Gobos Not Rotating and Vortex Making Noise
Possibility #1 – Gears are jammed
M a ke sure nothing is preventing gears from rotating properl y.
If they will not rotate freely, don’t try to force them. If they
a r e j a m m e d , r e m o ve the obstruction and test. Note that
jammed gears m a y lead to a dead power adapter and/or
motor.
Possibility #2 – Drive gear is loose
If it sounds like the motor is spinning, but no gears are turning,
the dri ve gear on the motor shaft may be loose. This wo u l d
also allow the rest of the gears to rotate freely. It can be fixed
by tightening the set screw on the dri ve gear with a 5/64" A l l e n
key.
Possibility #3 – Motor is dead
If possibl e, attach a different power adapter to the unit to ve rify
that it is not the power adapter. If eve rything else has been
c h e cked, then the motor should be replaced.
