Machine Troubleshooting

When troubles occur, be sure to check simple causes which at first may seem too obvious to be considered. For
example, a starting problem could be caused by fuel starvation due to an empty propane cylinder or an
unopened service valve.
1. EXCESSIVE VIBRATION: Look for the following possibilities:
(1) Pad is off center. Remove and reinstall.
(2) Pad Driver is cracked. (Possibly from striking a curb or bolt in the floor) Replace at once with a new part.
(3) Bearings in Front End Assembly are worn. Tilt machine back on its rear bumper. Grip Pad Driver and move
up, down and from side to side to check for slack in the bearings. If slack exists, Front End Assembly should be
replaced.
2. EXCESSIVE NOISE FROM UNDER MACHINE: If this problem has developed after use of a new machine, the first
place to check is the tensioner. As a new belt wears in, it naturally stretches and the tensioner could begin to
rattle. Tilt the machine back on its rear bumper and reset by taking up the slack in the belt and tighten the
tensioner.
