hi there!!
i don't know alot about wringer washers & am still learning myself, cuz i just bought one too. but for the rollers to get going, you say that you tried putting the wringer lever in every position but they won't roll. when you've got the lever in the locked position, if you click it back once, that is the position for it to start rolling towards the back. pull the lever forward one click, back into the locked position. now pull the lever one click forward and the rollers should start rolling towards the front. i think those 2 first clicks, in either direction, out of the locked position, are the only positions, that the lever will start the rollers (i think?). so, click the lever once, out of the locked position, going towards the back. and now wait a few seconds for the rollers to start moving. i know mine takes like 3-5 seconds, from what i've noticed so far, for the rollers to start moving. i will take some pictures right now & post them on here, to show you the different positions, if you don't already know them. i'm sure if there is something wrong, the more knowledgable members will chime in & tell you if there is a problem or not. also, just a thought here, are you sure the wringer is all the way down onto the post?? i'm pretty sure it has to be completely into position, with the gears lined up, for it to work. pictures to follow...... i hope it's a simple solution like, you just not waiting long enough for the rollers to start moving. they will only roll in the first to positions (in either direction) from the locked position (i think?). keeping my fingers crossed for you...... ;o) |

ah!!
see that is something that i did not know. i told you i was barely learning too! hm hm hm..... but that does sound like it could be why your rollers aren't moving. your wringer washer must be a later model, cuz i think i remember reading that the safety foot pedal control was added in the late 60's or early 70's. but i could be wrong. keep us updated on your wringer washer. i hope you get it up & running. i'm trying to get mine up & running too!! hm hm hm.... good luck!! ;o) |
