Default Re: Purpose of diodes in new Alltrax SR diagram?

As Sergio mentioned, without the steering diodes you'd have both coils of the reversing contactor energized and the half speed reverse activated at the same time with either F or R selected on the F/R switch.

Also looks like Alltrax needs to go back to the drawing board. They have a nonexistent switch in the main solenoid activation circuit. The "run-switch" between keyswitch and fuse does not exist if the original F/R assemble that the reversing contactor replaces was removed.

Personally, I would wire the new On-Off-On switch in after the foot switch and eliminate the need of steering diodes.
