Why is my Manitowoc Grove YB5515-2 Construction Equipment alternator not charging?
- M
  Morgan HawkinsAug 15, 2025
  Several factors can cause an alternator to not charge. It could be due to a loose or broken alternator belt, in which case you should replace and/or tighten it to specification. Other potential causes include worn brushes, open brush leads or connections, an open circuit, short circuit, or grounded stator winding. A faulty voltage regulator, short circuit or open circuit in rectifier diodes, or an open circuit or short circuit in the rotor winding could also be the reason. Check for incorrectly connected, loose, or broken wires, referring to the wiring diagram for proper connections and repairing or replacing any faulty wires. Lastly, inspect the slip rings for dirt or bad connections, cleaning or repairing them as needed.

What to do if Manitowoc Grove YB5515-2 Construction Equipment starter motor does not turn?
- L
  Laura WallaceAug 18, 2025
  If the starter motor isn't turning, begin by checking for open circuits, and cleaning and tightening any dirty or loose connections at the battery and starter. Also, inspect the wiring and connections between the ignition switch and starter solenoid. If connections are good, the starter relay or ignition switch may be faulty and need replacement. Other possible causes include a worn starter motor, a bad starter solenoid, a dead battery (recharge or replace), failure to engage the parking brake, or a bad neutral start relay. If the problem is internal to the engine, consult the engine manual.

What causes a high charging rate in Manitowoc Grove YB5515-2 Construction Equipment?
- J
  Jacob WellsAug 21, 2025
  A high charging rate, even when the battery is at full charge, can stem from several issues. Check the battery's electrolyte level and add distilled water if it's low. Inspect the wiring system for faults, repairing or replacing any faulty wiring. Ensure all connections are clean and tight. A malfunctioning voltage regulator can also lead to this problem, requiring replacement.

Why does my Manitowoc Construction Equipment winch motor run extremely hot?
- T
  travis52Aug 25, 2025
  A winch motor that runs extremely hot may be due to a long period of operation; cooling-off periods are essential to prevent overheating. It could also be caused by insufficient battery power; check the battery terminal voltage under load and replace the battery if it's 10 volts or less. A bad connection can also cause overheating; check battery cables for corrosion, clean, and grease them.

Why is my Manitowoc Grove YB5515-2 alternator noisy?
- V
  Victor JacobsAug 27, 2025
  Alternator noise can arise from a badly worn belt, which should be replaced and adjusted. Misaligned pulleys can also cause noise; align the fan and alternator pulleys. Check for a loose pulley, looking for a broken key or worn keyway, and tighten the pulley nut. Worn bearings or a short in the rectifier diodes within the alternator can also produce noise, requiring replacement or repair of the alternator.

What causes a low charging rate in Manitowoc Grove YB5515-2?
- P
  Patricia FernandezAug 30, 2025
  A low charging rate can be attributed to several factors. Check for a loose or worn alternator belt and adjust or replace it as needed. The alternator itself might be faulty, requiring replacement or repair. A bad battery or low electrolyte level can also cause this issue; replace the battery or add distilled water. Look for short circuits in the system and repair them. Other potential causes include a worn alternator, a malfunctioning voltage regulator, or low engine speed. Test, replace or repair the alternator, replace the voltage regulator or run the engine at a higher speed.

What to do if Manitowoc Construction Equipment winch motor runs but drum does not rotate?
- J
  Jeanne BeardSep 2, 2025
  If the winch motor runs but the drum doesn't rotate, first check if the clutch is not engaged and engage it. If the clutch is engaged, disassemble the hoist to determine the cause and repair it.

What to do if Manitowoc Grove YB5515-2 Construction Equipment winch motor will not operate?
- C
  Chelsey FischerSep 5, 2025
  If the winch motor won't operate, start by checking the solenoid for defects or sticking. Jar the solenoid to free the contacts and test by applying 12 volts to the coil terminal; you should hear a click when energized. Replace the solenoid if necessary. Also, check the control switch and replace it if defective. If the solenoids operate, check the voltage at the armature post; replace the motor if defective. Finally, ensure all connections on the bottom side of the hood and on the motor are tight.

Why does my Manitowoc Grove YB5515-2 winch motor run in only one direction?
- M
  mark90Sep 8, 2025
  If the winch motor runs in only one direction, the solenoid may be defective or stuck. Try jarring the solenoid to free the contacts and test by applying 12 volts to the coil terminal; you should hear an audible click when energized. If it's still not working, replace the solenoid. Another possible cause is a defective control switch, which should be checked and replaced if necessary.

Why does my Manitowoc Grove YB5515-2 winch motor run with insufficient power?
- A
  Amber JonesSep 12, 2025
  Insufficient power or slow line speed in a winch motor can be due to insufficient battery power. Check the battery terminal voltage under load; if it's 10 volts or less, replace the battery. A bad connection can also cause this issue; check battery cables for corrosion, clean, and grease them.
