Re: (ET) Circuit breaker in lift motor?



                If you should keep the lift stalled for five or ten seconds, that fuse replacing circuit breaker will open. So far,none of that miraculous Joseph Lucas smoke has been allowed to escape. :)

Hey, thanks, guys.  I'll pull it apart this evening.  It makes no
sense to me to have a CB in there, I'd rather use a properly sized
dash fuse or breaker instead.

RJ, has that 25 amp fuse ever blown?

Chris, if I put the motor at 36 volts, won't that make it run faster?
I want the bloody thing to run SLOWER, not faster, since it has no
limit switches for some reason.

I suppose I should try to figure out how to put a limit switch on it,
so it'll stop when the mowing deck is all the way up.

   I decided to fix the dead front lift on my I5 last Sunday and spent
a few hours with the schematic and a voltmeter.  It turns out that the
switches, wires and fuse are all good, but the motor (which has
nothing visibly wrong with it) doesn't spin at all, in either
direction.

It's also possible one of your brushes in the motor is gone. They can be
replaced, but are a bit more of a pain.
