Traction Encoder Check

The Traction Encoder is responsible for tracking the movement (distance) traveled by the
scrubber. As the traction wheel spins, the encoder counts ticks and relays that information to
the BCM, thereby quantifying and monitoring how much distance the scrubber has moved. The
purpose of this check is to ensure the traction encoder is not damaged.
1. Ensure that the hex screw (indicated with the red arrow in the Figure below) is tight. It
should enable the encoder to be clamped to the axel. As the unit is driven, the axel
(indicated with the yellow arrow in the Figure below) should spin.
