1.SYMPTOM: THE CONSOLE DOES NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY

a.Replace the batteries in the console (see assem- bly step 5 on page 5).

b.Make sure that the reed switch is properly adjust- ed (see assembly step 3 on page 4).

c.Make sure that the handrail wire is plugged fully into the wire on the console (see assembly step 6 on page 5).
