Electrical Compartment Access Door (16). Circuit breakers protect electrical circuits and motors from
damage due to overload or short circuit conditions. If a circuit breaker trips check for anything that may be
binding the affected motor. If source of the trouble is not apparent contact Nilfisk Service Center.
