PowerWind ran before, but now won’t run
1. Battery fully charged?
2. Battery cap installed properly?
3. Battery installed into
PowerWind properly?
4. Is the battery cap damaged?
5. Battery contacts rusted?
6. Circuit breaker activating?
7. Are the switches damaged?
8. Foot pedal switch seated
properly?
1. Charge the battery. The light on the charger is
green when the battery is fully charged. The
charger must be plugged into the wall to get an
accurate reading on the light.
2. Remove and reinstall the battery cap. Make sure
the terminals on the battery go inside the
terminals on the battery cap.
3. The battery must fall behind the two tabs in the
battery housing. The battery should be pushed in
and down at the same time to make it seat
properly.
4. Look inside of the battery housing to see if there
is excessive rust on the terminals. If there is a lot
of rust, remove the terminals from the back using
a flat blade screwdriver. Use steel wool or fine
sandpaper to remove the rust. Reinstall the
terminals.
5. Are there signs of melted plastic around the
contacts on the battery cap? If so, this indicates
the battery was not installed properly at some
point in time. The battery cap needs to be
replaced, and the battery needs to be installed
properly.
6. Will the unit run again after waiting a minute? If
so, the circuit breaker is cutting out. Reduce the
load on the unit by doubling the hose back on
itself. Rubber hose is very heavy, and can cause
the breaker to trip as well. Vinyl hose should be
used.
7. Open the belt cover and remove the switch. Open
the switch and examine the contacts for burn
marks. If there are signs of burning or corrosion,
replace the switch. Repeat this for the lid switch.
8. Open the belt cover and reposition the switch on
the posts. Carefully reinstall the belt cover and
try again.
