J&R 700E - Rotisserie Not Revolving Smoothly

(a) improper wood,
(b) too much wood in the firebox, or
(c) improper draft.
PROCEDURE
(a) Check smoke exit flue and the stack and clean if necessary to
remove any obstructions.
(b) If a new supply of wood is being used, check its type and be
sure it is not the problem by using some wood from your
regular supply.
(c) Too much wood in the firebox can cause this problem. Also,
if your wood is dry, it can occur. Soot is produced when
there is inadequate oxygen available for complete
combustion. When you build a roaring fire in the firebox by
using too much wood or wood that is too dry, there may be
insufficient oxygen available. Reduce the amount of wood
you charge into the firebox when this problem occurs.
6.) PROBLEM Rotisserie not revolving smoothly.
CAUSES One or more of the following:
(a) the chain is loose,
CAUSES One or more of the following:
5). PROBLEM Black residue (carbon) on the meat after cooking or “creosote” odor
in smoke.
(b) the gearbox is defective, or one of the sprockets is not secured
to its shaft.
(f) If the motor does not run, shut the electrical supply to the pit
off and remove the gearbox and motor assembly as indicated
above. Separate the two, energize the pit circuit, and turn
the rotisserie switch on. If the motor runs, replace the
gearbox. If it does not run, replace the motor; however,
check the gearbox by rotating the input shaft manually. The
output shaft should rotate (remember the output will rotate
much slower than the input). If it does not rotate, the
gearbox is also defective.
(e) Shut the pit circuit off and remove the motor and gearbox
assembly by removing the bolts holding the gearbox onto the
base plate. Remove the motor from the gearbox and inspect
the coupling between the two. If it is not broken, replace the
gearbox.
