Button issue with TW150

[Matthew Arnold]

We have an intermittent issue with the green button on our TW150. Occasionally when the stress feed kicks in the rollers stop so we put the rollers into reverse and push the green button but nothing happens. After a few attempts of pushing the blue and green button the rollers start up again and carry on as per normal. We have checked the connectors underneath and sprayed them with WD40 to iradicate any moisture that may be in there. It is stored outside in all weathers and has done just over 900 hours.

Hello

 

The issue you describe indicates a loss of electrical continuity on the forward latching circuit. If you have a multi meter try checking the circuits against your wiring diagram in the machine manual, also switches and relay/s.

Failing this its a job for a Timberwolf dealer or good auto electrician.

 

Hope this help

We swapped the switches round this morning and found a loose/worn wire inside one of the switches. We stripped it back to fresh wire and reconnected it all and it worked fine. The wires which went to the green switch had a bit of corrosion and had a few stray bits of copper wire which looked to have touched the bolts which held the switches in place. Its all running now as it should.

The problem appeared again but all the cables were still secure. We dropped the chipper into Landpower Machinery who found the problem to be a corroded C-Top valve.
