entec 1999 two speed switch?

[treequip]

.

is it a solenoid or something I need to replace? A relay? And if so, which one?

.

 

It's unusual for sure.

 

The most common speed control is done with manual control over a flow divider.

 

In order to fix it you will need to sort out whats supposed to be happening.

 

Follow the switch wire to whatever its controlling. Chances are its a solenoid opperated valve. (It kind of has to be).

 

Check the valve has a (hopefully switched) live and a decent earth. Once you have the live check the solenoid coil. It should make a soft click when you opperate the switch or you can use a test lamp/meter. Check the wiring for bad connections and breaks.

 

Chances are that will sort the job but it could be an arter market mod, in which case, all bets are off:laugh1:

It's not aftermarket, my 1999 entec has one. My memory might be quite wrong but I think I spoke to a timberwolf guy once who told me that the two speed unit was replaced with what is now standard whenever a machine came in to have the stop bar upgraded to comply with new regulations. Something like that anyway...

 

I think it's a great asset; switch to slow for anything dead and hard or particularly big to keep the vibrations down. That's how it works in my head anyway

I spoke to the guy I brought it form, he seems to think the two speed was instead of no stress, as soon as no stress was added, the two speed was redundant. Will check to see whats wired up though

Mine has stress control and is a 98 model .

I think they all have stress control, but some were done as an aftermarket thing by entec back at the factory. In those days, you brought direct from them, not dealers, so any servicing etcnwas done by them. (so I am told!)

My rollers stopped working all together today, sometimes they'll come on but not today, bypassed the anti stress and they work fine? Any ideas?

New anti stress box by the sounds of it.

Bad connection, broken wire, faulty or out of adjustment sensor. Don't be hasty about getting a new box.
