✔ Reset the overload switch if the motor has tripped.
2. Drum Rotation Failure
Problem:
- The drum fails to rotate or rotates inconsistently.
- Caused by a worn drive belt, gearbox failure, or motor issues.
Solutions:
✔ Inspect the drive belt for wear or misalignment; replace if necessary.
✔ Check the gearbox for oil levels and potential damage; repair or replace faulty gears.
✔ Ensure the motor is operational and free from faults.
✔ Lubricate bearings and pivot points regularly.
3. Hydraulic System Issues
Problem:
- The drum fails to tip or moves slowly.
- Hydraulic oil leaks or low oil levels.
Solutions:
✔ Check hydraulic fluid 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. Overheating Motor
Problem:
- The motor temperature rises excessively.
- Caused by blocked ventilation, electrical overload, or prolonged use.
Solutions:
✔ Ensure ventilation slots are clear of dust and debris.
✔ Check for excessive load on the motor and reduce mixing volume if necessary.
✔ Inspect and replace faulty cooling fans if required.
✔ Allow the motor to cool between heavy-duty usage cycles.
6. 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.
7. Electrical Faults
Problem:
- Electric controls, motor, or lighting fail to work.
- Caused by blown fuses, wiring faults, or a failed alternator.
Solutions:
✔ Check and replace blown fuses.
✔ Inspect wiring connections for corrosion or damage; repair as needed.
✔ Test the motor and control panel for faults.
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 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.
10. Control Panel Malfunctions
Problem:
- Buttons, switches, or indicators fail to function.
- Caused by faulty wiring or damaged control panel components.
Solutions:
✔ Inspect and test all control panel switches and connections.
✔ Replace malfunctioning components or damaged wires.
✔ Reset the panel and ensure the wiring harness is properly secured.
General Maintenance Tips
✔ Perform daily checks on power supply, hydraulic fluid, and tyre pressure.
✔ Grease all moving parts regularly to prevent premature wear.
