✔ Check the gearbox oil level and top up if low.
✔ Ensure the motor is functioning correctly and free from electrical faults.
✔ Lubricate drum bearings and pivot points regularly.
3. Excessive Noise or Vibration
Problem:
- Loud noises or excessive vibrations during operation.
- Caused by misalignment, loose components, or worn bearings.
Solutions: ✔ Tighten all bolts and fasteners.
✔ Inspect and replace worn bearings or bushings.
✔ Align and secure motor mounts and frame components.
✔ Ensure the drum is balanced and materials are loaded evenly.
4. Motor Overheating
Problem:
- The motor temperature rises excessively.
- Caused by blocked ventilation, overloading, or electrical issues.
Solutions:
✔ Ensure motor ventilation slots are free from dust and debris.
✔ Reduce the mixing load if the motor is working too hard.
✔ Inspect and replace cooling fans if necessary.
✔ Allow the motor to cool between heavy-duty usage cycles.
5. Drum Not Mixing Properly
Problem:
- The concrete mix is inconsistent or poorly blended.
- Caused by worn mixing blades, slow drum speed, or incorrect loading sequence.
Solutions:
✔ Inspect and replace worn mixing blades.
✔ Ensure the drum speed matches the manufacturer’s recommendations.
✔ Load materials in the correct order: water → cement → sand → aggregates.
6. Electrical Faults
Problem:
- Electrical components, including the control panel, fail to operate.
- Caused by wiring issues, blown fuses, or control panel failure.
Solutions:
✔ Check and replace any blown fuses.
✔ Inspect all wiring connections for damage or loose terminals; repair if necessary.
✔ Test the control panel switches and replace any faulty components.
✔ Ensure all electrical safety systems are functioning correctly.
7. Hydraulic System Issues (If fitted with hydraulic tipping)
Problem:
- The drum fails to tip or moves sluggishly.
- Caused by hydraulic leaks, low oil levels, or a faulty pump.
Solutions:
✔ Check and top up hydraulic fluid with the recommended grade.
✔ Inspect hoses, seals, and fittings for leaks; replace any damaged components.
✔ Test the hydraulic pump and valves; repair or replace if needed.
✔ Clean or replace clogged hydraulic filters.
8. Frame and Structural Damage
Problem:
- Cracks, rust, or damage to the mixer frame or drum.
Solutions:
✔ Regularly inspect for rust and structural cracks.
✔ Treat rusted areas with rust inhibitors and repaint to prevent further corrosion.
✔ Weld or reinforce structural cracks to maintain frame integrity.
9. Tyre Wear or Punctures
Problem:
- Uneven tyre wear or frequent punctures.
- Caused by overloading or rough terrain.
Solutions:
✔ Maintain correct tyre pressure according to specifications.
✔ Inspect tyres for damage and replace when necessary.
✔ Avoid exceeding the machine’s load capacity.
10. Control Panel Malfunctions
Problem:
- Buttons, switches, or indicator lights fail to function.
- Caused by faulty wiring or worn-out control panel components.
Solutions:
✔ Inspect and test all control panel switches and connections.
✔ Replace malfunctioning components or damaged wires.
✔ Reset the panel and ensure all connections are secure.
General Maintenance Tips
✔ Perform daily checks on power supply, hydraulic fluid, and tyre pressure.
✔ Grease all moving parts regularly to prevent premature wear.
