Unbelievably Blessed!
I know this has been discussed in a Razor forum recently, but I thought I would go ahead and place this here.
When hitching up to move last Thursday, my front leveling jacks blew the fuse - again. After blowing 2 fuses before getting raised enough to hitch up, I got my meter to see how many amps the motor was pulling. The 30 amp fuse was being slammed with 42-45 amps! No wonder the poor thing was blowing! I ended up running it only for 2-3 seconds at a time and managed to get it raised without the hand-crank. Once hitched, I ran the legs up and down and it only pulled 4-5 amps.
I barely have anything in the Cyclone, so far - and the fact that the first time it happened was when I was empty - so I'm thinking the motor is bad while under a load. Won't be an easy replacement, for sure. Tight fit above the gen-set. Moving again today, so I'll see how it goes this time. Definitely need the AUTO resetting breaker Loco mentioned installing on his.
