Troubleshooting Guide
Our Advanced Troubleshooting Guide is available on our website:
http://www.shurco.com, or call our Help Line: 1-866-748-7435.
PROBLEM: TRY THIS:
SMART3™ remote is not working.
No LED lights on remote are on.
1. Close lid and open it again.
2. Make sure batteries are placed correctly.
3. Replace both AAA batteries in remote.
4. Remote may be damaged. Call Shur-Co’s Help Line.
All lights ash for three seconds,
remote turns off.
1. Batteries are too low and must be replaced.
SMART3™ remote is not working.
I can operate system with but-
tons on trailer mounted receiver
box, but not with remote. Re-
mote channel light (next to Tarp
System, for example) is blinking,
and when I press Open/On but-
ton, light blinks faster.
1. Make sure remote is set to right channel. If you cannot set remote to desired channel
(Tarp System, for example) by pressing Select button, channel must be enabled. See
Channel Enable/Disable section and enable channel.
2. Reprogram remote to receiver and try again. See Remote to Receiver Programming
section.
4. Call Shur-Co’s Help Line.
System will not operate with the
remote or with the buttons on the
trailer-mounted receiver.
When the Open or Close button is
pressed, I don’t hear a loud click
from the receiver box.
1. Make sure master disconnect switch on trailer (if equipped) is turned to On position.
2. Circuit breaker may have tripped. Wait 15 seconds and try again.
3. Check for loose or corroded connections between battery and solenoid in receiver box.
4. Check for low system voltage. Measure voltage between positive and negative posts
on solenoid in receiver box on trailer. Positive solenoid post is marked “+” and nega-
tive post is marked “-” at base of posts. With truck off, voltage should measure be-
tween 12.5 and 12.7 volts. Make sure voltage reading is not negative, which indicates
power wires are hooked up backwards.
System will not operate with re-
mote or with buttons on trailer-
mounted receiver.
When Open or Close button is
pressed, solenoid in receiver box
will click loudly (or “chatter”), but
motor does not turn.
1. Bypass circuit breaker in battery box and try again. If problem goes away, breaker was
fatigued or corroded and should be replaced.
2. Ensure battery connections are tight and free of corrosion. Inspect all wires between
batteries for corrosion. Verify battery voltage is between 12.5 and 12.7 volts with truck
off. Be sure to measure voltage on battery to which system is connected.
3. Inspect dual-pole power connection at front of trailer. Replace if corrosion is present.
Disassemble connector to inspect set screws inside and make sure they are tight, free
of corrosion,and that none of wire strands are short-circuiting. Apply dielectric grease
(not black grease) to metal contacts.
4. Inspect wiring between dual-pole connector at front of trailer and solenoid in receiver
box. Replace corroded wires. Check wire for cuts in insulation. Copper wire will cor-
rode quickly if insulation is cut.
5. Disconnect motor from back two posts (marked In and Out) on solenoid. Press and
hold Open or Close button to engage solenoid. If solenoid does not measure at least
12.5 or -12.5 volts between back two posts while engaged, solenoid is damaged. Call
Shur-Co’s Help Line.
6. If solenoid voltage measures at least 12.5 or -12.5 volts between back two posts
(marked In and Out) when motor wire is disconnected, motor may be damaged or
there may be a short circuit in motor wire between motor and solenoid. This assumes
system has been checked for corrosion and other issues listed above. Call Shur-Co’s
Help Line.

PROBLEM: TRY THIS:
System will not run in Express
Mode
1. Check all encoder wires between motor and receiver for cuts. Make sure connec-
tors are connected tightly. Make sure the black encoder wire is always connected to
another black encoder wire at connectors. On 4500 HD tarping systems, make sure
sealed weatherpack connectors are snap-locked together. There is one weatherpack
connector near the motor and one in the kingpin area.
2. Call Shur-Co’s Help Line.

NOTE: To quickly determine if problem lies with wiring between battery and solenoid, disconnect power from truck and hook
jumper cables from vehicle directly to solenoid. Hook positive battery cable to solenoid positive post (marked +). Hook negative
battery cable to solenoid negative post (marked -). If system runs normally, problem is with wiring supplying power to solenoid.
