OVERLOADED
Check that breaker is not overloaded and has not tripped. If tripped, switch plug to a differ-
ent circuit.
EXTENSION CORD
IS FAULTY
Check that extension cord, if used, is rated appropriately for the distance and current. Do
NOT use a longer cord unless the wire size is larger. Undersized extension cords may cause
an undervoltage, over-current condition which could damage or destroy the drive motor and
void the motor warranty.
OVERCURRENT
CIRCUIT HAS BEEN
EXCEEDED
Determine the cause of the excessive circuit resistance which may include: overloaded
outlet, faulty extension cord, bad outlet, underrated generator, excessively dirty machine,
incorrectly tensioned shear band or an obstruction between the drum or reel and another
part of the machine.
Once the source of the resistance has been identified and resolved, reset the circuit by
pressing the small button on the control panel for 3 seconds then operate the machine
normally.
