Trouble shooting
Barrel makes grinding noises
This could be due to damage to the tumbler barrel causing it to rub the reel blade. It may need to be adjusted
further away from the reel and blade knife.
Barrel motor shakes
This may be due to something in the belt or pulleys causing it to be unbalanced. Check for material adhered to
the drive system using proper safety.
Reel drive motor is very hot
The reel drive motor will get hot after prolonged use. It will shut off automatically if it overheats and will need
to cool down before restarting.
There is a high pitch squeal sound coming from the blades
This can be due to the blade rubbing the protective shrouds or covers. Check for damage on shroud covers and
if the machine needs cleaning.
There is a high speed ticking sound coming from the blades
There should be no sounds from the reel being turned on. If your hearing a ticking sound the stationary blade
will need to be adjusted so the noise will go away.
Debris is getting clogged up in the vacuum inlet
Clean periodically due to debris buildup of wet or dried material from current or pervious use.
The circuit breaker keeps tripping
This is typically caused by an undersized cord, a cord that is to long or an circuit breaker that is to small. Also
check to make sure the machine is not sharing a circuit breaker with other electrical items.
