Rotary Valve Jam - Diagnosis

If the Feed Controller dispenser light is illuminated but no feed exits the feed outlet, or feed exits abnormally slowly, the rotary valve may be jammed. A jam is typically caused by a foreign object blocking rotation.

  1. Refer to Fuses to check whether the rotary fuse is blown.

    • Fuse is blown: The motor drew excessive current, most likely due to a jam. Do not replace the fuse until the jam is cleared. Proceed to Rotary Valve Jam — Clearing.

    • Fuse is intact: Continue to the next step.

  2. Remove the rotary valve chain cover. Loosen the 4 screws.

  3. Observe whether the rotary valve turns abnormally slowly.

    If the rotary valve turns slowly or does not turn, proceed to Rotary Valve Jam — Clearing.
