Back stop rotation incorrect (non-
reversible-bearing)
Turn the power off immediately, rotate
the drum by hand to determine if the
fault is electrical or mechanical. Check
the connection for correct rotation and,
if necessary, change the phase
connection so that the drum rotates in
the right direction or, if possible, re-
install the Drum Motor so that it
operates in the opposite direction.
Drum or conveyor belt is blocked Make sure the belt and the Drum Motor
are free from obstruction and that all
rollers and drums rotate freely.
If the Drum Motor cannot rotate freely, it
might be a seize-up of transmission or
bearing. In this case, contact your local
Interroll distributor for advice.
