These symptoms may also result from a discharged or defective battery, damaged motor, failed switch, broken wiring, poor terminal contact, safety-interlock fault, excessive mechanical load, or thermal protection event. Diagnose the complete electrical system before replacing the controller.
Installation & Service Notes
- Switch off the equipment and remove the battery before service.
- Remove any safety key or disconnect device when equipped.
- Allow the motor and electronic components to cool completely.
- Work in a clean, dry area free from conductive debris.
- Use appropriate electrostatic-discharge precautions.
- Open the equipment housing according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
