TROUBLESHOOTING (BLADE)
Practically all breakdowns can be prevented by proper handling and maintenance inspections, but in the event of a breakdown, please take a remedial action following the diagnosis based on the Blade Troubleshooting (Table 8) information shown below and on the proceeding page. If the problem cannot be remedied, please leave the unit just as it is and consult our company's business office or service plant.
