Crown WAV50-118:
weak steering

We have a wave that goes straight without an issue. But the turning is very slow and wide in both directions - it can't really make a sharp turn because of this.


We noticed by lifting the machine off the ground that when we turn right on the wave the right wheel/motor goes slower then the left wheel/motor - in opposite directions as per design of the unit.

We turn left. Both motors seem to be going the same speed - but still very little power - in opposite directions as per design of the unit

Any idea what might be wrong?

Thanks.

Hi crownie,
It leans to the right.

sounds to me like a steering sensor problem
even possibly a contactor problem

You've been swooped!

it is most likely faulty drive motors
if you drive in a straight line does it veer to one side
if you have gates open and drive full speed forward
then quickly change to reverse does it pull to one side
or stop in a straight line
