Repairs and Adjustments

The Hydraulic Power Pak System
Adjustments:
1. Hydraulic Motor Starter.
This panel allows for manual and automatic operation of the hydraulic
system. The start-stop switch provides the main power and the thermal
overload to the motor. The Manual-Off-Auto switch allows for manual
and automatic operation off the motor. When the switch is in the auto
position, the permissive signal from the load rack turns the motor on. The
switch should be in the auto position during normal operation of the
blender (see page 36).
2. Hydraulic Reservoir.
This is the stainless steel tank located between the two product streams.
The lid of the tank is removable and contains all of the repairable parts.
The motor, pump, bypass, pressure gauge, fill cap and tubing connections
are mounted on the lid. There is also a sight gauge mounted on the side
of the tank to inspect the level of hydraulic fluid. As long as you can see
hydraulic fluid in the sight glass the level is adequate. If the hydraulic
fluid becomes cloudy, replace it with new fluid (see page 36).
3. Hydraulic Pressure Setting.
The hydraulic pressure should be set between 80 - 90 psi. The pressure
adjustment screw is located inside the fill cap. To increase the hydraulic
pressure, turn the adjustment screw clockwise. To decrease the pressure,
turn the adjustment screw counter clockwise (see page 36).

The Hydraulic Valve System
Adjustments:
1. The Opening Speed Needle Valve.
This needle valve is in series with the normally closed solenoid. It is a solid brass
valve with an adjustment knob. This valve controls the speed at which the valve
opens. Turning the knobs clockwise will slow down the opening speed of the
valve. Turning the knob counter clockwise will increase the opening speed of
the valve (see page 38).
2. The Closing Speed Needle Valve.
This needle valve is in series with the normally open solenoid. It is a solid brass
valve with an adjustment knob. This valve controls the speed at which the valve
closes. Turning the knob clockwise will slow down the closing speed of the
valve. Turning the knob counter clockwise will increase the closing speed of
the valve (see page 38).
The needle valves are provided for the fine adjustment and smooth
operation of the hydraulic valve. Once they are set, there is no reason to
change their positions unless the hydraulics of the product lines undergo
a dramatic change: (i.e. a new product pump is installed).

The Solenoid Valves
Repair:
Repairing a clogged or defective solenoid.
Note: Before attempting this repair turn Power-Pak power OFF
Locate the defective solenoid and disconnect the tubing from the solenoid
body. Next remove the four bolts holding the brass body together. Pull down
on the lower part of the brass body until it separates from the upper body.
Examine the solenoid body and diaphragm assembly for any debris or damage.
Locate the brass orifice on the diaphragm assembly and check for debris
preventing the plunger from seating against the orifice. Next check the plunger
seat for any deep depressions or holes. If there are no signs of unusual wear
and all debris has been removed, put the solenoid back together and test it using
the hydraulic valve test procedure. If the solenoid still does not work properly,
replace the internal components with the ones found in the solenoid repair kit.
To check the solenoid coil, place an Ohm meter across the two red leads. If
you get a reading, the solenoid is presumed to be in good condition.
