4.4 FAULT CONDITIONS & RECOVERY
4.4.1 OVERLOAD RESET
If the AG Duo has become blocked, the brush has become jammed or the machine has been
driven into an obstruction, an electrical overload will likely occur. The overloaded
mechanism will automatically stop. Once the cause of the overload has been identified and
removed (see 4.4.2 below), the procedure for resetting depends on the mechanism that has
stalled, as follows:
Device
Re-Set Procedure
Brush Lift/Lower
Briefly operate the switch to the opposite direction from when it
stalled.
Brush Rotation
Briefly switch the brush off.
Conveyor
Briefly switch the conveyor off.
Auger
Briefly switch the auger off.
Axle Drive
Switch to the opposite direction position and gently operate the
throttle until the AG Duo moves slightly.
Scraper Lift/Lower
Briefly operate the switch to the opposite direction from when it
stalled.
4.4.2 BLOCKAGE REMOVAL
Always make sure the AG Duo is stopped on flat ground, is then isolated (see
Section 1.2.5), and has the parking brake applied (see Section 1.2.6).
Wear appropriate PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) when carrying out all
maintenance or service work.
If, during the dispensing of the bedding product, the auger or conveyor stalls, follow the
procedure below:
1. Bring the AG Duo to a stop and isolate the machine, ensuring that the isolator switch is
removed (see Section 1.2.5).
2. Apply the parking brake (see Section 1.2.6).
3. Look into the hopper and remove any foreign objects.
4. Look along the conveyor bed and remove any foreign objects.
5. The use of a pry bar is recommended to remove any blockage to minimise the potential
for entrapment, cuts and bruises.
6. Once any foreign objects have been removed turn on the machine and test.
7. If the AG Duo is still blocked, stop and isolate the machine and contact your local dealer
or Garnett Farms Engineering Ltd for further advice.
