What to do if not enough feed supplied to the Chore-Time LIBERTY Feeding System Farm Equipment feeder pans?
If the feeder pans aren't receiving enough feed, the issue might be due to insufficient time programmed on the time clock; add more operating time to the feeding period. Also, the feeder line control unit switch might be out of adjustment; adjust the switch according to the Switch Adjustment Procedure in the maintenance section.
What to do if none of the Chore-Time Farm Equipment feeder lines operate?
If none of the feeder lines are working, the issue might be due to several reasons. First, check if the equipment is receiving power; replace any burned fuses or reset the circuit breaker. Ensure the voltage supplied matches the equipment's requirements. A defective time clock or relay could also be the cause, requiring replacement. Finally, verify the time clock programming, referring to the relevant section to reprogram it correctly.
Why does my Chore-Time Farm Equipment motor overload frequently?
Frequent motor overloads can occur for several reasons. If the auger is new, the oil on it can cause excessive load when feed is first carried; polish the auger by running feed out to the pans in increments of 50 lb (20 kg). Inadequate power reaching the motors can also cause this issue; check the line voltage and starting current draw at the motors, ensuring the wiring is of adequate size. Lastly, check for any objects caught in the auger, which can cause the motor to stall and the auger to spin in reverse; inspect the hopper boot, control unit, and pan outlet holes for obstructions and remove them.
What to do if Chore-Time LIBERTY Feeding System Farm Equipment feeder line will not operate?
If a feeder line isn't operating, start by checking the power unit cord connection at both the control unit and the outlet. Ensure it's plugged in sufficiently. Inspect the motor cord wires for breaks, especially at the plug or where the cord enters the motor; replace the cord if defective. Also, check if the power unit's thermal overload has tripped; if so, push the motor overload reset button. Lastly, examine the control unit switch for defects or misadjustments and adjust it according to the Switch Adjustment Procedure in the maintenance section.
Why is my Chore-Time LIBERTY Feeding System Farm Equipment auger tube or boot wearing out rapidly?
Rapid wear of the auger tube or boot, often indicated by noisy feeder operation, can be caused by a bent or kinked auger, which should be repaired or replaced. Another cause can be the end of the auger riding up on the anchor weldment. Ensure the auger is not positioned over the weld on the anchor and check for any bending or damage to the auger.
What to do if Chore-Time LIBERTY Feeding System auger runs erratically?
If the auger is running erratically, it could be due to a frozen or cracked bearing at the boot anchor; replace the bearing, carefully easing the auger back into the tube to avoid damaging the new bearing. Insufficient stretch in the auger can also cause erratic operation, which can be resolved by shortening the auger. Finally, check for any obstructions in the auger and remove them.
Why is there oil leaking out of seals on Chore-Time LIBERTY Feeding System power unit?
Oil leaks from the power unit seals can occur if the gearhead vent plug is not installed; replace the plastic shipping plug with a vent plug. Alternatively, the gear head seal might be defective and require replacement.
