customer service at 1-800-252-4647.
PROBLEM
Fan motor won’t start or
won’t stay running.
POSSIBLE CAUSES
Input circuit not operational.
POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS
Check input power to motor circuits for proper
voltage on each phase.
Improper electrical wiring.
Check and correct internal motor wiring for
proper connections based on the incoming line
voltage. Wiring diagram is found on lead access
plate.
Starter overloads are tripped.
Check for proper motor starter overload rating
against full load amps on the motor nameplate.
Adjust or replace overloads as required.
Cone discharge is open to
atmosphere.
Ensure drum is properly sealed against drum lid
package. Ensure drum lid package is properly
installed.
Fan rotation is backwards.
Correct the rotation. See Section 5.1 “StartUp.”
Fan damper is not properly
adjusted.
Check motor current draw and close fan or
silencer dampers until amperage draw is below
full load amp rating of the motor.
Storage container is full.
Inspect and empty container as required.
Leak in drum lid hose (drum
models only).
Use a test cigarette and check for pinhole leak in
hose. Replace if required.
Fan rotation is backwards.
If the fan is not rotating in the correct direction,
see Section 5.1 “Start-Up” to reverse the
rotation.
Loose or open access door.
Tighten access door and drum lid connection.
Duct damper(s) or system damper
is not positioned properly.
Adjust dampers to allow for sufficient air volume.
Air inlet(s) obstructed.
Inspect and clean all hoods or other machine
connections.
Large leak in storage container.
Check for a large leak in the storage
compartment or container. In 55 gallon drum
applications, make sure the drum is under the
drum lid and sealed. On hopper models, make
sure the slide gate is closed if the hopper does
not have a drum connection.
Plugged ductwork.
Check for obstructions in the ductwork or the
exhaust. Check ducts and hoods for improper
sizing.
Leaks in ductwork.
Check for loose, leaky joints in the ductwork. Fix
or replace as required.
Dust emissions from clean
air discharge.
Insufficient airflow.
