	Replace building line fuse(s) or reset circuit breaker(s) if open.
	Check for proper electrical input connections (see Section 3-11).
	Check for proper jumper link position (see Section 3-11).
	Check Power switch S1 and replace if necessary.

	Check, repair or replace remote control device.
	Allow a cooling period of approximately 15 minutes. If thermostats TP1 remain open, check continuity
	and replace if necessary (see Section 3-3).
	Check circuit breaker CB1, and reset if open (see Section 7-2).
	Place Output Selector switch S4 in desired position (see Section 4-2).
	Check optional preflow timer board TD3, and replace if necessary.
	Check optional spot timer relay TD2 for proper connections and resistance. Replace TD2 if
	necessary.
	Check continuity of Spot Time switch S8. Check condition of contacts. Repair or replace S8 if neces-
	sary.
	Check SR1, and replace necessary components. If components are replaced, check capacitors C7
	thru C10. Replace capacitor(s) if necessary.
	Check control board PC1 and connections, and replace if necessary.

	Increase Amperage Adjustment control R1 setting if a remote control is used (see Section 4-7).
	Check, repair or replace remote control device.
	Check resistance and connections of Amperage Adjustment control R1; R1 is 1000 ohms ± 10%.
	Replace R1 if necessary.
	Check SCRs in main rectifier SR1, and replace if necessary. If any SCRs are replaced, Check capac-
	itors C7 through C10 for a short or open, and check for proper connections. Replace C7 through C10
	if necessary.
	Check control board PC1 and connections, and replace if necessary.
	Effective with Serial No. KB110695, check resistance and connections of HD1; HD1 is 1600 ohms

	Check connections for continuity to shunt device on units with Serial No. prior to KB110695.
	Check bypass capacitors C13, C14, C16, C17, C18, and C19 for broken leads, shorts, and leakage.
	Replace if necessary.
