TROUBLE SHOOTING

PROBLEM: MOTOR RUNS, BUT REEL AND AUGERS DO NOT TURN

 

CAUSE

SOLUTION

 

 

 

 

SHEAR BOLT ON PTO DRIVELINE HAS SHEARED

Replace with the same grade and size shear bolt. Do not use any

 

 

bolt other than the grade specified in the MIXER SETUP,

 

 

DRIVELINE SHEAR BOLTS section. If problem persists, call your

 

 

local dealer.

 

BELTS ARE SLIPPING

Adjust or replace belts ad outlined in the INSPECTION AND

 

 

ADJUSTS section. If problem persists, call your authorized Kuhn

 

 

Knight service dealer.

 

BROKEN CHAIN

Make sure that mixer is not overloaded. Replace broken chain. A

 

 

spliced chain will not be as strong as a new chain and may break

 

 

in another place. Be sure to inspect bearings, bearing mounts,

 

 

and shafts for any damage caused by excessive pressure.

 

 

 

 

PROBLEM: SEAL LEAKING ON UPPER AUGER

 

 

 

 

 

CAUSE

SOLUTION

 

 

 

 

BOLTS MAY HAVE WORKED LOOSE ON SEAL RETAINER

Tighten or replace bolts

 

SEAL IS DAMAGED

Replace Seal

 

 

 

 

PROBLEM: SEAL LEAKING ON INPUT SHAFT

 

 

 

 

 

CAUSE

SOLUTION

 

 

 

 

OIL BATH IS OVERFILLED

The oil level in the sealed drive compartment should be maintained

 

 

at the “oil level” plug on the drive compartment housing. This

 

 

allows the oil to be thrown onto all the other chains inside the

 

 

drive compartment.

 

SEAL IS DAMAGED

Replace Seal

 

 

 

 

PROBLEM: EXCESSIVE CHAIN NOISE

 

 

 

 

 

CAUSE

SOLUTION

 

 

 

 

MISALIGNED SPROCKETS

Check sprockets for worn edges of teeth. Use a straight edge to

 

 

verify the alignment of the sprockets.

 

WORN SPROCKET AND OR CHAIN

Inspect sprockets and chains. Replace if excessively worn.

 

 

 

 

PROBLEM: FEED IS SEPARATING AS IT DISCHARGES FROM THE MIXER DOOR

 

 

 

 

CAUSE

SOLUTION

 

 

 

 

DOOR IS OPEN LESS THAN HALF WAY

Hay mixed in the load will separate from the grain if the discharge

 

 

door is not open at least half way. Additional flow control plates

 

 

may be required.
