FAILURE OF SPECIFIC FUNCTIONS
1.
If all functions except the vibrator do not work
,
there is a problem in either part of the large circular “cannon”
plug connector portion of the control box to the Turf Tender
wiring harness. Check the connections to ensure that they
are fully connected, clean, and not damaged.
If after uncoupling the Turf Tender on trailer-type models,
it has happened that the operator drove off without
disconnecting the power cable from the tractor and forgetting
to return the control box to its storage location the connector
may get damaged.
2.
If all functions except the vibrator work
, the
problem is most likely with the small, circular cannon plug
connector portion of the wiring harness. Check the
connections to ensure they are fully connected, clean, and
not damaged.
If the vibrator still does not work, check the voltage at
the two pins exiting out of the smaller cannon plug connector
on the control box. Make sure they are clean and not
damaged.
If no voltage is detected while the vibrator switch is ON,
open the control box (or controller/fuse box) and check the
fuse. Replace as needed.
If the fuse is working properly, check the voltage at the
switch terminal while it is in the ON position. If no voltage is
detected, replace the switch. The switch is rated at 12 volts
DC, 20 amps. Do not use an underrated switch as a
replacement.
4. Open the control box, and check the voltage between the
chassis ground screw (located on the inner left wall) and
the power lead (located on the fuse block). If no voltage
is detected, but voltage was present at the end of the
main power harness, the problem is in the power pigtail of
the control box. Repair or replace as necessary.
5. Check the voltage between the control box’s chassis
ground screw (on the left side wall) and the brass buss
bar running across the top of the fuse block. If there is no
voltage detected, check all connections.
WARNING
Prior to closing the control box lid, make sure the
rubber sheet is laying over the top of the fuse
block. This serves as an insulator to keep the
control wires from rubbing on the fuse block and
possibly shorting. Failure to do so could result in
loss of control, injury, or even death.
