Swift-E / Swift-E+ Load Bank Manual
VIII. TROUBLESHOOTING
VIII-A. General Maintenance
All electrical connections should be tightened every 3 months. Cooling fan motors are
permanently lubricated and do not require maintenance.
Although Swift-E load banks are designed with trouble-free operation in mind, some problems
can arise. Please consult the following table for solutions to the most common issues before
contacting a Simplex service representative.
