Troubleshooting Guide
Control Box

Remove the Control Box cover and observe the Gecko Drive status lights next to the black
power cord. If the light is red, check Mach3. Click the Diagnostics tab. If Mach indicates M1++
error, the Operator can conclude the Gecko Drive has failed.
Adjusting the Gecko Drive
In some instances the motors on the
Dragon A150 may not be operating as
smoothly as desired. It is possible to
adjust the Gecko Drive and achieve
smoother and quieter motor operation. If
the Dragon A150 is working properly it is
not necessary to adjust the Gecko Drive.
The Gecko Drive is pre-adjusted with
the screws inside the trim pots set at 11
o’clock. The screws have a travel from
the 8 o’clock position to the 4 o’clock
position. If the motors on the machine
are not operating properly Bend-Tech
recommends adjusting the screws to the
8 o’clock position.

3. Locate the plate with the series of inputs where the Axis cables attach to the Control Box.
4. Using a small Phillips screwdriver, turn each screw counterclockwise until it reaches the 8
o’clock position. The screws are fragile, use care when turning them. Do not over turn the
screws.
Replacing the Gecko Drive
If the Gecko Drive has become unresponsive it is possible it may have failed. Replacing the
Gecko Drive requires accessing the Control Box as outlined earlier in this section. Once the
Operator has access to the Control Box, replacement of the Gecko Drive can be performed.
