TROUBLESHOOTING
The troubleshooting guides in this section list the common malfunctions which may be found
during the operation or maintenance of the machine. You should perform the test/inspections
and corrective actions in the sequence listed.
This manual cannot list all malfunctions that may occur, nor all tests or inspections and correc-
tive actions. If a malfunction is not listed or it is not corrected by the listed corrective actions,
notify your supervisor.
• Question the operator if possible to obtain any information that might help determine the
cause of the problem.
• Never overlook the chance that a problem could be of simple origin. The problem could be
corrected with minor adjustments.
• Use test instruments or gauges to help you determine and isolate problems.
• Always isolate the system where the malfunction accurs and then locate the defective
component.
