The Winget 200T Concrete Mixer is a diesel-powered, electric-start mixer designed for heavy-duty construction applications. Built for durability and efficiency, it is widely used across construction sites for mixing large batches of concrete. However, like any mechanical equipment, regular use can lead to operational and mechanical issues.
This guide provides practical solutions to common Winget 200T Mixer problems, along with essential maintenance tips. Whether you’re an operator or technician, this resource will help you:
✔ Quickly identify and troubleshoot common issues.
✔ Perform necessary repairs to minimize downtime.
✔ Maintain the mixer for long-term performance and reliability.
1. Engine Won’t Start (Electric Start Diesel Engine)
Problem:
- The diesel engine fails to start or turns over slowly.
- Caused by fuel blockages, battery failure, or air in the fuel system.
Solutions: ✔ Ensure there’s enough fuel in the tank and that the fuel filter is clean.
✔ Check battery terminals for corrosion; clean and tighten as needed.
✔ Test the battery voltage and recharge or replace if necessary.
✔ Prime the fuel system by bleeding air from the fuel lines and filters.
✔ Inspect the starter motor and solenoid for faults.
2. Drum Rotation Failure
Problem:
- The drum fails to rotate or rotates inconsistently.
- Caused by a worn drive belt, gearbox failure, or hydraulic issues.
Solutions: ✔ Inspect the drive belt for wear or misalignment; replace if necessary.
✔ Check the gearbox oil level and refill if low.
✔ Ensure hydraulic fluid levels are correct and check for leaks.
✔ Lubricate bearings and pivot points regularly.
3. Hydraulic System Issues (If fitted with hydraulic tipping)
Problem:
- The drum fails to tip or moves slowly.
- Caused by hydraulic oil leaks, low fluid levels, or a faulty pump.
Solutions: ✔ Check hydraulic oil levels and top up with the recommended grade.
✔ Inspect hoses, seals, and fittings for leaks; replace any damaged parts.
✔ Test the hydraulic pump and valves; repair or replace if needed.
✔ Clean or replace clogged hydraulic filters.
4. Excessive Noise or Vibration
Problem:
- Unusual knocking sounds or excessive vibration during operation.
- Caused by loose components, misalignment, or worn bearings.
Solutions: ✔ Tighten drum mounting bolts and fasteners.
✔ Check and replace worn-out bearings or bushings.
✔ Align and secure the drive system, motor mounts, and frame components.
5. Engine Overheating
Problem:
- The engine temperature rises excessively.
- Caused by blocked cooling fins, low coolant levels, or clogged radiators.
Solutions: ✔ Ensure radiator and cooling fins are clean and free from debris.
✔ Check coolant levels and refill as necessary.
✔ Inspect the water pump, thermostat, and cooling fan for faults.
✔ Ensure air filters are clean for optimal airflow.
6. Clutch or Transmission Issues
Problem:
- Difficulty engaging gears or slipping clutch.
- Caused by worn clutch plates or incorrect adjustments.
Solutions: ✔ Inspect the clutch linkage and adjust as necessary.
✔ Check clutch plates and pressure plates for excessive wear; replace if faulty.
✔ Lubricate or repair stiff gear linkages to ensure smooth operation.
7. Drum Not Mixing Properly
Problem:
- Concrete mix appears 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 is set according to manufacturer recommendations.
✔ Load materials correctly: water → cement → sand → aggregates.
8. Electrical Faults (Electric Start Issues)
Problem:
- Electric starter, lights, or control panel malfunctions.
- Caused by wiring issues, blown fuses, or a faulty alternator.
Solutions: ✔ Check and replace blown fuses.
✔ Inspect wiring connections for corrosion or damage; repair as needed.
✔ Test the alternator and ensure it is charging the battery properly.
✔ Ensure the battery is fully charged and in good condition.
9. 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.
10. Tyre Wear or Punctures
Problem:
- Uneven tyre wear or frequent flats.
- Caused by overloading or operating on rough terrain.
Solutions: ✔ Maintain correct tyre pressure.
✔ Inspect tyres for damage and replace as needed.
✔ Avoid exceeding the machine’s load capacity.
General Maintenance Tips
✔ Perform daily checks on fuel, oil, coolant, hydraulic fluid, and tyre pressure.
✔ Grease all moving parts regularly to prevent premature wear.
✔ Clean the drum thoroughly after each use to prevent hardened concrete buildup.
✔ Follow manufacturer service schedules for oil changes, filters, and inspections.
✔ Store the mixer in a dry place when not in use to prevent rust and corrosion.
