PROBLEM PROBABLE CAUSE SOLUTIONS
The «beep» and alarm light
are intermittent / fast.
The stopping pawl is blocked
on the ratchet cam.
Low voltage.
One of the NEUTRAL/
REVERSE sensors has
failed.
Engage the PTO and try again (the pawl may be
blocked by the ratchet cam.
Check for loose connections. Clean all connections
with contact cleaner spray.
Make two or three tests in REVERSE. If the «beep»
keeps on for more than 5 seconds, the cycling ther-
mal breaker that sets the solenoid amperage to 8
amps indicates an error in the system. Wait four to
ve minutes to allow it to cool down before testing
again.
Switch off the tractor engine and the 12-volt pow-
er supply. Check the solenoid rubber protector for
damages and make sure the plunger still engages
in the solenoid.
Clean the solenoid plunger. If the internal micro
switch fails, replace the solenoid. Refer to page 102
for the verication procedure.
Check if the solenoid is switched on, if the chain
gets loose when you pull back the stop pawl manu-
ally (you have less than ve seconds to test it be-
fore it resets). Refer to page 102 for the verication
procedure.
Connect to a good battery or power source.
Check the sensor light for normal operation. Check
the REVERSE/ NEUTRAL adjustments. Replace if
necessary.
The «beep» and alarm light
are intermittent.
Normal metal detection.
Follow the recoended machine stopping procedure.
Remove the metal object and re-initialize the metal
detection system.
The alarm «beep» and light
are continuous or irregular
for no reason.
Defective breakers, switch-
es, electrical wires and plugs,
electronic board.
Check all components for possible failures. The
electronic board should be serviced by a qualied
technician approved by the manufacturer.
The metal detection
system is not functioning
