TROUBLESHOOTING AND REPAIR

19

Before troubleshooting the system, the following inspection should be performed.

1.

Inspection of Power Source Voltage

Check the voltage of the power source.
Single phase 115 volts (60Hz)
Check the operation and condition of the fuse or circuit breaker in the power source.

2.

Inspection of Air Filters

Remove the air filters and check the element.  If the element is dirty, wash it as described in the OPERA-
TION MANUAL supplied with the unit.

3.

Inspection of Drain Tank

Be sure tank is fully drained.
The following chart is provided as a guide for categorized problem remedies.  Detailed information is
contained in the OPERATION MANUAL supplied with the unit.
