Motor Runs, but with
Insufficient power or with
low RPM
1. Insufficient Battery
2. Electrical cables from
battery to speed reducer is
too small
3. Bad electrical connections
4. Insufficient charging system
1. Check battery terminal voltage
under load. If 10 volts or less,
replace or parallel another battery
to it at the motor terminal.
2. Refer to cable guide, page 7
3. Check all connections for
looseness or corrosion, then
tighten, clean and grease if
applicable
4. Insufficient charging system
Motor will not Operate
1. Inoperative solenoid or
stuck solenoid
2. Inoperative switch
3. Inoperative Motor
4. Loose connections
1. Check battery terminal voltage
under load. If 10 volts or less,
replace or parallel another battery
to it at the motor terminal.
2. Check voltage and “on”
connection, then check the back
of the rocker switch and at
solenoid terminals
3. If solenoids operate, check for
voltage at motor terminals.
Replace motor if needed.
4. Check all terminal connections
Rocker Switch Operates in
Wrong Direction
1. Hitting rocker switch “up”
button deploys rather than
retrieves (or vice versa)
1. Switch leads 1 and 3 on solenoid
terminals. See diagram for specific unit.
