OPERATION

CIRCUIT BREAKERS

The machine is equipped with (4) circuit breakers to
protect motors from damage. If circuit breakers trip,
they cannot be reset immediately. Determine reason
why breaker tripped, allow motor to cool and then
reset. Brush motor circuit breakers will trip due to
excessive overload on pad. Clean or change pad if
breaker should trip. Circuit breaker buttons are
located at rear of machine as shown (Figure 19).
