Pellet Machine 260 – Diesel – Help, Spares & Service

1 Fix a common problem

Tap what's happening. Try the checks – most problems are fixed in a few minutes.

Always switch off, remove the key or unplug, and wait for every part to stop before you open, clear or adjust the machine.

1It won't start

Try this first:

Petrol/diesel: check there is fuel and that the fuel tap is open.
Check the engine oil level – many engines will not start when the oil is low.
Petrol: use the choke on a cold engine and check the engine switch is ON.
Electric: check the plug, the isolator switch and the circuit breaker at the board.

2Pellets crumble or don't form

Try this first:

Your mix is probably too dry – add a little water or molasses and mix well.
A cold die gives poor pellets: run a little oily mix through first to warm it up.
Use finely milled material – coarse meal does not bind well.

3The die is blocked

Try this first:

Before switching off, always run some oily mix through so the die stays clean.
If it is blocked: switch off, let it cool, then clear the holes or ask us for help.

4Motor or engine stalls

Try this first:

5Output is low

Try this first:

Tap a part – WhatsApp opens with the part and your machine already written in. Add your serial number and, if you can, a photo of the old part.

Before each use: check that the die and rollers are tight, and (diesel models) the oil and fuel level.
While working: feed the mix evenly – don't overload the die.
After each use: empty the hopper and clean off feed while the machine cools down.
Regularly: check the rollers and die for wear, check the belt or coupling, and grease the bearings.
