help - hyraulic oil problem on entec timberwolf

[daveindales]

I have a entec ch25ph, the one with the 25hp Kohler engine. Have had it 5 years with no real problems. Just recently, when you turn on the chipper, the rollers will not go round. Nither forward or reverse. This has happened about 5 times over the last month, and has never happened first thing in the morning. Always part way through the day.

 

You have to turn off the chipper and try again. Eventually, after a few attempts the thing will work ok. Once they start going round there is no further problems, until chipper is turned off again.

 

Nothing to do with filter, oil level, reset button, or engine revs being too low. Think it may be electrical. Does anyone have any idea as to what the problem may be

If you are looking st the key and throttle side of the engine (call it the front) then on the left hand side near the bottom there should be a little heatsink looking type of electrical thing(technical I know:001_tongue:) that has 3 wires in a block connected to it. This is the feed from the stator plate that usually also powers the autofeed system ie it tells the autofeed what rpm the engine is at.

 

Try cleaning the terminals and checking the wiring.

 

Your autofeed system might be different though but worth a shot since if its intermittent it is probably an electrical fault.

Since i wrote post, have cleaned all terminals with wd40. I also cleaned the "thing" you mentioned. Will see how it goes next week
