SEE THE RADIO CONTROL MANUAL
FOR ANY OPERATING PROBLEMS
WITH THE RADIO RECEIVER &
TRANSMITTER
(Included in the back of this manual)
•
Contact your Carlton dealer if you need
assistance not the radio control
manufacturer.
•
First check the batteries to make sure
they are providing enough power to
operate the transmitter.
•
There is a low battery light on the
transmitter, when it starts flashing you
have approximately 10 hours of
operation before the batteries die.
•
Remove the back cover on the
transmitter. Remove old batteries and
replace with new batteries. The
transmitter operates using 4 AA alkaline
batteries.
•
Next, open the cover on the machine
control box. You will need to be able to
see the lights on the receiver to compare
to the trouble indicators on the receiver
diagnostic list in the radio control
manual. Check the light configuration
and compare it to the Receiver
Diagnostic list in the radio control
manual.
•
If status light on radio receiver is
flashing red, a fuse is blown. To change
a fuse, remove the receiver from the
cover and change the fuse. Inspect
wiring for short circuits (e.g. bare wires).
If problem re-occurs, call for service.
Push the receiver panel back up into the
cover until the tabs snap back into place.
•
Always replace the cover when
maintenance or troubleshooting is
complete. DO NOT RUN MACHINE
WITHOUT ALL GUARDS & COVERS
