What needs checking?

Find the checks behind a symptom. Identify the affected part before deciding what to replace.

Grid-bar contact, pressure-plate position and cam-track wear now have dedicated inspection guides.

English search terms. Unit selection records context; it does not confirm fitment or a repair setting.

Unit or structure not confirmed?

Start with identification. These guides cover spindles, doffers, picker bars, moisteners, drives, grid bars, pressure plates and cam tracks checks, not whole-machine diagnosis. Stop and isolate the machine before access; moving or raised components require the specified safety precautions.
