timberwolf tw150 service & blade change

[D.G.F.S.]

As far as I can remember the only thing that will stop both forward and reverse is the emergency stop button. I had the stop bar micro switch freeze closed the other day, took me ages to figure out what was going on and I’m sure reverse still worked then...

Had an emergency stop button fail a couple of weeks back. Mechanic assumed it was functional as ‘they never fail’ and spent ages looking elsewhere.

Might be the sensor on the fly wheel? Or hydraulic pump?

From memory isn't there 2 wires in the black box in engine bay you can twist together to bypass sensor. Maybe someone else can back me up on this.

Yep, should be two bullet connectors, put them together and it bypasses the anti stress unit. Not sure whether it’s only relevant on later models though

Worth checking the alternator is charging, no hydraulics initiated on some models until the revs are up and charge is sensed.
