacturing service representative, phone 1-800-475-8812. Please have baler
model and serial number ready before calling.
Electrical troubleshooting is to be performed by qualified electricians only.
