Troubleshooting Chart

Problem

Possible Causes

Possible Solution

Motor does not run when  
control switch is activated.

Cab cut-off switch.

Turn switch to ON position.

Truck battery.

Make sure battery is fully charged. 
Check for loose or corroded battery 
connections.  
Replace or recharge battery.

Circuit protection fuse in power cable.

Replace fuse. Check the power cable 
fuse. “3.5.3 Checking the 175 Amp 
Power Cable Fuse” on page 11

Control box switch.

If the control switch does not work: 
 
Check the 10 Amp fuse. Replace, if fuse 
is blown.  If problem continues, check 
for shorts in the electrical system. “3.5.1 
Checking 10 Amp Control Switch Fuse” 
on page 11 
 
Check the power cable fuse. “3.5.3 
Checking the 175 Amp Power Cable 
Fuse” on page 11

Motor start solenoid.

Check solenoid. “3.5.4 Checking Motor 
Start Solenoid” on page 12

Power cable.

Connect motor directly to a spare 
battery. “3.5.5 Checking the Power 
Cable” on page 12

Motor.

If the motor is determined to be 
defective, it should be replaced.  
Defective motors are typically caused 
by weak batteries (low Voltage), loose 
connections, corrosion, or a poor 
ground.

If the motor does not operate in freezing conditions, make sure the motor housing 
does not contain water.

Sagging platform.

Normal wear.

Add shims to platform. “3.3 Mechanical 
Platform Adjustment” on page 8.

Bushing wear where lift arms connect to 
platform.

Replace bushings.

Structural damage.

Replace damaged parts.

Foaming oil.

Air in the hydraulic hose.

Check oil level in reservoir. “3.4.1 
Adding Fluid to Power Unit Reservoir” 
on page 9.

Broken or loose fluid return tube.

Remove the oil reservoir and make sure 
the return tube is below the oil level.  
If the tube has turned or fallen out, 
reinstall it into the pump housing.  Use 
a center punch to “stake” the tube into 
position.
