12. Troubleshooting
12.1 General troubleshooting
PROBLEM: SOLUTION:
1. Weighing display
won’t work properly
Check Section 12.2 on weighing.
2. VFC-Door does not move Check hydraulic hoses and that valves are open.
Check tractor hydraulic oil level.
Check ram condition and pins are secure.
3. VFC-Door drops during mixing Insufficient hydraulic pressure
– check spool valve
on tractor or fit non return valve in line.
Check ram for signs of leakage.
4. VFC-Door closes unevenly/sticks Rams operating out of sequence
– operate door to
fully open position and hold level to allow oil by-
pass the ram when fully open and level door
–
Repeat on fully closed, until door is even.
5. Excessive shear bolt breakage Machine overloaded.
Driving chain too loose
– check condition and adjust
idler springs.
Feed-out too fast
– open feed-out door slowly at first
then open fully.
Turn paddle a few turns before opening the feed out
door to avoid huge load on machine, especially after
feed has settled in body of machine.
Run machine slower.
For non-Bale handler models never load bales
directly down on paddle in one go
– always chop up
into at least 4 pieces.
6. Noisy operation Oil chains liberally
– adjust tension on chains.
Grease all nipples.
Check chain alignment.
7. Feed is not mixed properly Insufficient mixing time.
Loading materials in wrong order.
Not enough time given for chopping.
Overloading of machine.
8. Feed out is too slow Check condition of paddle rubbers.
Slow down tractor ground speed.
Reduce engine revs to give paddle more time to push
material into auger. Ensure material is fully chopped
before unloading.
