Message: <blockquote data-quote="DonaldDuck" data-source="post: 95189" data-attributes="member: 13593"><p>I have an A300 with about 6500 hours on it. The machine works great except that once in a while I get a Right Swash Plate not in Neutral error. The engine will fire, run for 3 seconds and shut down when this happens. The first time it happened the machine was new to me. The tub drains were also blocked and the tub had water in it. I opened the tub drains, drained the water and let it dry out overnight. The next morning II wiggled some wires under the cab and it started. Not sure if that was the issue or if it was a coincidence that it started. I didn't have a service manual at the time and I was just randomly wiggling connectors. Last week we got the error again. We washed out the tub a few days prior. We pulled the right rear wheel off, pulled off the side plate, loosened the guard that sits over the swash plate sensor and then wiggled the swash plate sensor connector. It started up and ran fine. The next day we used it for about 2 hours, starting and stopping it many times with no problem. It drizzled last night. This morning it has a swash plate error again. The machine runs perfect otherwise. No creeping, it goes straight when it is supposed to, great hydraulic power, etc. What controls the position of the swash plate ? An electric servo or a hydraulic circuit ? How does one tell if it is the wiring, the sensor or if something is wrong in the pump to cause the swash plate not to return to neutral ? Is there a special way to shut down the machine such that the swash plate is guaranteed to be in neutral ? Is there a way to move the swash plate manually or adjust its neutral position ? Anything else I should know about this problem ? Thanks</p></blockquote><p></p>
