I have a 2012 8230. Last night I plugged the rotor so went to the deslug mode & had rockered it several times when I heard a sound like a shear bolt popping. Now nothing happens when I try to rocker the rotor. Service tech last night told me it is likely a bolt broke in the gear box & that the gear box will need to be removed to be fixed. Anyone else had this problem?

Check the eltromagnet that activates the deslug, it's on the left side of motor just above chopper... They have a nut that goes off the back of the magnet and mine viberates off one night and did the same, just put back on and keep it secured with twist tie and all good... Had this happen now twice over two machines...

That's quality control!
If there's anything to be said for consistency.
