LOW PRODUCTION
1. Check for excessive carbon on the ribbons. Follow the instructions for removing and cleaning
band and ribbon if needed.
2. Check heat control for correct setting.
3. Check the line voltage. A primary reason for low production and poor equipment performance
is low line voltage. Have an electrician check the line voltage and add new lines for all of the
various equipment you have plugged into the electric circuit if there is not enough current for the
requirement listed on the equipment nameplate.
4. Check the ribbons. For machines with two ribbons, one burned out or shorted ribbon will cut
production in half.
5. Foreign objects in the head assembly may short out a ribbon or cause an
out-of -balance condition.
EXCESSIVE SMOKE
1. Check heat control setting. After warm up, equipment should make good floss at a reduced
setting. Never let the machine operate with the heat so high it produces smoke or if you can
smell burned sugar. This condition quickly fills the ribbon with carbonized sugar.
2. Check the product mixture being used. For best results, use nothing with a cornstarch base.
3. Check the band and ribbon for excessive sugar build up and remove if needed as described on
page 7 of this manual.
EXCESSIVE VIBRATION
If the equipment is new, verify that shipping bolts have been loosened and packing materials were
removed from the machine.
When adding sugar to the floss head, always fill it 90% full to obtain a balanced condition in the
head and eliminate vibration. DO NOT add sugar with motor running!
Check for stretched or uneven suspension springs.
Run the sugar completely out, then check for foreign objects or sugar lumps in the head assembly.
