How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power before working near the conveyor mechanism.

  • Inspect racks: Check racks for bent corners, broken wires, or deformed wheels that could catch on guides. Replace damaged racks.
  • Check guide rails: Ensure side guides are straight, securely mounted, and free of obstructions.
  • Adjust chain tension: If the conveyor chain is too loose or too tight, adjust tension according to Hobart specifications (technician-level task).
  • Verify sensors: Clean and check operation of rack presence sensors or limit switches that control conveyor movement.
  • Test operation: After adjustments, run empty racks through to confirm smooth travel.
