Cotter Pin Substitution - Solera Eco D-112 Manuel Pour L'emploi Et L'entretien

Cotter pin substitution

If the machine works but the
augers do not turn, it is possible
that the cotter pin, (item 35 of
the exploded view in appendix-
91) that connects the gear
motor to the transmission shaft,
broke down.
Disconnect the power
electric cable
After removing the back and
side panels, you can see the
breakdown trying to lift the ring
that fix the vertical auger (item
28 of the exploded view in
appendix-91). It can happen
that it is blocked or that, if you
lift it, it carries away the
transmission shaft with it (item
29 of the exploded view in
appendix-91).
In the first case, it is necessary
to control that the transmission
shaft base is as high as the
gear motor (exit shaft). The lift
pin could be in the hole of the
gear motor slow shaft but it
should be deformed or broken
(see pic .a)
In the second case, the hole in
the gear motor should be
completely empty and some
remnants of the split pin will
certainly lie in the machine.
It is therefore necessary to
install a new split pin.
Place the transmission shaft so
as its hole is aligned with the
one present on the gear motor
exit shaft; it should be evident
when they are aligned;
Insert the split pin as shown in
the pic. c;
verify that the head of the split
pin, in its rotation, does not
touch the gear motor and
respects a minimum distance.
Warning: do not reuse, in any
case, the old split pin
- 28 -
With the help of a pliers, fold
the two ends of the split pin
downward as indicated by the
arrows in the pic. d;
Then, with a nippers, cut the
extremities in excess in order to
avoid a contact with the gear
motor during the rotation (see
pic. e).
