Light is on when switched on but no response at all using foot pedal?
Any advice appreciated.Just finished remodeling the 100 year old barn
and moved the Max wheel in and no go.Also have a Creative Industry
wheel but had it reversed for a helper but when he never put it to use
I was left with a wheel I cannot rember how to switch the electrics???
Man, I feel stupid and wonder if turning 66 tjis month is part of
it,lol.

Hi Margaret,
Nearly as I can tell, Max went out of business several years ago. The =3D
last contact info I had for them was:
Max Concepts, Inc.
157 Talamine Court
Colorado Springs, CO 80907
(719) 636-1544
maxcon@us.net
You may need a new controller printed circuit board which probably is no =
=3D
longer available, but first I would open up the pedal and see if =3D
anything has obviously become loose or disconnected. Unplug first of =3D
course.
Regards,
John

Assuming it's one of the "Boss" wheels, there should be a plug in the middl=
e of the cable going from the controller box to the motor... unplug it, fli=
p one end over, and plug it back together. The reversing plug is a standar=
d feature on the Boss wheels of at least the last six years.
