The slide gate is sticking slightly. With the hopper empty and air disconnected, move
the slide manually to see that it moves freely. If material does not flow easily a bridge
breaker may be required.

Load Cell weight readings are not holding steady. They vary as much as 100 grams
from second to second.

Static induced poor grounding of load cells. See Wiring Considerations.

If TARE weights are not steady, something may be physically interfering with free
movement of the weigh bin and load cells.

At the end of each cycle the MIX MOTOR runs for a fraction of a second only.

The MIX MOTOR pulls a heavy amp load on start up. If the power supply is not
adequate (like when using an extension cord), the voltage will drop so low that the
computer will reset and the mix motor signal will shut off. The display will show this by
restarting as if power was just turned on. Provide a better supply of power; remove
extension cord or use larger gage wire.
