PROBLEM SOLVING

The troubleshooting chart helps to solve mechanical problems.
It is assumed that the engine is in good condition and that there is
adequate fuel flow to the filters and injection equipment.
If the engine has stopped through a shutdown switch, only one
restarting attempt is permitted while tracing the fault.
Always check the alarm lamps during starting, as the lamps indicate
which switch has tripped, thus assisting in tracing the trouble. Any
bulb can be replaced.
An electrical fault must be traced by an electrician. Make sure that
the wires are not chafed, damaged or broken and that they are
clamped tight to their terminals.
Never carry out measurements on the instrument panel.
!
Measurements on the wiring of the instrument panel may
only be carried out after disconnecting the wiring from
the instrument panel.
