Any electromechanical device occasionally requires some troubleshooting. However, most of the problems that may arise can usually be solved with a bit of thought and common sense. Many of these problems occur because the batteries are not fully charged or because the batteries are worn down and can no longer hold a charge.

DIAGNOSTIC FLASH CODES

The diagnostic flash codes for your PMV are designed to help you perform basic troubleshooting quickly and easily. A diagnostic flash code will flash from the status LED in the event one of the conditions listed below develops.

NOTE: Your PMV will not run unless the flash code condition is resolved and the PMV has been turned off, then turned back on.

What if all the systems on my PMV seem to be “dead”? Make certain that the key is in the “on” position. Check that the batteries are fully charged.

Push in the main circuit breaker reset button. See III. “Your PMV.”

Make certain that both T-handle battery harnesses are firmly connected to the rear section and to the battery terminals. See VII. “Disassembly and Assembly.”

Make sure that the front-to-rear harness is firmly connected to the rear section. See VII. “Disassembly and Assembly.”

Be sure the power down timer feature has not been activated. See V. “Operation.”

Check the 3-amp fuse located on the lower portion of the tiller console. See IX. “Care and Mainte- nance” for fuse replacement.
