Re: (ET) Yeow

It’s alive!

Replaced all the terminals on the battery wires. Replaced the power switch   which was the problem, with a Salvo Auto Parts battery disconnect switch(500 amps). Cleaned corrosion off the Battery case & the side of the batteries which was creating a path to the case. I read .4 volts between the batteries & ground. IT WAS NOT FIRE BUT AN ARC FROM B3+ TO THE SIDE OF THE REAR BATTERY CASE.

We’re up and running.

Hi guys.

My e15 with Alltrax controller took a dive. The pto relay was pitted & was arcing so I pulled it out & filed the contracts. After I reinstalled it I flipped the pto switch and the mower motors ran fine. Stitch off. Then I backed

out of the garage went 10 feet towards the lawn flipped the pto switch on mowers started to spin & everything quit. Pushed it back to the garage pushed in the power disconnect switch & fire came from b3.    HELP!
