WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM

______________________________________________________________________________________________

TROUBLESHOOTING

______________________________________________________________________________________________

Problem:

 No wheel drive - forward or reverse

Possible Cause & Remedy:

1

Tripped wheel drive circuit breaker - press reset button and check circuit breaker for continuity.

2

Defective wheel drive motor - follow instructions below to test.

• Jack up the front of the machine to lift the drive wheel off the floor.

• Turn Key Switch 

(11)

 OFF.

• Disconnect one of the battery cables.

• Remove the back panel from control handle.

• Disconnect the white/green wire from the M2 terminal on the speed control.  Connect this wire to one of the B+
terminals (also on the speed control).

• Disconnect the blue wire from the M1 terminal on the speed control.  Connect this wire to one of the B- terminals
(also on the speed control).

• Reconnect the battery cable and then turn key ON.  If the wheel motor turns, go to steps 3.  If the wheel motor does
not turn, remove the tanks and batteries, tip the machine on its side and repair or replace the wheel drive motor.

3

Defect in potentiometer mechanism - follow instructions below to test.

• Make sure that the white, green and black wires are firmly connected to the potentiometer.  The white wire should
be on the potentiometer terminal closest to the front of the machine, the green wire on the center terminal and the
black wire on the terminal closest to the back of the machine.

• Disconnect the potentiometer plug (the one with the green, black and white wires) from the speed control.

• Connect an ohmmeter to the green and white wires.  

NOTE:

  Inserting a paper clip into the plug end will help in the

attachment of the test leads.  Meter should read 2400 - 2600 ohms in neutral and increase to 5000 ohms when the
twist grips are turned to the full-forward position.  If you do not get these readings, follow potentiometer adjustment
instructions.  If you do get these readings, go to the next test.

• Connect an ohmmeter to the green and black wires.  Meter should read 2400 - 2600 ohms in neutral and decrease
to 100 - 300 ohms when the twist grips are turned to the full-forward position.  If you do not get these readings, follow
potentiometer adjustment instructions.  If you do get these readings, the potentiometer is OK — replace the speed
control.
