Chapter 6:  Troubleshooting 
6-1 Introduction 
The utmost in safety precautions should be observed at all times when working on or around 
the machine and the electrical components. All normal troubleshooting must be accomplished 
with the power off, line fuses removed, and with the machine tagged as out of service.  
The use of good quality test equipment cannot be over-emphasized when troubleshooting is 
indicated. Use a good ammeter that can measure at least twice the AC and DC current that 
can be encountered for the machine. Be sure that the voltmeter has at least minimum 
impedance of 5,000 OHMS-per-volt on AC and 20,000 OHMS-per-volt on DC scales. 
Popular combination meters, VOM and VTVM can be selected to provide the necessary 
functions. 
Before making haphazard substitutions and repairs when defective electrical components are 
malfunctioning, we recommend that you check the associated circuitry and assemblies for 
other defective devices. It is common to replace the obviously damaged component without 
actually locating the real cause of the trouble. Such hasty substitutions will only destroy the 
new component. Refer to wiring diagrams and schematics. 
Locating mechanical problems, should they occur, is relatively straightforward. When 
necessary, refer to the parts catalog section.
