Troubleshooting - Hardi MUSTANG 3500 Operator's Manual

8.0 TROUBLESHOOTING

All HARDI ® MUSTANG 3500 consoles and Sprayer Control modules are
tested prior to packaging. Unless there has been damage in shipment, you
can be confident that everything will be operational when you receive it.
However, if you do encounter a problem that appears to be related to
equipment failure, PLEASE DO NOT OPEN THE CONSOLE OR
SPRAYER CONTROL MODULE. Your system is protected by a warranty,
and HARDI ® will gladly correct any defect.
Many problems are the result of mistakes in installation or operation.
Before returning any parts for service, carefully check your installation and
review the operating instructions. For easy-to-follow guidelines, refer to the
troubleshooting section which follows.
Console Appears Dead
Using your test light, check for 12 volts at the power source. Also check for
damaged power cable or reversed terminals. (Console requires 12 volts for
proper operation.)
Speed is Always Zero or Erratic
Check for properly calibrated wheel circumference.
Review speed sensor installation. Check for proper mounting, alignment
and spacing of speed sensor in relationship to magnet assembly. Distance
between sensor and magnet must not exceed 1/4". Make sure magnet
polarities are all south pole. Also check cable for breaks or incomplete
connection.
For more suggestions/solutions to speed problems, see page 37.
Area Count is Inaccurate
Implement width or wheel circumference was measured incorrectly or
programmed incorrectly. Go back through the original procedures, make
changes, and test for acre (hectare) count again. Verify accuracy with this
formula:
Acres = Distance x Width in feet/43560
Distance Count is Inaccurate
