When I step on the petal in the basket to operate the controls the motodies .Any appreciated thanks in
Welcome to HEF woodents. :drinkup Has it always been like this, or is this something new that has happened?
it sounds like one of the micro-switches in the foot pedal is not doing its job. JLG had a funky wiring set-up in the FootSwitch. There were 2 MicroSwitches interwired. One switch supplied Negative and the other switch provided Positive for on-pedal control activation. They were adjustable for simultaneous activation with a set-screw. If the switch providing Positive activates but the Negative switch doesn't, then the Circuit Breaker will open (hopefully) because of the direct short circuit. No big deal, just be aware...do not eliminate the circuit breaker. The switches are activated by a spring loaded apparatus that, if adjusted correctly, would provide function lock-out and engine start with the foot pedal not pressed, and provide function power and engine start lock-out when the foot pedal was pressed. If a switch is not adjusted properly or not operating correctly, it can result in a direct short circuit causing the circuit breaker to trip. You should hear only one click at these switches when pressing the foot pedal. This would signify that both switches are triggering at the same time. If you hear two distinct clicks while slowly pressing on the foot pedal this means that one switch is triggering before the other. This will cause the circuit breaker to trip. Here is a drawing of the switches inside the foot pedal showing the switches with the pedal not pressed:
Yep, I've seen water get in the foot switch and do some funky things to ignition voodoo.
No it just started. However I will ck. That thx!
If the switches are Out of time it will cause the engine to die also. Check if you have one or two clicks. If two they are just out of time. Chances are unless the screws have been sealed you won't get the cover off.
Would double clicking the switch shut the engine down? Sometimes it does and sometimes doesn't would the foot pedal be the likely culprit?
The switches have to be timed together. If one trips and the other doesn't it creates a short it then trips the cb. If the switches are adjusted too lower and you foot comes slightly off the bottom while driving it will trip the cb. They both have to click and they have to do it at the same time.
I'm heading to the jobsite now to see if I can adjust. the switches .Thanks so much for all the info!! QUOTE=willie59;377346]Welcome to HEF woodents. :drinkup Has it always been like this, or is this something new that has happened?[/QUOTE]
Hey guys It worked!!! Thanks so much!! It was a combination of the timing on the petal and also discovered a loose wire on the e stop switch.
Good to hear you got it sorted out.
jlg model 34HA Is there anyway to have positive traction? Instead of only one wheel turning at a time. The machines are 2 wheel drive, I also have a 40HA. Thanks,
