safety circuit.
!
WARNING
• TO REDUCE THE POSSIBILITY OF STRUCTURAL DAMAGE, NEVER OPERATE THE MACHINE IN
THE SAME DIRECTION OF TRAVEL AS THE MACHINE WAS OPERATING WHEN THE SHUT DOWN
OCCURRED. AFTER MACHINE IS REPAIRED, ALWAYS OPERATE IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION
OF TRAVEL AS THE MACHINE WAS OPERATING BEFORE THE SHUT DOWN. WHEN THE MACHINE
COMES BACK INTO ALIGNMENT THE DIRECTION CAN BE CHANGED.
Tower behind shut downs typically occur because of a failure in one or more of the following areas; tower box,
drive train or machine alignment. Use the flow chart below to determine if the cause of shut down is mechanical.
Refer to the operation pages of this section or the control panel Owners Manual for other TROUBLESHOOT-
