Troubleshooting guide
When diagnosing the DEWEZE ATM70C, begin with a methodical assessment of symptoms and operating conditions. Establish baseline operating parameters, such as temperatures, pressures, and cycle times, before initiating any corrective actions. Document any recent maintenance, environmental factors, or unusual noises that could indicate an underlying issue. A careful, stepwise approach helps differentiate between intermittent faults and chronic wear, reducing unnecessary component replacement. Always prioritize safety by isolating power sources and using lockout/tagout procedures where applicable to protect personnel during diagnostic procedures.
Symptom based diagnosis flowchart: Start with the most observable symptom and follow a logical progression of checks. If the unit fails to initialize, verify power supply, fuses, and control panel indicators, then confirm that the ignition or start sequence is being correctly commanded by the control logic. If performance is degraded, measure input voltages, sensor readings, and actuator responses while the machine is under load to identify bottlenecks. For abnormal vibrations or noises, inspect mounting hardware, belting, and rotating assemblies for looseness or imbalance. If alarms are present, cross-reference error codes with the manufacturer’s database and perform targeted tests on the subsystem indicated by the code, documenting any variance from standard operating values.
Common fault codes and remediation steps: Start with validating the fault code against recent event history and sensor data. For power-related codes, inspect the power supply, grounding, and electrical connections for continuity and corrosion. Codes related to temperature or thermal management typically require checking cooling fans, heat exchangers, and thermal sensors for proper operation and calibration. If a fault code points to a hydraulic or pneumatic subsystem, examine pressure regulators, seals, and lines for leaks or blockages, ensuring correct fluid levels and filter cleanliness. When a communication or control-code fault appears, verify network integrity, baud rates, and firmware compatibility across controllers, and consider a safe firmware refresh if the fault persists. Each remediation should be validated by repeating the diagnostic test to confirm that the code no longer reappears and that normal operating parameters are restored.
When to replace rather than repair components: Not every fault is economical or feasible to repair. If a component demonstrates recurrent failures, signs of excessive wear, or has reached or surpassed its expected service life, replacement is often more reliable than repair. Evaluate the cost and downtime associated with continued repairs versus the reliability gained by a new part. For critical safety or performance subsystems, a proactive replacement strategy can minimize unscheduled downtime and reduce risk. Prior to replacement, conduct a root cause analysis to ensure that the failure was not caused by external factors such as improper lubrication, misalignment, or incorrect installation, and implement corrective actions to prevent recurrence. Always compare total costs, including labor, potential downtime, and impact on production, before deciding on a replacement strategy.
Reassembly procedures and system tests
Reassembly of the DEWEZE ATM70C requires meticulous adherence to the specified sequence to ensure reliable operation and long-term reliability. Begin by confirming that all gaskets, seals, and fasteners are in good condition and correctly sized for the engine and hydraulic subsystems.

Use appropriate lubrication on sliding interfaces and apply thread lockers only where indicated by the service data, ensuring that fasteners are torqued to the manufacturer’s specifications. After each major subassembly is connected, perform a visual inspection to verify that lines, hoses, and electrical connectors are fully seated and secured. A clean, organized work area with labeled fasteners helps reduce the risk of component mix-ups during the process.
Critical torque specifications must be observed to prevent under- or over-tightening, which can cause premature wear or structural damage. Utilize a calibrated torque wrench and follow the exact sequence provided for fastener tightening, typically progressing from the center outward or using a cross-pattern to distribute loads evenly. After tightening, recheck key fasteners in the recommended interval to confirm that no relaxation or loosening has occurred due to thermal cycling or vibration. Document any deviations from the standard torque values and replace fasteners if they show signs of rounding, stretching, or crushing. The use of lubricants and anti-seize compounds should comply with the OEM guidelines to ensure predictable clamping forces and corrosion resistance.
Leak testing and pressure verification are essential to confirm system integrity before full operation. Initiate a preliminary leak check at low pressure by inspecting all seals, gaskets, and joints for signs of seepage while the system is at ambient temperature. Gradually increase the pressure to the specified operating level, monitoring for stable readings and absence of drips or spray from joints and fittings. If any leaks are detected, depressurize the system, isolate the affected area, and replace the faulty seal or gasket before re-testing. Record pressure hold times, flow rates, and any observed fluctuations to aid in diagnostics. Ensure that all pressure relief devices are correctly set and functional to prevent over-pressurization during testing.
System startup checks and calibration confirmation are the final steps to validate proper operation after reassembly. Verify electrical connections, sensor calibrations, and control parameters against the original specifications, correcting any discrepancies as needed. Perform a staged startup sequence, monitoring critical indicators such as temperatures, pressures, and motor currents to ensure they rise and stabilize within expected ranges. Conduct functional tests on all subsystems, including readouts, alarms, and safety interlocks, to confirm reliable performance under typical operating conditions. If calibration procedures involve alignment or timing adjustments, use the prescribed reference values and document the results for future maintenance cycles. A post-test inspection should confirm all panels, guards, and protective devices are securely in place and free of interference with moving parts.
