Inspecting the Generator
If the Force EZ-C Series Electrosurgical Generator malfunctions, check for
obvious conditions that may have caused the problem:
•
Check the generator for visible signs of physical damage.
•
Verify that all accessory cords are properly connected.
•
Check the power cord. Replace the power cord if you find exposed wires,
cracks, frayed insulation, or a damaged connector.
•
Open the fuse drawer and inspect the fuse housing and fuses for damage and
corrosion. Verify that the fuses are firmly seated.
An internal component malfunction in the generator can damage the fuses. You
may need to replace the fuses if the generator fails the self-test or stops
functioning. Refer to Section 8,
