Could you send me Parts Manual for Crown Wav50-118 on my e-mail?

Oh yes! TVH from Belgium has them in offer but the price difference is not to great. I rather choose CRown.

could you please help me with part manual for it?thanks

I can't tell you exactly. I've never installed aftermarket motors.
I've installed a lot of Crown new NEO type motors and they are a good investment. Not cheap doe...

hy,could you please tell me what brand and reference have you installed on Crown Wav 50-118 ,thanks

It's the usual breakdown problem, my wave won't steer properly, we found that a different type of brush compound, used by our recon motor sparky, has worked a treat, as crownie says they need to be run in too.

Hello 1Crusader,
what brand/model are the motors?

Hey, I have replaced the motors on two newer units with after market motors, (not crown) and have had no problems.
The motors you get from the parts source has the wrong plug connector on it so just use the old ones.

Well,
that just says how usefull this little machines are...

If there wouldn't be problems with drive motors, with minimal maintenance you should only have to change the batteries every 2-3 years. With todays offer that's not a big investment.

We went a little bit of topic...
Did someone installed replacement motors?
Were they any good?

I am surprised people put as much into repairing their wavs as they do, 2 motors and 4 batteries as often as they seem to go bad on such a small unit seems a lot of money, these motors are not as inexpensive as they may look...
I know places that gone through 6 wav drive motors in 30 months on 1 unit.

I don't get this last part were you are surprised... You mean people tried diferent types of motors and they all went bad?

the WAV drive motors were designed to have a "high egress rating", meaning that it is pretty difficult for anything (like a paper clip) to get into the motors, but that means the motors are pretty well sealed up and do not have much ability for the dust from the brushes to get out, and the brushes wear out, the carbon builds up, and the brushes are not what I would define as "overly robust" especially in the brush springs, so brush spring breakage is a pretty fair concern too. I would also say that the Curtis controller fitted in these is a very sensitive controller to shorts or other types of stray electrical signal, which reads a build up of brush dust as a potential short.
Also WAVs were designed for a very flat and smooth floor (retail big box store, as a replacement for ladders on the retail floor, not to replace order pickers or golf carts, which seems to be how a lot of people wish they could be used), so in a warehouse with a few floor drains and cracks in the concrete, a wheel getting caught and then the operator trying to drive out and stalling the drive motor until it opens/burns a bar on the commutator or expands the armature, happens more often than it was expected in the original design specifications.
I would also say that poor battery maintenance causes a lot of earlier than expected drive motor failure in these units.
these are just my experiences in working on these
I think a generation 2 WAV with A/C traction motors and controllers would cure this part of the concern with these. but for now we get another drive motor.
I am always surprised that anyone fixes their WAV with a 3rd set of drive motors, and they always wish there was "another alternative". I see a few companies answering this 'demand for a product ' with 'low level order pickers' and smaller 1 man motive powered aerial lifts.

What exactly happens to this motors?
