Lockup
Recovery
and
Operator
Hints
In
any
operation
a
body
of information accumulates
which
can
aid
the
operator
in
achieving excellence
with
the
equipment.
This section contains
such
information.
When
a
machine
is
not
functioning
correctly, the
problem
should be
identified,
corrected, or
explained
to
someone
who
can
correct
it.
In every case described
in this
section,
the
first
approach
is
for the
operator to
identify
and
correct
the
problem
without
assistance.
If
a
problem
occurs
continually, ask
your
supervisor for
assistance.
