skytribe 17 #1 April 13, 2014 Went to use the machine - bar tacker bound up and stopped gave error code E7. Cleared out the tangle of thread but now I can't get it to clear the error code and every time I try and use it get the same tangle of thread on the bobbin. Any ideas on how to fix.

This should clear the problem. If not, the knives have moved out of place. MELSkyworks Parachute Service, LLC www.Skyworksparachuteservice.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skytribe 17 #4 April 16, 2014 Thanks MEL That cleared it, and rethreading and got tensions set up so its working. When I got it powered it seems happy. When I turn off and repower - sometimes it throws an E7. Try repowering a couple of times and once I get it up and running seems to work fine. The cable look like it had been squished a bit as someone had crushed the cable running from the control box to the head unit. As it looks like E7 code can also occur with a power fault this may be something I look at replacing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
