Expert tips- Your Cotton Picker
Wiring Harness
Inspect wiring harness for pinch points or rubbing when cleaning the machine down each day.
Spindle Wrap Prevention
Check moistener towel pads, height and tilt to prevent spindle wrap. Typically worn or damaged pads will cause spindle wrap.

If the solution pressure is dropping then the solution screen is blocking.
