Machine is a Terex TB44 man lift. The problem I am having with this machine is that the controls in the basket will intermittently stop responding/not work at all. When the controls do fail, the functions on the ground control panel all work fine.
When the controls are dead in the control panel, everything is dead. The red emergency shut off switch will not shut the machine down, none of the joystick controls or toggle switches do anything.... etc. Sometimes simply pushing down on the foot pedal will make the engine stall.
The master on/off/crank switch on the basket control panel does seem to have a hard spot in it, and I am wondering if the master switch has some internal problem causing it to stop providing power to the controls....
When the machine is operating correctly, everything thing works well, very smooth, crisp...etc but when it starts acting up it seems that no amount of fiddling with it helps.
I may replace this just to rule out a potential problem.
Does anyone have any thoughts or ideas?
