Circuit Protection 

The power switch on the back panel also acts as a circuit breaker to help protect 
the control unit circuitry.  If the circuit breaker trips, then it can be reset by turning 

the power switch to the full “off” position and then turning the switch back “on” 

again.  

A secondary circuit breaker on the front panel protects the windings in the motor.  
If this circuit breaker trips, then the circuit breaker can be reset by pressing the 

“

RESET

” button on the front panel.
