TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE
CONDITIONS
POSSIBLE CAUSE
1. Spindle Motor and/or chuck motor will
not operate
1. Line fuse is open. Check fuse/breaker.
2. Power cord un-plugged
3. Loose or broken wire(s).
2. Spindle lacks power.
1. Loose “O” Ring belts. Replace.
2. Line voltage incorrect for motor, check motor input
tag current supply.
3. Spindle motor will not start when the
main switch is turned on
1. Spindle slide in far right location.
NOTE:
This machine is equipped with an
automatic limit switch when the spindle slide is on
the far right location.
2. Limit switch is out of adjustment.
4. Wheel face rough after facing.
1. Feeding the wheel across the diamond too rapidly.
2. Broken diamond. Replace.
3. Diamond tool holder not locked tight.
4. Blunt diamond. Replace.
5. Poor finish on valves (Chatter)
1. Check wheel dress.
2. Chuck out of adjustment.
3. Slide out of adjustment.
4. Spindle bearings worn.
5. Chuck Motor Belt too tight. (should be as loose as
possible without it slipping)
NOTE:
See page 18 on varying wheel
performance.
6. Grinding sounds heavier on one side of
the valve face over the other.
1. Check the Gib adjustments on both the Chuck and
spindle side. Especially on the chuck side it’s
possible for one of the spring loaded gib
adjustment screws to be stuck causing a mis-
alignment of the chuck shaft.
7. Chuck open and close action seems
sticky.
1. This is almost always due to debris in the chuck
and a full disassembly and cleaning with denatured
alcohol will solve it. On very new machines it
could just need to have the collars lubricated with
Automatic Transmission Fluid and worked a bit.
The chuck has very high tolerances when new and
there is a small “wear-in” period needed.
