Torque Loader Help

[Stokecity_m]

Got a Torque Loader, now it's mint when not full.

however when the hopper is full of paint it wont feed

any ideas why?

 

[Alex R]

When you say full do you mean FULL, if so it maybe that there is'nt enough room for the paddles to move freely and feed consistantly, same happens to vlocitys

 

[Stokecity_m]

it's not bustingfull - just 140 pot worth

Not sure then mate, other than batteries? Heard that they jam if over filled and that they are a greedy hopper power wise

 

[Stokecity_m]

two brand new pro cell 9v put in

can't be over filling, as 140 should be fine at least really

 

[Alex R]

Should be ok then, as it's a 160 capacity you'll be ok with 140's..............

tried again - fill up, turn on, nothing

sake it and one or two fall though - do that a few times, then bang it kicks in and feeds like it should.

I have tried one of these, but didn't get on to well with it, as you know i have & still tried a fue different types of hoppers in my time (understatement), & this happen to me aswell if you fill them up to much... sell it & buy one of these...

It does say in the instructions (It's not the man thing to do but yes i did read the instructions) that you shouldn't turn it on when its loaded with paint. It says you should turn it on and then fill it.
I've been told its something to do with the electronics monitoring for jams by checking the resistance against the motor. When trying to start up loaded the resistance is too high and it thinks there is a jam.
