    Ultrex locks up

    When my Ultrex is on spot lock it will lock with the heel of the pedal all the way down and come out of spot lock. Then I can reset and which it works just fine in spot lock until the toe of the pedal goes all the way down which will knock it off spot lock. It does take some effort to move the pedal off the toe or the heel when it does this.

    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    George Clay

    If it always has done that, someone posted that same issue and found the two sensors were reversed. He switched them and that fixed it.
    If it just started doing that, probably a circuit board issue.

    Another possibility:

    I screwed my foot pedal down and used washers over the deep holes in the foot pedal so the screws were easier to get to rather than dive in that deep hole in the pedal.

    When the the pedal went full "toe down" it hit the screws and shut off just like it should.
