Trouble Shooting A Two Speed Boar Bot - Swine Robotics Boar Bot Owner's Manual

Trouble shooting a two speed Boar Bot

Trouble shooting an old two speed Boar Bot
1. The switching solenoids should always click by switching the Hi/Lo switch
when the Boar Bot switch is on regardless if the receiver will operate. If the switching
solenoids do not click then there is no power at the terminal block in the electrical box.
Check the circuit breakers (or fuses), the batteries or the wire /wire terminals.
The switching solenoids operate from the main (front) battery. If the main battery
is bad or has a bad connection, switching to Hi speed will cause the switching solenoids
to clatter because the floating (rear) battery is being switched between being in series
and being in parallel with the main battery. (Powering and not powering the solenoids.)
The receiver will also not work.
2. Unlike the single speed Boar Bot where a blown circuit breaker only effects
one side of the Boar Bot, a blown circuit breaker on the two speed effects the entire
Boar Bot.
A. A blown circuit breaker on the floating (rear) battery will cause the Hi
speed to stop working but the Lo speed will still work but with reduced power and less
operating time between charging the battery.
B. A blown circuit breaker on the main (front) battery will cause the
switching solenoids to clatter as discussed above.
C. Both circuit breakers blown will result in a dead Boar Bot.
3. If the two speed Boar Bot does not work in Lo or Hi speed and the receiver
LED light is off, check the following:
A. Check the two main circuit breakers.
B. Check the 3 amp fuse.
C. Check the he batteries for low voltage.
D. Check the on/off switch and associated wiring.
E. Check if there is power to the receiver. Refer to Checking the
receiver unit inside the Boar Bot (page 16). If the receiver has power, then the
receiver could be bad.
