Discussion:
Platform will not lift from Traction Control Pod buttons

I had to change out a bad battery....I changed it OK, re-connected the charger to be sure all batteries were charged up (good to 25.3 VDC combined 6.1 - 6.3 VDC each).... I cannot lift the platform up and down...?? The Platform will lift up and down well in bypass mode from the front control panel switch.

I disassembled the the Traction Pod to check the switches; A-Okay? Checked the fuses; the hand sensor works correctly, the brake switches appear OK (they fault when foot is removed), cannot tell if the gate switches work but appear to be working.... What happened? Been all though the book's trouble shooting sections (Service and Parts Manual)... I don't have a hand-held controller but have the fault codes from the manual.... Need help, my shop is down, what am I missing?

Showing items 1 - 3 of 3 results.
What code flashes on the display? *Things to quickly check*
(1) on the top of the front control panel, there are 2 connectors. Check to make sure they are plugged in and none of the wires pushed out.
(2) is the platform/base switch working?

Fact of the week
Goldfish are opportunistic feeders that have no stomach and lack that natural "fullness" signal. This means they will eat constantly if food is available, leading to serious health issues such as blocked intestines and obesity from overfeeding.
