5.1. Introduction
Use the following tables to perform fault finding and resolve the most common faults. Start by investigating the most simple causes,
such as complete discharge of the engine starter battery, loose electrical connections or an open circuit breaker. The various tables
provide a list of common faults, indicate the possible causes and detail the recommended corrective measures.
If this manual does not include a procedure explaining how to correct a fault, contact an approved agent. Ensure the log of repairs
and adjustments made to the equipment is kept up to date. This log should be used to describe the fault and to record repair and
adjustment operations carried out on the equipment.
