TROUBLESHOOTING
Always check out simplest possible cause of malfunction first. For example,
switch turned off or power cord not connected. Then proceed logically,
eliminating each possible cause until the defective circuit or part is located.
Where possible, substitute known good parts for suspected bad parts. Use
TROUBLESHOOTING chart as an aid in locating and correcting malfunction.
