   - The lid of the box is mounted with 4 screws, one screw is a bit tricky to remove but can be removed with a small flat chisel. Remove the grey plastic side of the robot to make more space while you work. \\ <font inherit/inherit;;#ffffff;;inherit>.</font>   - The lid of the box is mounted with 4 screws, one screw is a bit tricky to remove but can be removed with a small flat chisel.

   - Due to vibrations in the robot, the connectors may jump of its place. To fix this we put a small amount of MS Polymer on the connector to hold it in place. \\ <font inherit/inherit;;#ffffff;;inherit>.</font>   - Due to vibrations in the robot, the connectors may jump of its place.

-  - Check the connector if you have power from the circuit board. Check with a voltmeter between pin 1 and pin 2, it should be 24 V when the spreader motor is running. When the motor is going the opposite direction, it will have 24V between pin 1 and pin 3 too. Measure the cables for the small electric motor as well, to check if the circuit board is broken. \\ <font inherit/inherit;;#ffffff;;inherit>.</font>+  - Check the connector if you have power from the circuit board. Check with a voltmeter, it is 24V between pin 1 and pin 2 when the wheels are rotating and the hose spreader motor is running in a given directionIf you change direction on the wheels (on the manual screen) or the spreader switch direction at the turning point the hose spreader motor will go the other direction, then it is 24V between pin 1 and pin 3 instead.

   - Once you have measured and checked if the hose spreader motor have power, you must check if moisture/water has entered the box. It may happen that water enters through the plug, cable entry or entrance to the hose spreader rod. Here you can see how water has flowed in from different entrances. \\ <font inherit/inherit;;#ffffff;;inherit>.</font>   - Once you have measured and checked if the hose spreader motor have power, you must check if moisture/water has entered the box.
