Darryl&Rita Posted November 15, 2019 Report Share Posted November 15, 2019 Sounds like it's binding, somewhere. Fix the stick, it should cure the breaker issues.

Your circuit breaker may be worn out or undersized....replace it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk W Posted November 16, 2019 Report Share Posted November 16, 2019 (edited) Welcome to the Escapee forums. If the auto-reset breaker is tripping when it didn't before that would indicate that the motor is drawing excessi.ve current which usually means some type of mechanical problem. I would check the drive system for problems. If you replace it with one that has a higher current rating you could well be courting disaster. If you don't mind, I happen to know someone with that SKP# so are you by chance Jeanette? Edited November 16, 2019 by Kirk W Quote Good travelin !...............KirkFull-time 11+ years......

lenp Posted November 16, 2019 Report Share Posted November 16, 2019 I second the replace the breaker suggestion. Continued tripping weakens them. Are your batteries fully charged? Low voltage will cause higher current.

Bob1999 Posted November 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2019 Thank you for the information. I replaced the breaker with a 25 amp and it still did it so I put the 20 amp back in. The batteries are fully charged. To Kirk, no I am Bob. My SKP has 6 numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesertMiner Posted November 16, 2019 Report Share Posted November 16, 2019 It only has a 20 amp breaker? Is it electric or hydraulic? Can you put an “amp meter“ on the wire coming from the breaker and get an amp reading while operating the slide? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, like this one: https://www.sears.com/klein-tools-cl700-600-amp-true-rms-ac/p-A058028491?plpSellerId=Savings Kingdom&prdNo=1&blockNo=1&blockType=G1 The HWH hydraulic system is also 12VDC powered, so works for both systems.

You talk about fuse I the OP but then talk about replacing the breaker.
