maybe a programming problem with your remote,  do you know how to reprogram it?

Had the same problem with a 36 putz once. Remote and receiver had to go to Putzmeister for repair. You may be hardwired for awhile

mine was doing the same thing when I went left it would go up and left when I went right it went down and right only in rabbit mode.  I snail mode it would not go left or right.  I sent it to putz they changed the proportioning card.  Talk to mark at putz's radio repair.  If you have 2 units the same you could try changing the card yourself.

no i don't have the problem on hard wire

i think you are right tha its in the reciever, putz rep told me this evening that i would have to send in the remote and reciever to get it fixed. the only thing is it does'nt do it all the time and if it won't act up when they get it will they be able to fix it.

Save some money and just send it to HBC directly.  And yes, I've sent in a ton of remotes with intermittent problems and they always figure it out if you give them a description of the problem.

Before you spend money on sending it away open the remote and check for moisture.  We tape silica bags inside to absorb moisture.  Those H.B.C. remotes can do some really interesting tricks with the tiniest amount of moisture.

Yep, there are alot of tiny microfuses on one of the lower PCBs that don't like moist. I used to keep mine in the cab and take it inside during weekends.
