Step-by-step troubleshooting

1. Temperature and sealing adjustments

  • Increase or decrease the airflow to balance seal strength and air pressure.
  • Always test after each change.

2. Resetting the inflator

  • Press the 'R' (reset) button, then 'Start', as shown on the machine and the stickers.

3. Power supply checks

  • Make sure the power source is stable and delivers at least 600W, especially at startup.
  • Test the inflator on the intended power supply before large deployments.

4. Clearing film jams

  • Open the film cover and carefully remove any jammed film or debris.
  • Use the supplied blade with care if needed.
  • Reinsert the film and make sure it feeds smoothly before restarting.

5. Replacing worn Teflon bands

  • Turn off the inflator and open the guide with the supplied Allen key.
  • Replace the worn bands with spares from your kit.
  • Contact your supplier for more parts if needed.

Preventive measures and best practices

  • Check the latest instructions at soku.global/help before each deployment.
