WARNING!
Disconnect and lockout power before performing any ser-
vice to the electrical system. For battery-powered equipment, discon-
nect the negative battery terminal cable. For AC-powered equipment,
follow the lockout procedure provided in the safety section (
). Failure to do so may result in injury and/or electrical system
damage.

Before performing service near moving parts such as
blades, pulleys, motors, belts and chains, first turn the key switch to
the OFF (#0) position and remove the key. If the key is turned on and
moving parts activated, serious injury may result.

Hydraulic Handle, But Get
No Response From The
Pump.
Carriage not positioned
properly to provide power
to the pump
Make sure carriage contact bracket is
adjusted far enough forward for battery pos-
itive contact to touch 6ft. strip on main tube.
Check contact and strip for tarnish or loose

tive contact and lower rail. Check contact
and rail for tarnish or loose wires. Clean as
neccesary
Blown fuse
Replace
Low or dead battery
Test battery amperage capability (such as
low battery charge, low alternator ouput,
defective voltage regulator, bad battery cell,
battery age deterioration, etc.). Replace or
recharge as necessary
Poor cable connection
Check cable connection and make sure that
battery terminals are in good condition (not
corroded)
Defective solenoid (may
be indicated by solenoid
clicking) See Monarch

ing solenoid
After checking all other possibilities for low
