2. Emergency Stop push-button is engaged/
faulty.
3. Plug/receptacle is at fault or wired incor
-
rectly.
4. Motor connection wired incorrectly.
5. Wall fuse/circuit breaker is blown/tripped.
6. Thermal overload relay has tripped.
7. Contactor not getting energized/has burnt
contacts.
8. Power supply switched OFF or is at fault.
9. Wiring is open/has high resistance.
10. Motor Start button or Main Power switch is
at fault.
11. Motor is at fault.
1. Rotate Main Power switch to
ON or 1.
2. Rotate clockwise slightly until it pops out/replace it.
3. Test for good contacts; correct the wiring.
4. Correct motor wiring connections (
Page 56).
5. Ensure circuit size is suitable for this machine;
replace weak breaker.
6. Turn cut-out dial to increase working amps and push
the reset pin. Replace if tripped multiple times (weak
relay).
7. Test for power on all legs and contactor operation.
Replace unit if faulty.
8. Ensure power supply is switched on; ensure power
supply has the correct voltage.
