circuit please ensure that cross contamination does not occur.
Warning: If any of these tests do not function as described and the problem
can not be rectified by reference to the trouble shooting chapter on
page 89, then the unit should not be used until it has been repaired. Please
contact an SLE approved engineer, or SLE.
