a. Tilt the top of the lead to the right and
disconnect the lower hose from the tilt
cylinder.
b. Cap the hose and apply pressure VERY
SLOWLY to tilt the lead to the right, by
metering the valve as slowly as possible. If
oil does not discharge from the cylinder-rod
end port, the cylinder is OK. Both hoses
must be connected to reposition the lead.
Tilt the lead to the left, reversing the
previous step, to test the cylinder in the
opposite direction. Testing the cylinder in
both directions insures that the piston-rod
nut is secure. With a loose piston-rod nut,
it is possible to seal in one direction, while
leaking in the opposite direction. Also, a
cylinder barrel can be defective at one end
of the stroke and be perfect at the other
end. Testing in this manner checks both
ends of the cylinder barrel.

ELECTRONIC STROKE CONTROL TROUBLE SHOOTING
Refer to Table 12-2
General
A correctly operating stroke-control system is evidenced by a repetitive stroke length, independent of terrain.
Having set the stroke length, there should be no further requirement to change it. The hammer should be able
to operate as long as necessary, without making further adjustments. It should be clearly understood that the
stroke-lengthadjustmentknob setsthetotalstrokelength,not theheighttowhichthe hammerrisesonthelead.
The controller references stroke length from the striking point of the tool. Obviously, if the tool is striking 3
feet below the road level, the high point on the lead will be 3 feet lower than if the tool is striking at road level.
Sensor Problems
If the hammer is operating within the stroke capability, there should be no cable "snatching". Cable
"snatching" usually indicates a problem with the proximity sensor or its associated cable. If the cable is
"snatched" infrequently, the proximity sensor is probably set too far from the sheave. Setting the sensor 1/32"
closer to the sheave will probably cure the problem. If the cable is "snatched" frequently, or if the hammer
weight has a tendency to crawl up the lead on short strokes, the sensor or its associated cable is faulty. The
system has no ground reference without a sensor, so the timer free-runs. In other words, the controller doesn't
know where the hammer weight is. The sensor and its cable can be checked most conveniently at the sensor
itself. Following are a List of Checks:
!Mark the adjustment on the threads of sensor for convenient replacement, and remove the sensor.
!Check the end of the sensor for damage. If the sheave hits or rubs the end of the sensor, it's probably ruined and must
be replaced.
!Check the sheave for excessive side play - (1/32" maximum side play.)
Replacing the Sensor
Pay attention to wire colors - the sensor won't work if the lead are reversed. Set the sensor at the proper
spacing. The end of the sensor should clear the sheave by 1/8 inch. Refer to the "Adjustments" section of this
manual.
Voltage Check
If the sensor appears to be physically sound, make the following electrical checks before replacing the sensor.
Note: Do not disconnect the sensor lead.
1. Check the blue sensor wire with respect to ground. Move the sensor to and from metal. There should be
a definite meter movement from approximately 0.8 volts when away from the metal, to less than 0.1 volts
when the sensor is very near, or touching metal.
2. If the sensor doesn't react as described above, open the blue sensor lead from the black cable lead and make
a continuity check of the black lead with respect to ground. The black lead should measure 100 ohms with
respect to ground. If it reads 0 ohms, the black lead is shorted somewhere. If it reads open, the black lead
is open somewhere in the cable. If the cable lead are ok according to the above checks, the sensor is bad.
3. Ifacableproblemisindicated,removethecowlingoverthe controls foraccesstothe terminalstrip. Locate
wire numbers 23 and 24 (refer to the Electrical Diagram, Figure 11-2). Remove the white and black cable
lead going up to the sensor. Check for a short to ground on either lead going to the sensor. Both lead
should read open with respect to ground. Check wire 23, or the terminal block. It should read 8 volts ± 0.2
volts. Check the continuity of wire 24 going back to the timer. It should read 100 ohms. An open in the
sensor cable can be checked out by connecting the white and black wires together at the sensor end and
reading continuity at the terminal strip end.

