(ET) E15 Alltrax died



To all you guys running with the Alltrax controller.  The first time I went to blow snow with my new (to me) rebuilt snow thrower my Alltrax died.  After two years of mowing an acre a week it seems odd that it happens the first time I ran the blower.  Everything still functions on the tractor but there is no life on the Alltrax LED and no signal to close the main contactor.  I swapped the Alltrax and everything is wonderful, but I do not want to smoke another. 

 

Question is, does the snow thrower generate a voltage spike when shutdown?

The power cord only has 2 wires hooked up to the drive, should the third be used ala the mower drive?

Should there be a clamping diode in use?

 

Thanks to whoever knows.
