If there is no vibration
Electrical
- Check to see if the power is off or the controller is turned down or off.
- Check to see if a fuse has blown.
- Check the connections.
- Check for broken wires.
- Check the coil. It may be overheated or shorted out.
Mechanical
- Is there a gap between the coil and the striker plate?
- Is the bowl making contact with any other equipment?
- Check the springs. These can sometimes break at the edge of the base lug or the edge of the cross-arms. Check the welds and bolts for any breakage.
If there is a slow, irregular vibration or loud abnormal sound
Electrical
- Is the input voltage fluctuating?
- Is there a loose connection?
Mechanical
- Check all bolts for looseness or breakage, especially bolts holding spring packs together.
- Is everything level?
- Is the bowl overloaded?
- Is the bowl making contact with any other equipment?
- Is the table or plate causing interference vibration? Stands/tables must be level, rigid, and of adequate strength, or they can set up their own resistant vibration. This can hinder or cause a problem with the bowls proper vibratory function.
- Is the coil gap too close or too far?
- Is there excessive dirt or oil in bowl?
- Is the base unit improperly tuned?
