EQUIPMENT. FAILURE TO DISCONNECT POWER MAY CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH.
Problem Possible Cause Corrective Action
Delivery system will not
run.
No power to the system. Check circuits, fuses, and on-off
switches on the equipment.

line length.
Low voltage (motor runs slow
and overheats).
Check line voltage at the motor;
use adequate size wire in cir-
cuits.
Foreign object in the auger
(motor runs, stalls, then auger
spins in reverse).
Check auger line, pull auger to
remove objects.
Motor wired in reverse (motor
runs, stalls, no feed conveyed).

Defective motor (over heats with-
out load).
Clean auger and tubes; avoid
conveying wet feed or empty line
after each feeding. Replace
motor.
