Timberwolf 230 Dhb. Feed rollers will only stay engaged in the infeed setting whilst holding the button down

[TreemanL]

I have a 2016 timber 230dhb. The feed rollers work fine in reverse. They will only work going forward if I hold the button down on the side, as soon as I release the button they stop. Could it be the solenoid? I have changed the stop bar button.

Don't know if this is relevant to your situation but...... I was having a similar issue with my TW150 and spoke to a really helpful chap on the TW stand at Westonbirt.  We went through a few 'could be this or could be thats' but he said one of the very first things to check is the distance of the strobe/sensor away from the flywheel.  Even a tiny bit too far and it thinks the flywheel is slowing, the machine is getting overloaded and won't reactivate the in feed rollers.  It was exactly THIS.  Tiny bit of adjustment off we went again - thank goodness.

Hope you have the same success.

Speed sensor/stress control would be a 1st guess.

 

To rule out solenoid problems, you can just swap the plugs over and see if the solenoid valve work but in reverse configuration.

 

Or use the override wires to disable the stress control, if it perks up and everything works you have identified the fault being the stress control.

 

Obviously don't use it in override for anything other than testing!.
