7.1 Trouble Shooting Guide
The items included in this section cover the common causes of trouble which an operator might
encounter during the operation of the T-1000. When operating difficulties occur, the best
procedure is to observe what is happening; then search out the causes; and effect the correction.
Make only one adjustment at a time, checking the results of each adjustment. If an adjustment
does not help or escalates the problems, return the settings back to the former position.
CAUTION: These tests and repairs should be performed only by qualified mechanics or
electricians and at their own risk.
NOTE: When trouble shooting a T-1000 functioning within a system (e.g.: with conveyors,
scales, feeders, counters, etc.), always isolate the equipment and operate each machine
individually.
