7.1 Trouble Shooting Guide
The items included in this section cover the common causes of trouble which an operator might encounter
during the operation of the T-1000. When operating difficulties occur, the best procedure is to observe
what is happening; then search out the causes; and effect the correction. Make only one adjustment at a
time, checking the results of each adjustment. If an adjustment does not help or escalates the problems,
return the settings back to the former position.
CAUTION: These tests and repairs should be performed only by qualified mechanics or electricians and
at their own risk.
NOTE: When trouble shooting a T-1000 functioning within a system (ie: with conveyors, scales, feeders,
counters, etc.), always isolate the equipment and operate each machine individually
.
