CONSOLE DOES NOT POWER ON
Corrective Action
1. Check for blown fuse, located in positive battery lead. If blown, replace
with blade-type, same size fuse.
2. Check for poor connections to the battery; remove any corrosion. Also
check battery polarity.
3. Check the red ignition wire.
4. Visually inspect power cable from rear of Console to battery. If
damaged, replace cable/repair.
5. If no problem can be found with power connection or power cable,
console may be at fault. Contact DICKEY-john Technical Support at
1-800-637-3302.

system may have reverted to the manual override function to
compensate for a sensor failure (liquid flowmeter, conveyor/auger sensor or
spinner sensor). If so, the system is operating in open loop control to allow
spreading/spraying to continue until sensor repair/replacement is possible.
Corrective Action for Granular System:
1. If material is not spreading (Conveyor or auger stopped).
• Make sure the PTO is engaged.
• Check for lodged obstacles in conveyor or auger.
• Check for a hydraulic system failure (pump, valve, hydraulic motor).
2. If material is spreading (conveyor or auger turning).
• Check for a disconnected or slipping conveyor sensor coupling.
• Unplug connector nearest the conveyor sensor. Check for +12V
between the RED and BLK wires and +8V between the GRN and BLK
wires. Absence of either voltage indicates a broken or shorted wire
within the cable assembly or a corroded pin in the connector. If
voltages are present, replace the conveyor sensor.
Corrective Action for Liquid System
1. If liquid is not spraying.
• Check tanks for proper level.
• Check liquid filters for plugging.
• Check pump and wires to pump for corrosion and correct voltage.
2. If liquid is spraying.
• Check flowmeter for debris jamming the paddle wheel.
• Unplug the connector nearest the flowmeter sensor. Check for +12V
between the RED and BLK wires and +8V between the GRN and BLK
wires. The absence of either voltage indicates a broken or shorted wire
