TROUBLESHOOTING
The following are some procedures to follow before calling in for service or warranty work:
UNIT DOES NOT RUN
1. Check Ba ery & Connec ons.
2. Check Electric Motor.
Use a double lead jumper and connect the motor’s two
prong plug directly to a ba ery.
3. If the motor s ll does not work, disconnect the motor from the
actuator (held on by two small nuts) and plug directly to the
ba ery.
4. If the motor works when it is disconnected from the actuator, the
actuator/motor assembly needs replaced.
5. If the motor does not work when disconnected from the actuator,
the motor needs replaced.
6. Check Relay Control & Push Bu on Switch.
Unplug the three prong connector at the relay control
and run a jumper wire between the red and the green wires to
go down and between the red and blue wires to go up.
If the unit does not run the problem is the Relay Control.
If it does work then the problem is the Push Bu on Switch.
UNIT RUNS IN ONE DIRECTION ONLY
Check Relay Control & Push Bu on Switch
Unplug the three prong connector at the relay control
and run a jumper wire between the Red and the Green wires to
go down and between the Red and Blue wires to go up.
If the unit does not run the problem is the Relay Control.
If it does work then the problem is the Push Bu on Switch.
UNIT RUNS BUT MAKES A GRINDING NOISE AND HAS LOW POWER
Gear case low on grease. Add a couple of pumps of
marine grade grease.
UNIT RUNS BUT DOES NOT MOVE
Replace Actuator.
UNIT RUNS BUT MAKES CLICKING NOISE OR JUMPS
Replace actuator.
UNIT STARTS AND RUNS ON ITS OWN
Replace relay control.
DETERMINE IF WATER IS IN ELECTRIC MOTOR
Remove through bolt that is closest to the wires and look for an
indica on of rust on the bolt. Rust indicates water inside of the motor
housing. Motor and actuator should be replaced.
