    5.2.4 AIR SYSTEM RELIEF VALVES The air in this system is moved by the blower. It draws air into the intake side and creates a vacuum that can pick up and draw material into the system. As the air moves through the blower, it becomes pressurized and flows through the airlock to move material out of the system and to its destination.
  • Page 49: Trouble Shooting

    TROUBLE SHOOTING The Walinga Ultra-Vac® is a high capacity air pump that creates a vacuum for picking up grain and supplies pressurized air for moving the grain. It is a simple and reliable system that requires minimum maintenance. In the following section, we have listed many of the problems, causes and solutions to the problems that you may encounter.
  • Page 50 PROBLEM CAUSE SOLUTION Slow discharge of grain (cont'd). Defective blower. Check clearance between lobes and case. Excessive clearance will decrease air flow. Consult your dealer. Defective airlock. Check that tip clearance is 0.004 inches. Adjust or replace tips as required. Improper setting of flow control Reset flow control.
  • Page 51 PROBLEM CAUSE SOLUTION Hydraulics overheating (cont’d) Poor oil quality. Replace with oil of required specifications. Defective hose or tube. Check hoses, lines and couplers. Repair or replace as required. Improper circuit. Check for proper system setting. i.e. open or close. Wrong airlock speed.
  • Page 52: Blower

    BLOWER PROBLEM CAUSE SOLUTION Low air volume. Slow speed. Check blower speed with tach. Increase speed. Check for slipping belts. Adjust belt tension as required. Piping blocked. Check inlet and outlet piping. Remove obstruction. Check relief valves. Clean, repair or replace as required. Excessive pressure rise.
  • Page 53: V-Belt Drive

    V-BELT DRIVE PROBLEM CAUSE SOLUTION Loss in drive speed. Belts slipping. Tighten belts as required. Localized belt wear. Check cross-section dimension. a. If narrow, pulley spinning. b. If swollen, belt failing internally. Unequal stretch on belts. Defective belts. Replace with matched set.
