Crown 35RRTT:
24 volt model....

hi gents
ive brought home a 35rrtt198.
have been charging the (11x 2volt cell) battery with the worst cell isolated. it shows 23.6v (with surface charge included....)
im getting nothing at all at truck...no light, no movement, no sounds,(though i did briefly hear a motor spinning and a gurgling sound)...
after having read plenty here tonight, im going to start tomorrow by looking at the fuses, the cards, hydraulic oil level and maybe motor brushes...
any advice for a newbie is greatly appreciated!
ps. is this machine a goody?, ie, can be kept operational fairly cheaply?
cheers
pps was quoted 300 for the manual!!! omg!!

The motors will run, but you need the valves to open to direct the oil in the right direction. We can send pics in the email. By the way, if your truck has 2 lift motors...it should be a 36v system

Yes, that is the brake fluid reservoir, and you need dot5 fluid. On the side of the drive motor is the slave cylinder. Pump the left foot pedal a few times, hold it down, and loosen the bleed screw to get the air out of that system. This forum doesn't let you post pictures, how can I directly contact you?

ok so the small cylindrical aluminium reservoir is confirmed as the brake fluid tank...nothing like having a near 3T machine moving under gravity!!!

so late yesterday, i removed the top cover from machine...
gasp!! found that come critters had made themselves a home inside!!
bless them, they had also chewed on a whole lot of wiring.
im guessing its the control unit...has appx 10 terminals on each side...got the wiring all back together now and still machine behaving the same.
now to locate some bleed screws!!
thanks!!

Looks like you have to start cracking open some hoses and cylinder bleed screws to get the oil flowing again
