Symptoms
Failure to Start

outlet.

Check that all phase indicator diodes are lit up.
•
Check the speed you are starting on.
•
Press
Reset
if the
Stop
button was pressed.
Stops Suddenly
•
Check to see if the cable is hot. If it is hot, the cable may be too long
or have too small a cross-sectional area.
•
Reduce speed. The machine may have been continuously run at
high speed with an inefficient electrical supply.
Vacuum Not Working
•
Check that hoses are fastened securely and that vacuum is
functional.
Head Does Not Turn
•
Check belt tension.
•
If the fan on the engine is running but the head is not turning, the
belt is slipping or broken. Call CPS for service.
Heads Spin, Housing
Doesn’t
•
If the head spins, but the housing doesn’t, the pinion gear shear pin
has broken. Test it by turning the head manually. The housing
should tun.
•
Machine is Vibrating or
Running Unevenly
•
Check for uneven wear on diamonds. If the heads are not running
evenly, rebuild Flex Heads.
•
A concentration of dirt can cause the driving plates to become hard
and inelastic. Clean the machine between the housing and heads.
•
Check that grinding tools are properly positioned and not too worn.
