This Electrical Troubleshooting section is designed for technicians who have the necessary electrical
knowledge and skills to reliably test and repair the RG5500 electrical system. For those without that background,
service can be arranged through your local dealer.
This section presumes that you are already familiar with the normal operation of the Grinder. If not, you
should read the Operator's Manual, or do the servicing in conjunction with someone who is familiar with its
operation.
Persons without the necessary knowledge and skills should not remove the control panel cover or attempt
any internal troubleshooting, adjustments, or parts replacement.
If you have any question not answered in this manual, please call your local dealer.
