HOW TO USE THE MACHINE
5.4.12 Card protection device
The electronic circuit board has a self-resetting protector which breaks the circuit if
there is a fault in the electrical system. This causes the engine to shutdown and is indi-
cated by complete shutdown of the control panel.
The circuit automatically resets after a few seconds but the cause of the fault should
be ascertained and dealt with to avoid reactivating the protection device.
IMPORTANT
– do not invert the leads on the battery terminals;
– do not use the machine without its battery or damage may be caused to the
charging regulator;
– be careful not to cause short-circuits.
