roller problem on 1997 entec 6''

[ledders666]

hello, I have an ongoing but intermitent fault with my rollers/controls.

 

The problem is occasionaly the rollers stop feeding automatically, I can hold the green feed button in and they keep feeding however if I let go they stop again.

 

The blue backwards button works fine, and after a few seconds to a minute of pressing the green button over and over it will then continue to automatically feed its self again.

 

Haveyou come across this problembefore and if so what was the solution?

Is there any basic switches or connections I could check?

Do you think the problem is most likely to be in the control box on top of the hopper or within the hydraulic controls?

 

 

Many Thanks Josh

Hi Ledder666 Josh

 

The symptoms you describe fully indicate that the relay or relay base has developed a fault.

The relay is located in the engine bay and looks like a black square box approx 25mm square.

It is a pull out relay.

When you remove the relay please check that the base connections are sound and secure and the cable free from contamination.

You can purchase a new relay from a good automotive retailer.

You need type SRB 500 relay - (we recommend either Hella or Lucas)

 

If this does not cure the fault then check the switches in the control box to ensure the electrical contacts are making and breaking as they should.

 

Hope that this helps you but if you require any further advise please call the Tech support help line on 01449 765820 and we are offer you some further help.
