Symptom checks

HidroFOK Troubleshooting

Start with the visible symptom. Stop the machine if cable movement is blocked, slipping, unstable, or the installed setup is not confirmed.









Possible causes

  • Visible blockage around one pallet side.
  • Uneven pallet contact or cable alignment issue.
  • Hydraulic drive or mechanical transmission is not moving one side correctly.

What to check first

  • Stop operation before inspection.
  • Remove visible debris from the pallet path.
  • Confirm both pallet sides are clean and aligned.
  • Record a short video showing both sides during a brief test.

When to contact support

  • Only one side rotates after cleaning and setup check.
  • Visible damage or abnormal movement is present.
  • The same side stops repeatedly.

Possible causes

  • Cable contact is too low for the installed setup.
  • Cable jacket is wet, oily, dusty, or damaged.
  • Cable drum or duct route is resisting movement.

What to check first

  • Confirm the cable drum rotates freely.
  • Clean cable jacket and visible pallet contact surfaces.
  • Confirm measured cable OD and setup reference in the setup wizard.
  • Check duct entry alignment and route resistance.

When to contact support

  • Pallets rotate but cable does not advance after cleaning.
  • Correct pallet/contact setup is uncertain.
  • Visible wear or repeated slipping is present.

Possible causes

  • Wrong pallet/contact setup for the measured cable OD.
  • Dirty or wet cable jacket.
  • Visible pallet/contact wear.
  • Duct route resistance is higher than expected.

What to check first

  • Clean the cable jacket and contact surfaces.
  • Measure cable outside diameter again.
  • Use the setup wizard to confirm the setup reference.
  • Check cable drum feed and duct entry alignment.

When to contact support

  • Slipping repeats with clean cable and confirmed setup.
  • Contact surfaces appear worn or damaged.
  • Photos or video can show the slip point.

Possible causes

  • Duct route resistance, bend, moisture, or blockage.
  • Cable drum resistance or crossed cable on the drum.
  • Setup mismatch or insufficient cable grip.

What to check first

  • Check cable drum rotation and cable pay-off.
  • Inspect duct route condition and entry alignment.
  • Confirm measured cable OD, duct OD / connection size, and duct ID if known.
  • Apply lubricant only according to site and project rules.

When to contact support

  • The cable repeatedly stops at a similar distance.
  • Route appears clear but movement still stops.
  • Measured data or setup selection is uncertain.

Possible causes

  • High duct route resistance.
  • Air leakage at duct entry or connection area.
  • Cable drag from drum, route, or setup mismatch.
  • Hydraulic drive power is not stable.

What to check first

  • Check duct route, bends, moisture, and visible restrictions.
  • Confirm visible air and duct connections are stable.
  • Inspect cable contact surfaces and cable jacket condition.
  • Follow the official manual for hydraulic drive preparation checks.

When to contact support

  • Low speed remains after setup and route checks.
  • Air leakage or grip loss repeats.
  • Hydraulic drive behavior is uncertain.

Possible causes

  • Wrong duct holder or duct connection tool.
  • Duct OD / connection size mismatch.
  • Worn or damaged visible O-ring or seal.
  • Duct cut is not square or duct is not seated correctly.

What to check first

  • Confirm duct OD / connection size and duct ID if known.
  • Inspect visible O-ring, seal, and duct seating.
  • Check duct cut quality and entry cleanliness.
  • Do not continue if the duct entry leaks heavily.

When to contact support

  • Leakage continues after reseating and cleaning.
  • Seal or O-ring wear is visible.
  • Duct size or holder selection is uncertain.

Possible causes

  • Wrong duct holder or duct connection tool.
  • Duct OD mismatch or poor duct seating.
  • Visible holder, clamp, or seal wear.

What to check first

  • Stop if the duct moves during operation.
  • Measure duct OD / connection size again.
  • Inspect the visible duct holder and seating area.
  • Confirm the setup reference before restarting.

When to contact support

  • Duct slips repeatedly.
  • Holder or seal wear is visible.
  • The duct size is non-standard or uncertain.

Possible causes

  • Air loss at duct entry or hose connection.
  • Route resistance is higher than expected.
  • Grip loss, wrong setup, or cable drum drag.
  • Hydraulic drive or cable contact condition needs review.

What to check first

  • Inspect visible air leakage points.
  • Confirm duct route condition and entry sealing.
  • Check cable drum rotation and cable jacket cleanliness.
  • Capture measured cable OD, duct OD / connection size, and duct ID if known.

When to contact support

  • Performance remains low with stable air connection.
  • Route appears clear but speed or distance is poor.
  • You need setup review from measured data.

Possible causes

  • Duct route resistance, bends, moisture, or contamination.
  • Cable jacket friction is high for the route.
  • Duct entry or cable nose preparation increases drag.

What to check first

  • Check duct cleanliness and route condition.
  • Confirm cable nose and duct entry are prepared correctly.
  • Use lubricant only when allowed by project and site rules.
  • Do not force the cable when resistance is high.

When to contact support

  • Resistance remains high after route checks.
  • Cable starts to slip or deform.
  • Lubricant use or route condition is uncertain.

Possible causes

  • Cable is crossed, trapped, or pulling from the wrong angle.
  • Drum stand or pay-off path is not stable.
  • Cable tension is too high before entering the machine.

What to check first

  • Stop and correct the cable pay-off path.
  • Confirm the drum turns freely by hand according to site procedure.
  • Remove twists, crossed layers, or sharp feed angles.
  • Restart only after cable feed is smooth.

When to contact support

  • Drum resistance causes repeated slipping or stopping.
  • Cable jacket damage appears near the machine entry.
  • Video of the drum feed can show the issue.

Possible causes

  • Duct OD / connection size was not measured correctly.
  • Duct holder does not match the duct connection.
  • Seal or O-ring condition affects seating.

What to check first

  • Measure duct OD / connection size again.
  • Check duct ID if known.
  • Inspect visible holder, seal, and duct seating.
  • Use setup wizard data for support review.

When to contact support

  • Duct size is not a standard match.
  • Air leakage or duct slipping repeats.
  • You are unsure which duct holder is installed.

Possible causes

  • The cable outside diameter is outside HidroFOK range.
  • Measurement was taken on a damaged or oval cable section.
  • The job may require another machine or support review.

What to check first

  • Measure cable OD again at a clean, undamaged section.
  • Check the machine label and setup wizard before operation.
  • Do not force cable outside the supported range.
  • Capture cable and duct measurements for support.

When to contact support

  • Measured cable OD remains outside range.
  • Machine selection is uncertain.
  • You need application review before operation.

Possible causes

  • Visible hydraulic connection or hose condition issue.
  • Hydraulic drive preparation does not match the official manual.
  • Power transfer is unstable under cable load.

What to check first

  • Stop operation and isolate the machine before inspection.
  • Check only visible hydraulic connection and hose condition.
  • Do not open hydraulic components or continue with visible leakage.
  • Record photos or video of the visible leak or power loss symptom.

When to contact support

  • Any hydraulic leakage is visible.
  • Drive power drops or movement becomes unstable.
  • Manual safety checks do not resolve the issue.

Possible symptoms

  • Repeated air leakage at the duct entry.
  • Repeated cable slipping or unstable grip.
  • Irregular feeding with clean cable and confirmed setup.
  • Visible wear, cracking, flattening, or contamination.

What to check first

  • Stop and inspect only visible O-rings, seals, pallets, and contact surfaces.
  • Clean accessible surfaces after operation.
  • Record photos of visible wear or contamination.
  • Compare symptoms with setup and measurement data.

When to contact support
