Troubleshooting the Inoperative Lap Bar on Takeuchi TL140: Wiring Diagram Needed and Cab Tilting Process

Question:

I recently purchased a TL 140 with serial number 21402011 and have encountered a few issues. One concern is that the lap/safety bar is not functioning correctly, as the controls in the cab remain active regardless of the position of the bar. I have already inspected the switch on the right side, but unplugging it has not made a difference. The enclosed switch seems to be constantly closed, making it difficult to diagnose the problem. I believe the issue may lie elsewhere in the wiring. I urgently need a wiring diagram to help me troubleshoot. Additionally, I am curious about the process of tilting the a/c cab backwards after removing the front bolts. Can this be done manually or will assistance be required?

If you're experiencing issues with your amusement park ride, it may not be the lap bar causing the problem, but the safety relay instead. A helpful thread can be found online detailing how to solder the relay for a quick fix. In the meantime, try lightly tapping on the panel in front of your feet where the relays are located. This may temporarily resolve the issue. Feel free to provide me with your email address so I can send you the manual for further assistance.

Learn how to properly solder the relay on page 5 of this guide for resolving Takeuchi TL130 problems related to movement issues.

Gas shocks assist in raising the cab, allowing for easy tilting with just one person if the shocks are in good condition. It is important to securely pin the cab at the rear once lifted. One user in the mentioned discussion demonstrates the pilot lockout solenoid, which may have been improperly wired to 12v, bypassing the relays that are prone to solder failure.

Thank you for your excellent service, I was able to troubleshoot and resolve the issue. Upon lowering my lap bar with the ignition switch on, I heard a click from the relay located by the footrest. I then examined the bypass wire near the battery and discovered it was plugged in. After unplugging it, the lap bar is now functioning properly. Appreciate the assistance!

Apologies for my oversight. Upon closer review of your initial post, I see that the issue was with the machine not moving. I'm glad to hear that you were able to resolve the issue.
