[amayausers] Re: error code

Loree,
Uh oh.......there is a very good chance, from the description you are
giving,  the reciprocator is broken. It is a small set of jaws (for a better
description) attached to the reciprocator shaft that captures a stud on each
needle bar to move it up and down. Either this is broken or the needle case
is off center enough to not allow the reciprocator to capture the needle bar
stud.

Either way, a tech visit is in order...sorry. Better give Melco a call.