Additional notes:
1. Low pilot pressure is usually indicated by premature reversals during side shift operation. If the pilot
pressure is low, the side shift operation lowers it below critical levels, causing the hammer valve to shift
prematurely.
2. The pilot valve spool can stick, or the seals on the spool can fail. If the Electronic Control Station is
supplying the voltage to the solenoid valve (as measured across the solenoid coil), but the hammer weight
is not reversing, a bad pilot valve is indicated. If, with the engine turned "OFF" and the Electronic Control
Station cycling, a clicking sound is heard from the pilot valve, the solenoid is operating but the spool is
defective.
Courtesy of Machine.Market
Trouble Shooting - Page 12-11
5000054 7/95
Solenoid Valve
The most common failure of a pilot valve is a sticky spool, usually caused by dirt in the system. If the spool
sticks, the hammer valve receives no pilot signal. As a result, the hammer goes either to the top of the lead and
stays, or goes to the bottom of the lead and won't lift. If this condition occurs, turn on the Electronic Control
Station and allow it to free run (engine off). Observe the up/down lamps to assure the Electronic Control
Station is cycling. Audible checks should be heard each time the timer switches from up to down and visa
versa. If the checks are not heard, the valve spool is sticking and should be either repaired or replaced.
Note that in-line filters should be found with every solenoid pilot valve.
Valve Switch
On older Arrow hammers, the automatic valve has a power-shutoff switch mounted on the valve body. The
switch can get out of adjustment, causing intermittent power loss to the Electronic Control Station. The result
is an abrupt stop of the hammer weight. That action will be accompanied by blinking of the power on lamp
ontheElectronicControlStation. Theswitchcangetso faroutofadjustmentthatitcutsthepowercompletely,
in which case, the entire electronic stroke control system will be dead. Check the switch out, if it is suspect.
Adjust the switch so that it properly follows the manual control-valve handle.
Electronic Control Station
The Electronic Control Station can fail in a way that can cause all of the above malfunctions. The easiest way
to check the Electronic Control Station is to replace the suspected unit with a known good one. If the problem
is corrected, the suspected unit is bad. Return it to the factory for repair. If replacement of the Electronic
Control Station is not possible, check out the following features:
!Power lamp (red) - The red lamp should be on when the unit is turned on. If the lift lamp (yellow) is blinking
properly with the free-running timer, and the power lamp is not lit, the power lamp is probably burned out and should
be replaced.
Note that a burned out bulb does not affect the operation of the unit.
!Lift lamp (yellow) - Switching of this lamp (blinking on and off) should be accompanied by the clicking sound of
the solenoid pilot valve as it is actuated. If the lift lamp does not blink while the solenoid pilot valve is cycling, the
bulb is probably burned out.
Note that a burned out bulb does not affect the operation of the unit.
!ValveDriverTransistorSwitch - If the solenoid pilot valve doesn't click, butthe lights blinkin synch withthefree-
running timer, the valve driver transistor may be bad. Check the voltage at the solenoid pilot valve and at terminal
20 on the terminal board. The voltage should swing between 12 volts and approximately 0 volts in synch with the
lift lamp. If the voltage cycles as described, the solenoid valve coil may be burned out - check the coil for continuity.
If the voltage doesn't cycle as described, the transistor switch in the Electronic Control Station is probably bad.
Before replacing either the Electronic Control Station or the solenoid valve, visually inspected the wiring between
the solenoid valve and Electronic Control Station. Be sure that all connectors and terminals on the terminal block
are tight.
Stroke Length Control
The stroke length is adjustable by means of the control knob on the front face of the Electronic Control Station. The
stroke length should be at the maximumwhen the knob isset to the no. 8 onthe dial. The stroke shortens proportionately
asthe knobisrotated counter-clockwise. Thestrokeis adjustabletoanydesiredlengthbetweenmaximumandminimum
stroke. Minimum stroke should be approximately one foot. If stroke control can't be achieved, the Electronic Control
Station is bad and should be replaced.

If the governor speed is too far off from 2200 rpm, the stroke length will vary from the 8 ft. maximum stroke normally
expected. The Electronic Control Station times the up stroke. Therefore, if the engine runs faster than 2200 rpm -
causing more oil to be pumped - the stroke length will be increased for any given setting of the stroke-length control
knob. Conversely, the stroke length will be decreased if the engine runs slower than 2200 rpm.
