If these procedures are followed and the problems still have not been located, it is neces-
sary to check the control components; i.e. heat and motor switches, heat controls, and fixed
transformers, if applicable. The servicing by an electrician is encouraged for this procedure.
However, if you have a continuity tester or voltmeter with lead wires, it may be possible to
find the faulty component by using the process of elimination. Use the wiring diagrams
provided for all necessary wire tracing.
5. With the equipment plugged in and switches in the normal operating positions, check for
current flow into or out of each component. If there is evidence that a component is
defective. It may be helpful to look for evidence of arcing or burning. Frequently, a fault
component will bear evidence of excessive heat.
LOW PRODUCTION
1. A primary reason for low production is excessive carbon on the ribbons. Follow the
instructions for removal and cleaning of bands and ribbons.
2. Check heat control for correct setting. Metered equipment has marked graduations on
the voltmeter which indicate points where the equipment should operate most efficiently.
3. Check the line voltage. A primary reason for low production and poor working of
equipment is low line voltage. Have an electrician check the line voltage and add new
lines if there is not enough current for the requirement listed on the equipment name
plate.
NOTE:
The Tornado and Deluxe Whirlwind equipment have the ability to increase
the line voltage approximately 20%.
4. Check the ribbons. One burned out or shorted ribbon will cut production in half.
5. Foreign objects in the head assembly may short a ribbon or create an out of balance
condition.
EXCESSIVE SMOKE
1. Check heat control setting. After warm up, equipment should make good floss at a
reduced setting.
NOTE:
Never run the machine with the heat so high as to see smoke
or smell sugar burning.
2. Check the mixture of the product being used in the head. Use nothing with a
cornstarch base-do not over use Flossine-be sure sugar is dry and free of
lumps.
3. Check the band and ribbons for excessive carbon build up and remove it as
previously stated in this manual.
EXCESSIVE VIBRATION
1. If the equipment is new, check for shipping bolt or packing material accidentally left in the
machine.
2. Whenever you add sugar to the floss head, you should always fill it completely. This is
necessary to obtain a balanced condition in the head and eliminate vibration. Do NOT
add sugar with motor running!
3. Check for stretched are uneven suspension springs.
4. Check for foreign objects are lumps of sugar in the head assembly. Run the sugar
completely out for this.
5. Loosen the spinner cap retainer screws. Tighten and balance the head as previously
described.
