Poor connections equal high resistance.High resistance equals voltage drop. Compound that with flattening voltage from the batteries with use, and you get a PTO contactor that won't pick up. Check all the connections from the PTO switch to the contactor,[This includes the RTN relay(s).] Since you don't mention the flavor of your E-15, if it is an AA to GA Model, you'll also get to check the connections on the control card, AND the components pertaining to PTO control. And the flattening pack voltage? That just comes with the territory. :) RJ john rieffel wrote: Hy Trakkers, At around 30 minutes of mowing, my E15 starts behaving a bit odd: after getting to the end of a row, I usually turn the PTO off while I make the turn, and then flip it on again to start the next row. After awhile however, the PTO doesn't turn on until I've lowered the throttle into a lower gear or stopped all together. Once the deck starts up again, I can throttle back up into high gear with impunity. Today, at the end of my mowing, I couldn't even get the PTO to turn on at all, after a few minutes of waiting. I'm assuming (and hoping) that if I charge overnight it'll return to "normal" by the morning, as it has in the past. There's a reference to a "thermal fuse" in the tips and tricks web page, but I couldn't find mention of it in my homeowner's service manual. Any advice? regards, jr _______________________________________________ Elec-trak mailing list Elec-trak cosmos phy tufts edu https://cosmos.phy.tufts.edu/mailman/listinfo/elec-trak |
