Troubleshooting Problems With Your Fastback Model 11 Binding engine

If you have a Powis Parker Fastback model 11 binding engine you probably already know how easy it is to use. However, from time to time with any engine problems can arise. This description is designed to supply a quick troubleshooting guide for the Fastback 11 that will supply you with some of the most base problems, their causes and inherent solutions. If you have a problem that is not listed here, you should in fact experience an authorized Fastback dealer and they should be able to either walk you straight through a solution to your problem or set up a aid call to fix your unit.

Problem #1: engine Doesn't Power On
This problem can sometimes occur if there is a problem with A.C. Power. Check to make sure that the Ac power cord is firmly plugged in to the back of the engine and into the wall. Also check to make sure that you have power to the outlet that you are trying to use. It is also inherent that you may have a blown fuse on your machine. If this is the case you will need to replace the fuse before the unit will work.
Problem #2: Can't Insert A Binder Strip
This problem most often occurs when the book clamp is not finished on the machine. Press the bind button to kick off the book clamp and you should then be able to insert your strip.
Problem #3: Left Status Indicator Light Blinks Red And The Bind Clamps Re-Open After The Bind Button Is Pressed
This problem will happen if the document is too thick to be bound with the Model 11. You will need to take off some pages or bind the document in two sections. If you frequently need to bind documents larger than 1 inch thick you may need to reconsider upgrading from the Fastback 11 to the Fastback 15xs.
Problem #4: Document Is Not Bound
This problem can happen if you accidently insert the Binder Strip wrong side up into the machine. If this is the case you will need to clean your engine to take off the adhesive that was deposited onto the heater plate of your unit. This can also occur if you are using a twisted or damaged Fastback Strip. In that case you simply need to retry with a new Binderstrip.
Problem #5: Binderstrip Is Not In Line With The End Of The Document
This can happen if the wrong distance of Binderstrip is used. Check and make sure that the distance of the Binderstrip and the document match. This can happen if you inadvertently bind a document with a damaged Fastback Strip. Try a new strip and see if it works better. This can also happen if there is adhesive buildup on the heater plate of your unit. If this is the case you will need to clean the heater plate.
Problem #6: Binderstrip Is Only Partially Bound To The Document Or Is Severely Askew.
This problem can happen if there is adhesive buildup on the heater plate of the Fastback 11. The adhesive will need to be cleaned off before the unit will operate properly. This problem can also happen if you effort to use a damaged Binderstrip. If there isn't any adhesive buildup on the heating plate or internal strip guide then you may want to try other strip to see if that works.
Problem #7: Binderstrip Is Ejected From The engine And The Right Status Light Is Solid Red.
This problem commonly occurs if a Binderstrip is fed incorrectly or more than one strip is fed at one time. Check to make sure that you aren't trying to feed more than one strip and determined insert a singular strip again.
Problem #8: Right Status Light Is Solid Red And Power Light Is Solid Red
This error commonly means that there is a binderstrip jammed inside your machine. You will need to take off the jammed strip and clean up any adhesive residue before trying to bind other book.
Problem #9: Power Light Is Continuous Red
This is a code that indicated engine malfunction. You should try and turn the power switch of the unit off and then turn it on again. If the problem persists you will need to call your Powis Parker authorized dealer to arrange a aid call.
