Slide Plate(s)
Location:
The slide plates are located on the solenoid
mounting plate immediately beneath the hopper open-
ings.
The slide plates must always remain flat for
proper operation.
Test Procedure:
With the solenoid mounting plate attached to
the hopper, push the solenoid plunger into the coil.
The slide plate must move freely in the assembly and
snap closed when the plunger is released. Repeat for
the other slide plate.
If the slide plates move as described, they are
operating correctly.
If the slide plates do not move as described, the
problem may be in any one or more of the linkage
pieces, springs, slide plates, and/or the solenoid
mounting plate. Disassemble the solenoid mounting
plate assembly and inspect all components for free
movement.
Replace if excessively worn or damaged.
Removal and Replacement:
1. Remove the hopper from the grinder.
2. Remove six slotted head screws holding the
solenoid mounting panel to the hopper.
3. The slide plate with attached linkage can be lifted
off the pivot pin and removed with the solenoid
plunger.
4. Refer to the illustration above when reassem-
bling the components.
5. Inspect the slide plates after reassembly.
They must move freely.
