MODEL 3680 TROUBLE SHOOTING
TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE
PROBLEM - FEEDWHEEL WILL NOT TURN USING THE MANUAL CONTROLS: (cont.)
(All other hydraulic systems are working)
Possible Cause Possible Solutions
No hydraulic system pressure. Trace the pressure line from the valve bank back to
the manifold used for the Hydraulic Shut Down
system. Identify the electric solenoid for this circuit
and verify that you have a 24 volt reading (12 volt on
some models) with the ignition switch on. These
solenoid valves need to be energized or the oil is
pumped back to tank. If you have the proper voltage,
try swapping this solenoid with another to determine if
it is bad. If the problem moves to the circuit you
swapped with then the solenoid is at fault. If the
problem stays with the circuit you are working on then
the pump is your problem.
PROBLEM - FEEDWHEEL WILL NOT TURN USING THE RADIO OR TETHER CONTROLS:
(All other functions are working)
Possible Cause Possible Solutions
No electrical signal to the solenoid Check for electrical power at the solenoid while
on the control valve. engaging the switch on the remote used to operate
the Feedwheel. If you have electrical power at the
solenoid on the control valve then that means that the
solenoid is faulty. If there isn’t any electrical power
than you will need to refer to the electrical schematic
supplied with the machine to trace the problem. Could
be a broken wire or a faulty relay inside the engine
control panel.
Faulty switch in Remote Control. If using the radio remote, switch to the tether
remote and vice versa to determine if the problem
may be in the remote.
PROBLEM - FEEDWHEEL YOKE WILL NOT RAISE USING THE MANUAL CONTROLS:
(All other hydraulic systems are working)
Possible Cause Possible Solutions
Material wedged or bound up Do not attempt any type of maintenance without first
around Feedwheel Yoke. disengaging clutch, turning off engine, waiting for the
Cutterhead to come to a complete stop, turning
Battery Disconnect Switch off, and you must have the
ignition key in YOUR possession, then check around
Feedwheel Yoke to determine what might be
restricting it.
