Possible Solution
Engine won’t start
Low battery
Recharge or replace
No fuel Refuel
Cold engine Open choke
Air filter dirty Clean or replace the air filter
The engine blogs down or is labouring
not enough power
Open the gate to unload more product. This allows the
governor to torque and engage.
Hopper flashing too tight Adjust to loosen the flashing
Conveyor belt doesn’t turn or is slipping
Hopper flashing may be stuck to belt, because it is
running dry and rubber is heating up
Turn off unit! Manually peel flashing up and off hopper.
Then run dry product through to create barrier between
flashing and belt
Conveyor belt loose Tighten and align
Conveyor belt loose because it has stretched Shorten belt
Conveyor belt frozen to tube from operating in high
humidity conditions in extreme cold Remove conveyor from area of high humidity and
continue to run empty so the belt dries prior to freezing
No power Start engine, increase speed to maximum RPM
Seized bearing
Check all bearings, Replace any that are rough or
seized

Check for sticks, stones, other objects jammed in belt
drive area and remove
Set screw (relief valve) on Dtent on control valve on belt
drive valve isn’t set correctly
Sweet spot is to turn the set screw all the way in, then
turn back 1-1/2 turns. Turning back/out increases
volume of flow, turning in increases pressure.
