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 |

|
|
| 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. |
