MODEL 3680 TROUBLE SHOOTING

TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE

PROBLEM - INFEED CONVEYOR NOT OPERATING USING THE RADIO OR TETHER CONTROLS:

(All other functions are working)

Possible Cause Possible Solutions

No electrical signal to the solenoid Check for electrical power at the solenoid while

control valve. Engaging the switch on the remote used to operate

the Infeed Conveyor. If you have electrical power at

the solenoid on the control valve then you will need to

refer the electrical schematic supplied with the

machine to trace the problem. A wire may be broken

or have a faulty relay inside the engine control panel.

Faulty switch in Remote Control. If using the Radio Remote, switch to the Tether

Remote and vice versa to determine if the problem

may be in the remote.

PROBLEM - FEEDWHEEL WILL NOT TURN USING THE MANUAL CONTROLS:

(All other hydraulic systems are working)

Possible Cause Possible Solutions

Material wedged or stuck preventing Raise and secure the Feedwheel using all safety

the Feedwheel from turning. devices. With the machine shut down, check around

Feedwheel looking for anything that may have it bound

up.

Check to see if the drive key in the Feedwheel Check shaft for damage and replace key.

hydraulic motor shaft has sheared.

Feedwheel bearing failure. Raise and secure Feedwheel following all safety

procedures and check bearing. Replace if necessary.

Check the flow controls to see if they are on. If the flow controls are opened up too far the

Feedwheel can stop under heavy load.

Low hydraulic system pressure. A quick check of the hydraulic pressure can be done

by placing the pressure gauge into the diagnostic port

provided on the control valve. Put the Feedwheel

manual control valve into forward or reverse position

to check the Feedwheel working hydraulic pressure.

A 1200 PSI (83 bar) reading would indicate that the

Feedwheel is mechanically stalled by some obstructing

material. A very low pressure reading would indicate a

hydraulic problem with the pressure relief valve or

the hydraulic pump. See “ Procedure for checking

hydraulic pump and relief valve setting” in the

Hydraulic Section.
