Hi All

Question for the above owners.
Not been used since last october and put away until this weekend.
Battery fully charged and all good except
Barrow will not move forward, powers in reverse ok but not forward.
Disconnected all connections and redone them, another member has identical barrow so swapped
Handle/ controller over and still only reverse. Disengaged locking collar on wheel and put it back too.
My thinking is power unit box or motor itself.
Last time out it worked fine, not been dropped damaged and sat in garage for six months.
Anyone else had a similar occurence at all??
Cheers
Rich

Sounds like the relay that changes the motor polarity is not doing its thing.

Hello,
Motor will be ok, as it works in reverse.
It sounds as though the controller has a fault.
You could swap the 2 wires round on the motor, then it will drive forward, but reverse will not work.

i had an issue on an older pp with the controller - contact prestige and speak to them is the best bet

I ended up changing mine over to the newer controller and it was fine

Right two weeks since i sent off controller and i need a new one, barrow is just short of three years old.
Korda have now bought out carp porter according to my call yesterday and i have to wait for them to set up and call them for an older style controller.
Are you sure?
