TROUBLESHOOTING
My machine is vibrating...
The motor that is installed in the Slant Cabber
is variable speed, meaning you can adjust the
speed in-between the range of 800 rpm - 3,400
rpm. When the Slant Cabber runs at lower
speeds, you may experience a vibration. We
recommend running the Slant Cabber at higher
speeds to prevent this vibration. If you are still
experiencing a vibration after running the Slant
Cabber at high rpms, check to see if your discs
are properly centered. If the diamond lap disc,
diamond smoothing discs or polishing pads are
not accurately centered with the 1/2" arbor hole
in the backing plate, this will cause a vibration.
Remember to always use your machine on a flat,
sturdy workbench or surface.
Water isn’t coming out of my water
tube.
This means an air bubble formed in the inner
tubing, causing a blockage in the water system.
Try one of two things:
1) Move the water tube clockwise in large circles.
2) Blow air through the top water reservoir fitting
using compressed air or a straw.
What should I do if the drain tube
keeps clogging with sediment?
If the drain tube keeps clogging with leftover rock
sediment, simply flush out the sediment with lots
of clean water until the sediment gets flushed
down the drain tube. If a large piece of sediment
is clogged and stuck in the drain tube, use an air
spray gun to blow it out.
My Slant Cabber makes a high speed,
“whirring” sound. Is this normal?
Yes, this is a normal sound the Slant Cabber
makes. The “whirring” sound is produced by a
thin, white disc (also known as a slinger) that is
installed under the arbor and around the motor
shaft. This disc prevents water from getting into
your motor.
My motor is beginning to rust, why is
this?
The only possible way the motor can rust is
if there is water getting into the motor. Water
should never get into the motor with the correct
water set up so if you are seeing rust, make sure
your water set up doesn’t allow water to drip into
the motor.
I can’t remove the arbor from the
motor shaft.
If you can’t remove the arbor from the motor
shaft using the Allen wrench, it is most likely
because the arbor and motor shaft seized
together. This is a result from not oiling the inside
of the arbor according to the oiling instructions
on page 10. If it impossible to remove, please
contact Hi-Tech Diamond at 1 (630) 596-9909 and
one of our specialized technicians will help you
over the phone for correct removal.
