SERVICE (Cont.)
Location:
The slide plates are located on the solenoid mount-
ing plate immediately beneath the hopper openings.
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.
