shooting
The following tables are an aid for locating and eliminating faults.
If assembly operations have to be carried out refer to the section "Maintenance
and Repair".
3.8.1 Trouble shooting
Fault
Possible causes
Remedial action
Brake is applied.
Release brake by turning the handle
clockwise.
Oil has run down the spindle onto the
drive belt; the drive belt is slipping on
the bowl spindle.
Clean belt contact surface of the
spindle and flat belt pulley.
Replace the drive belt.
Motor is incorrectly connected.
Check connection.
Insufficient number of clutch shoes.
Increase the number of clutch shoes
(see section 4.5).
Drive belt has stretched and is slip-
ping on the bowl spindle.
Replace drive belt.
Drive belt has not been fitted cor-
rectly.
Check position of drive belt on cen-
trifugal clutch and bowl spindle.
The bowl does not come up
to rated speed or takes too
long to do so.
Liquid or dirt has collected in the up-
per section of frame and is braking
the bowl.
Check the operating water discharge.
Liquid must flow off freely.
Clean inside of upper section of
frame.
Wipe dry friction surfaces.
Friction surfaces of clutch shoes are
oily.
Do not use benzene, tri-
chlorethylene or any other
solvent!
The bowl speed drops dur-
ing operation.
The motor speed drops during opera-
tion.
Check motor and line voltage.
The bowl reaches the rated
speed too fast (in less than
1.5 minutes). The starting
current of the motor is hence
inadmissibly high.
Too many clutch shoes are used.
Reduce the number of clutch shoes.
Make sure that the clutch shoes are
evenly spaced. See section 4.5.
