6-4 l Troubleshooting
Identifying the Cause of a Problem
The Troubleshooting section covers problems directly related to the operation and
maintenance of the Combination Puller/Cutter. This section does not provide solu-
tions to problems that originate with other equipment. Additional troubleshooting
help can be found in manuals supplied with the other equipment.
The main problems you will see with the Combination Puller/Cutters are:
• Puller operation problems, which focus on problems that are clearly related to
the pullers mechanical components and electrical control system.
• Cutter operation problems, which focus on problems that are clearly related
to the operation of the cutter’s mechanical components and electrical control
system.
• Product quality concerns. Extrudate quality problems may be related to
Combination Puller/Cutter operation. Of course, other sections of the extrusion
line also influence the quality of the extruded product. This section does not
provide solutions to problems originating with other equipment on the extrusion
line.
Additional troubleshooting help can be found in the documentation manuals
included with this User Guide.
