breaker resets, try operating. If breaker
does not reset, disconnect power, replace
breaker and try activating again.

If system has a battery cutoff switch,
ensure it is turned to “ON” position.
B. Verify correct system wiring. See Wiring
Diagram in Switch Control installation
instructions.

Wait several minutes and try again. If it still
does not work, circuit breaker may have
detected a continuous short and the short

hear a clicking noise
from inside Switch Control, but nothing

A. Verify the Switch Control receives a
minimum of 12 volts from battery.
B. Verify at least 12 volts transmit to motor
terminals. If the Switch Control receives
12 volts but does not transmit 12 volts,
problem may be in Switch Control.

(use caution around moving parts). If
motor receives 12 volts and doesn’t turn,
problem may be in motor.
D. If Switch Control transmits 12 volts to
motor, and it does not receive 12 volts,
problem may be wires connecting Switch
Control to motor.

motor, however, tarp motor turns freely
while tarp does not move.
A. Check pin connections in shaft between
motor and roll tube. If missing, replace
sheared bolt or pin with new clevis pin.
B. Check tarp system for damaged or
misaligned parts and correct as needed.
C. Ensure tarp is free from obstruction.

switch. Motor engages but stalls and
