SYMPTOMS AND PROBLEMS Finding the Problem – Before Getting Inside Please note that the majority of technical problems that can occur with the P-600 occur with external system components. The following are the key components to check before removing any lift cover: •...
• Air tubes are fragile. In detaching and re-attaching air tubes, do not press on the air tubes with fingernails and be careful not to pierce the tubes with the connector pins. If NO air leak is found then proceed to check the electrical system. P-600 Technical Manual REV: 101316 Page 4...
Secondly, it is important to check all wire harnesses for cuts and/or exposed wires. If this is found, the wire harness must be replaced. The P-600 main board The white power plug, second from left, connects the batteries to the circuit board. The circuit board is connected to the main motor via the white plug on the right most side of the board.
