Troubleshooting
While Scott Hard Roll Towels are designed for reliable performance, minor issues can sometimes occur, often related to dispenser interaction.
Common Issues and Solutions:
- Towel Not Dispensing: Ensure the roll is correctly seated on the dispenser's spindle and that the leading edge is properly threaded through the mechanism. Check for any obstructions within the dispenser.
- Towel Tearing Unevenly: This may indicate an issue with the dispenser's cutting blade or tension. Refer to your dispenser's manual for maintenance or adjustment instructions. Ensure the towel is pulled smoothly and not at an extreme angle.
- Roll Not Fitting: Verify that your dispenser is designed for hard roll towels with an 8.0-inch width and a 1.5-inch core.
