9. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your conveyor, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Conveyor belt does not move. | No power, power adapter not connected, reverse switch in 'stop' position. | Check power connection, ensure adapter is plugged in, set reverse switch to 'forward' or 'reverse'. |
| Belt moves slowly or inconsistently. | Speed controller set too low, excessive load, debris obstructing belt. | Adjust speed controller, reduce load, inspect and clear any obstructions. |
| Unusual noise during operation. | Debris in rollers, loose components. | Disconnect power, inspect rollers for debris and remove. Check for any loose screws or parts and tighten if necessary. |
