Snow behind the Piston
There are two reasons for snow accumulating behind the piston:
• The wear rings are worn and snow is being pushed past them during each cycle.
• The injector ball valve is not shutting off completely, allowing snow to build up behind
the piston as it advances. The chamber pressure gauge will spike high and then drop to
zero. Too much buildup will cause the unit to shut off the extrusion process and a Long
Retract Time fault will display.
