3-4. USE OF TROUBLESHOOTlNG TABLE

Table 3-1 contains troubleshooting information useful to operators in diagnosing and correcting

malfunctions or unsatisfactory operation of the reeling machine.

The Troubleshooting Table lists the common malfunction symptoms that operators are most likely to

encounter. Operation of the reeling machine's test and inspection steps will be followed to deter-

mine the cause, and the corrective action that should be taken for each possible cause listed.

The operator should first find the malfunction symptom which most closely describes the immediate

situation, and then perform the test and inspection, and corrective action steps in the order in which

listed.

This manual cannot list all possible malfunction symptoms that may be encountered, nor can it list

all possible test and inspection, and corrective action steps that may be taken. If a malfunction

occurs for which no symptom is listed, or if the listed corrective actions do not resolve the trouble,

supervision should be notified.

Troubles or corrective actions beyond the scope of operator capabiIities must be reported to

organizational maintenance.

NOTE

The items listed in the Corrective measures column in the chart below are for the use of

the operator only. If the symptoms indicate that the difficulty is beyond the level of

operator's maintenance, report the trouble to the organizational maintenance personnel.
