TOMAHAWK FAULT FINDING CHART – PART 1
Symptom Fault Possible Solutions
High power
consumption Bale fed too quickly into crossbeaters.
Knives too aggressive
Reduce bed chain speed.
Slope knives backwards using holes provided
Rotor will not
start Bale forced against crossbeaters. Reverse bed chain.
Material in rotor housing jamming rotor. Reverse rotor to clear blockage.
Clutch setting too low. Check setting and adjust.
Bed chain will not
turn Hydraulic valve problem. See section below.
Material jammed between bed chain
and bodywork. Clear material and check bed chain tension.
Relief valve setting too low. Adjust relief valve or replace if the spring is worn.
Tractor hydraulic oil pressure low. Check pressure delivered by tractor.
Bed chain has come off the sprockets. Check sprocket condition, replace the bed chain and
tension it.
Bed chain broken. Check sprocket groove is clean and that the
chamber below the floor is free from obstructions.
Repair chain and refit.
Motor not turning. Check connections and tractor hydraulics. If motor is
seized reverse flow to release. Consult your dealer if
this fails.
Bed drive chain has come off the
sprocket. Check sprocket condition, replace the chain and
tension it.
Sprockets seized. Replace bearings.
Bed Chain speed too slow. Increase forward speed of bed chain using flow
control valve. Slow discharge
Insufficient aggression of knives
Check knives to see if they are in aggressive
position on crossbeaters
Blades blunt or worn. Sharpen, reverse or replace blades.
Material jammed hard against bale
restraint above crossbeaters. Reverse bed chain direction for at least 5 seconds
until feed is restored.
Rotor speed low. Check that slip clutch is not slipping - indicated by
hot clutch assembly.
Rotor speed low. Check tractor tachometer.
Bale stops
discharging Crossbeaters not rotating. Replace shear bolt in drive sprocket.
Gearbox in neutral. Remove material from rotor housing before
restarting and select correct gear.
Bed chain not rotating. See Above.
