VII. TROUBLESHOOTING

Potential problems and causes listed below are in no order of importance or priority. The causes are only a list
of the most common items to check to correct a problem. If you find the cause of a problem, 

DO NOT

assume it is

the 

ONLY

cause of that problem. Different problems can have the same causes. 

Troubleshooting should only be performed by trained personnel. Any potential electrical problems should only
be checked by a licensed electrician. All safety rules, regulations and procedures MUST be followed. Failure to

follow proper procedures can cause property damage, severe bodily injury and death.
