Section 14: Troubleshooting
Of all the system components the operator itself is the least likely to malfunction and requires the
most time and effort to service. For this reason, a thorough effort should be made to pinpoint the
source of trouble before proceeding with operator service.
Completion of the operational test steps in Section 7 should confirm operation or indicate the most
likely source of a problem.
