Testing for motor power shut off when simulating position sensor activation.

10.

Perform the following tests with power on to both the Monitor and Valve Control

Modules and with the Volt Meter attached to motor power leads as described in step
2.

 If you have a Joystick squeeze and hold trigger or place the water valve switch to

the ON position. If you have a switch box control place the water valve switch in the
ON position. Within the 12 second window place a jumper between the terminals in
connector position C (Yellow wire) pin and position D (Black wire), (-) negative
motor power should cease when the jumper is connected.

 If you have a Joystick release the trigger or place the water valve switch in the

JOYSTICK position. If you have a switch box control place the water valve switch in
the OFF position. Within the 12 second window place a jumper between the contact
in connector position B (Orange) pin and position D (Black) pin on the 4-way
connector, (+) positive motor power should cease when the jumper is connected.

Note: If test is not completed within the twelve second window, cycle trigger or water
valve switch and repeat test. Be sure motor power is stopped due to the use of a
jumper and not because the 12 second time limit has expired.

Passed; If the tests are successful move on to step 11.

Failed; If the tests are unsuccessful replace the valve control module. See Item 8

on the system layout drawing that matches your system voltage. Choose the p/n
for the Valve Control Module you need. Then reconnect all harnesses, and start
over on step 1.

Testing for motor power shut off by position sensor activation.

11.

Remove the gear case cover with the position sensor harness or sensor board

attached, remove the stainless steel thrust washer, and inspect the sensor
components for damage. Look for damage on the harness, sensors, or a damaged
magnet. Replace any damaged parts. Remove the gear segment with the magnet
attached. Reconnect the sensor harness to the harness from the Valve Module via 4-
way connectors P13 and J13 and move on to step 12.
