SYMPTOM
POSSIBLE CAUSES
SOLUTIONS
Operator does not
run and error code
display not on.
a) No power to control board
b) Open fuse
c) If on battery power only, low or dead batteries
d) Defective control board
a) Check AC and battery power
b) Check fuses
c) Charge batteries by AC or solar power or replace batteries
d) Replace defective control board
Control board
powers up, but
motor does not
run.
a) Reset switch is stuck
b)
Stop button active or jumper not in place
for stop circuit
c) If on battery power only, low or dead batteries
d) Open or Close input active
e) Entrapment Protection Device active
f) Vehicle loop detector or probe active
g) Defective control board
a) Check reset switch
b)
Check Stop button is not “stuck on”, or verify that the stop button is a
normally closed circuit, or put a jumper on the stop circuit.
c) Charges batteries by AC or solar power or replace batteries
d) Check all Open and Close inputs for a “stuck on” input
e) Check all Entrapment Protection Device inputs for a “stuck on” sensor
f) Check all vehicle detector inputs for a “stuck on” detector
g) Replace defective control board
