Potain 27148 Encoder and fan on top of drive

Swing drive was getting encoder and fan error.  I tried to turn the encoder off but it didn’t work.  You are supposed to be able to just turn it off.  I then replaced encoder and cleared errors.

Potain 27148 Trolley losing 3rd speed

Went to jobsite to check out trolley.  They would lose 3rd speed every now and then and a lot of clicking noise in the panel.

Went to the erection aid it was changing between =0 and >30.  Sensor at cats head was not communicating properly.

Went to electrical and found that both B910n and B912n need to be on.  Put jumper from 44 to 40 and from 44 to 48. This made it equal zero in erection aid.

Will need to remove jumpers and fix before dismantle
