  Danielle JonesAug 7, 2025
  If your Sottoriva commercial food equipment isn't starting, several issues could be the cause. First, check if the emergency shut-down button (red mushroom-head) is engaged; if so, reset it by rotating clockwise. Also, ensure that the mobile tub guard is lowered. Other potential causes include a tripped thermal cut-out (reset it), a blown fuse (replace it), or a short circuit/grounding of the motor phase (replace the motor).

Why is my Sottoriva SPRINT V2 90 tank wobbling when running?

  Christopher HarrisAug 16, 2025
  If the tank wobbles when your Sottoriva commercial food equipment is running, it might be due to too much slack between the guide rollers and the tub. Adjust the roller mounts so that each roller contacts the tub at the point at which it is closest to the roller when turning. Another possibility is a belt that is too loose. In this case, the belt should be tensioned.
