TROUBLE SHOOTING
PROBLEM
CAUSE & SOLUTION
Not extracting oil
Red light is on
(continuously without
blinking)
IS THE POWER ON?
Check to be sure the power is on and the time control is set correctly. Check
mains connection. If power is being supplied and there is still no display check
fuses or contact your supplier.
Check the magnetic switch and wiper are in position
If the lid has been removed for any reason, press the red button to reset
the machine. The light will change from continuous to blinking mode
ARE REMOVABLE PARTS CLEANED?
Remove the lid and clean away any build-up that may be present in
the wiper blades, collection chute or outlet tray. Assure that the wiper
blades are located properly in place
with the wiper blades contacting the
roller
. Replace wiper blades when worn.
The trap contains 240V moving
parts -
turn off power before removing wipers or roller
CHECK THE SKIMMING AND HEATING CYCLES ARE WORKING
The GREASEBOSS heating and extraction cycles should be set to remove grease
that is trapped. Make sure the cycles have been correctly set as per
instructions. The default time is 2am-4am (NZ time)
(Heater cycle) The tank should heat (15mins approx.) prior to default start time.
If the tank does not heat, the heater may need inspecting. Contact your local
Service engineer to check. IF water temp<42C during day unit will turn on/off
regularly in 5minute intervals
(Roller) After heating up, (15 or 30 minutes) make sure that the noise of the
roller turning is heard. If the motor can be heard but the wheels are not
turning then check the axles and drive couplings that link the motor to the
roller. If the roller motor does not display
“
ON
”,
the motor must be checked
by MACTRAP for possible replacement.
MAKE SURE WIPER BLADE ASSEMBLY IS SECURE
Position wiper blade assembly over the oil chute guide and secure to locator
plate. Check wiper blades condition as some acids and cleaning liquids may
cause deterioration over time and therefor new blade may be required.
CHECK THE THERMOSTAT IS FUNCTIONING
Check that the heating is commencing as per default.
If not a qualified engineer/electrician should check that the thermostat is set at
55 °C. Maximum with shut down at 85°C.
If water influent is to hot >65C collection efficiency will be affected.
