FAULT FINDING MECHANICAL
CAUTION: ANY MEC MACHINE MUST BE IN THE DISARMED STATE WITH THE BATTERY
DISCONNECTED PRIOR TO MAKING ANY ADJUSTMENTS, LOADING WITH CLAYS OR
TRANSPORTING
1. The Machine breaks clays - Check loading cycle first:
(a)
Check that clay in the carousel is intact, not chipped or cracked. If in doubt, remove suspect clays and refill
with ones known to be intact.
(b)
With the machine switched “OFF”, rotate the carousel by hand, removing each clay as it drops onto the
throwing plate. Check for cracks and chips. If the clays arrive on the plate intact, then move on to the throwing
section below.
(c)
If they arrive chipped or cracked then remove the carousel and check that the clay slides under both inner
and outer knife edges. There should also be some space between the inside and outside knife edge, about 1/8”.
Check that the knife-edges are not excessively high. 2 clays should have split without chipping or damaging the
top or bottom clay. Using a 7/16” wrench adjust both knife-edges accordingly.
