- Common Fastir Problems and Solutions
Problem
Reason
Solution
Gearmotor not turning while augers
are vertical.
No electricity
Check plug-in for proper voltage using
voltmeter.
Automatic thermal overload shut
off. 230V to 115V gearmotor
or 115V to 230V gearmotor.
Check plug-in for proper voltage
Check for binding or obstruction on
track or tube.
Weak thermal overload in field of
gearmotor.
Replace field in gearmotor.
Gears may be out of gearmotor.
Feel if gearmotor is running. If so,
gears must be replaced.
Capacitor bad.
Replace capacitor.
Tilt switch(es) on augers shutting
off gearmotor on center
hanger.
Hold down bypass button on junction
box. If gearmotor turns, tilt switch
is improperly adjusted or faulty.
Also check wiring connection.
1-1/2 HP motor not turning.
Thermal overload shut off.
Press reset button. Motor may be
running on 115V and must be on
230V (except on 460V units).
1-1/2 HP motor running slow, lacking
power.
Wired for 115V or one fuse blown.
Use voltmeter to determine voltage
(must be 230V).
Crosstube not turning.
Shearpin sheared on gearmotor.
Replace shearpin.
Crosstube not moving forward on
track.
Shearpin sheared on gearmotor.
Replace shearpin.
Machine vibration.
Bent down auger.
Straighten or install new down auger.
Belts breaking.
Belt not properly aligned.
Adjust motor pulley.
Damaged pulley.
Check pulley and auger shaft for
damage and replace if
necessary.
Down auger trailing excessively.
Flighting worn off of down auger.
Replace auger.
Machine hitting top of bin.
Track installed too high.
Lower track.
Down auger getting ahead.
Crosstube not traveling around bin.
Hard spot or concentrations
of fines in center of bin.
Check gearmotor and gears to insure
proper function. Replace any
damaged part.
Cannot get drying air hot enough.
LP gas vaporizes too slowly.
Provide vaporizer on burner.
Carriage not traveling in or out of
crosstube.
Reversing mechanism bearing did
not switch completely.
Adjust springs on reversing rod making
each side equal. Check detent &
spring.
Check toggle gear bolt for overtorque.
Torque should be approx.30 ft-lbs.
