Discharge gate is NOT 
open. 

 

Expeller is NOT operating. 

 

Expeller is obstructed. 
 

 

Auger is NOT turning. 

Open gate. 
 

 

See item #3 

 

Activate gate to free 
obstruction 

 

See item #2 

2.) Auger

 

will not turn 

Shear bolts are sheared. 

 

Drive chain not on sprocket.

Replace shear bolts. 

 

Reinstall/replace chain. 
Sprockets MUST be 
properly aligned. 

3.)  Expeller not turning 

Shear bolts have sheared. 

 

Drive chain not on sprocket.

Replace shear bolts 

 

Reinstall/replace chain. 

4.)  Chains are jumping 

drive sprocket teeth 

Inadequate chain tension. 
 
 

 

Sprocket teeth or chains 
excessively worn. 

Adjust chain tension. See 
details in Adjustments 
Chapter. 

 

Replace sprocket or chain. 

5.) Excessive chain 

and/or sprocket 
wear. 

Sprockets are NOT 
properly aligned.  

 

Improper shear bolts being 
used. 
 

 

Inadequate chain tension. 

Re-align sprockets. 
 

 

Install proper shear bolts 
listed in Operations 
Chapter. 

 

See item #6 

6.)  Drive chain(s) will 

NOT stay properly 
tensioned.  

Tensioner spring(s) NOT 
properly adjusted.  

 

Idler pivot arm(s) binding. 
 

 

Tensioner spring(s) broken 
or stretched. 

Adjust tensioner spring(s). 
 

 

Lubricate idler arm(s) to 
pivot freely. 

 

Replace spring(s). 

7.)  Uniformity of spread 

or discharge rate 
not acceptable 

Difficult to spread material. 

Change expeller or auger 
speed sprockets.
