    Hi all, I have problem with a feeder on Sm74 5C+coat high pile, no enough air coming to the feeder systems but settings are at the max,air blast, pressure foot, pick up and fowarding sucker. But Still experiencing inconsistent paper feed, what could be the problem?

    Hi sir:
    As mi colleague Turbotom 1052 say, check all air lines.
    And do it is this simple ways trick for detect leaking for air or gas:
    • Fill a quart jar with clean water.
    • Measure and add 3 tablespoons of dish detergent.
    • Add 2 teaspoons of liquid glycerin to make the bubbles last longer, which makes them easier to detect.

    Thanks for the input, I checked the air line and found that a pipe carrying air from the compresser was almost half cut and leaking air
