A530t feed roller speed/no stress??

[talismanfisher]

Hi folks, my 2006 a530t feed rollers slowed right down randomly? Had been fine and no stress was working. I've turned roller speed dial on hopper up to 8 but didn't help so had to wind the brass nob on outside of hopper micro switch (one pointed at in pic) right in to get them going again....any ideas?

Low on hydraulic fluid ? Contacts on the solenoid is another occasional problem .

Fluid levels fine, I've cleaned the terminals and the metal rod the solenoid goes onto, wonder if there's a way of testing the solenoid function? Mind u I've no bloody idea what it does anyway! 😀

The wire carries the 12v signal to the coil. The coil is finger tight fit onto the spool. Perhaps the nut was too loose and not it wasn't in the right place. Do not over tighten as that could crush the coil and bugger it right up!

no stress may need resetting

check the wee grey computer on the side, the speed should read around 12000 +. If it reads any less, like 600 or so then the big flywheel type thing is drifting off the spindle, perhaps need new taper lock. easy to fix. a quick temporary fix is to readjust the sensor closer to the wheel

Could also be the micro switch on the hopper, you can bypass that by connecting the wires together. Purely for the purposes of testing it of course.
