Troubleshooting Note! To eliminate the risk of damage to the motor, the SB-4 is fitted with thermal motor protection that automatically switches off the machine if the temperature of the motor should become too high. The thermal motor protection has automatic reset, which means that the machine can be started again when the motor has cooled down, which usually takes between 10 and 30 minutes.
