Stream running in reverse

[bowfront]

Roger,

One of my 6060 streams is running in reverse. I just put in a brand new magnet and propeller because it was doing this with the old one and it's still spinning in reverse. Any suggestions?

Never mind I just found the old red rubber o-ring at the bottom and removed it. This was keeping the magnet from seating properly. Now it's working fine.

Yeah, the cause will always be not lining up properly with the brake and bearing ring. The 6060 and 6080 completely rely on this mechanical system to spin in the correct direction. The 6000 and 6100 have a computer control that can fix a backward spin so this almost never happens on these models but if any brake part is broken or misaligned the 6060 and 6080 will spin backwards- this is usually the first damage to occur on wavemakers.
