Your HORIZON booklet maker SPF-200A/L starts giving the error message 1170, the stitching motor operations error.  

When this error is displayed it is time to check the chain that is between the main shaft and the motor. At times, the chain loosens up and is responsible for this error message. 

It is this chain that drives the clinchers and stitching head and raises the stitching head to the desired position. 

Solution: 

To overcome this problem, the best way is to tighten the chain. How will you do that? Well, it is pretty simple.

All you need to do is loosen the two screws on the sides of the plate that holds the motor. Move the motor to the side and you can easily tighten the chain properly.

I have a problem with HORIZON SPF. It keeps bringing error 130, but the cause is unclear. No paper jam or similar.

Solution:

The receiver of the sensor was dirty and therefore showed paper jam in the infeed area although everything was ok.

Simply clean the receiver underneath the sensor and the error will be corrected. 

Note: this area is the same for the following machines: HORIZON SPF-10, SPF-10-ll and SPF-11

If the sensor is defective, you can order a new one via the HORIZON webshop.
