Unit does not function

If the Propeller does not start when the trigger(s) is/are pressed, make sure:

Blocked Propeller

If the Propeller becomes blocked, it will be necessary to open the Protective Grilles to remove the obstacle.
UNDER NORMAL USE the grilles must not be opened.
NEVER turn the propeller ON when it is blocked; it would cause serious damage to the gear box.
