4. Picture is blurry, will not focus, or has poor color.
•
This may be a dirty camera view port, or a narrow object lying in front of the view port.
•
Object may be too close to the camera.
Vehicle Problems
1.
Parallel vehicle won’t steer or runs backward.
•
Chassis type is set incorrectly. Refer to the crawler configuration menu to set the chassis type.
•
One or more track reversals are set.
2. Tracks are running too fast or too slow.
•
Re-zero the joystick calibration. Refer to the calibration menu to zero joysticks.
•
Verify tether resistance settings.
•
Verify track type. Refer to crawler configuration menu to set track type and tether resistance.
3. Tracks running or creeping even with joystick centered.
•
Re-zero the joystick calibration. Refer to the calibration menu to zero joysticks.
•
Tether resistance is set incorrectly. Refer to crawler configuration menu to set track type and
tether resistance.
4. Tracks slow down excessively when under load.
•
Tether resistance is set incorrectly. Refer to crawler configuration menu to set track type and
tether resistance.
5. Tracks run out of control or speed up when under load.
•
Tether resistance is set incorrectly. Refer to crawler configuration menu to set track type and
tether resistance.
6. Tracks will not run.
•
Check the current meters.
•
If current is at 100% then the tracks may be stalled. They could be wedged on an object
or jammed with sand. Try reversing the tracks to clear any debris. If a jam will not clear,
you will have to recover the vehicle by pulling it out with the tether.
•
If no current is registering then power is not getting to the tracks. Check all the cable
connections.
•
Try changing tracks.
•
Inspect the vehicle wiring for damage.
•
Check all the system connectors.
•
Listen for the track motors.
If the motors run but the track doesn’t turn, suspect a mechanical
fault in the drivetrain. Refer to the assembly diagram in the track drawing package.
7.
Main lights don’t function even when the dial is turned to maximum.
•
Check all the cable connections.
•
Inspect for blown bulbs. See your manual on how to change the bulb.
•
Ensure there is no water in the lights. This can cause the light fuse to blow.
•
Check the light fuse on the front panel.
•
Verify the light whips are plugged in fully and any unused whips are fitted with dummy plugs.
