PowerWind runs intermittently
1. Battery cap installed properly?
2. Battery installed into
PowerWind properly?
3. PWC Only. Pushing on entire
pedal?
4. Lid switch seated properly?
5. Motor wires connected?
6. Circuit breaker activating?
1. Remove and reinstall the battery cap. Make sure
the terminals on the battery go inside the
terminals on the battery cap. Also check to be
sure there are no signs that plastic melted onto the
battery cap bands. When the battery is not fully
inserted behind the two front tabs, this creates
high heat and arcing which damages the pathway,
preventing the unit from operating. Replace the
cap.
2. The battery must fall behind the two tabs in the
battery housing. The battery should be pushed in
and down at the same time to make it seat
properly.
3. When pushing down on the pedal, make sure the
entire pedal is being used. Pushing on the tip
alone can cause sporadic operation.
4. Check the switch under the lid. It should be
tightly secured to the side panel. If it is loose,
push it onto the post until the snap engages.
5. Remove the motor cover. Make sure both wires
are securely attached to the motor. Reconnect the
terminals if they are loose.
6. Will the unit run again after waiting a minute? If
so, the circuit breaker is cutting out. Reduce the
load on the unit by doubling the hose back on
itself. Rubber hose is very heavy, and can cause
the breaker to trip as well. Vinyl hose should be
used.
