1. Make certain the COLD
INCH/GAS PURGE switch is
operating properly.
2. Check for loose or faulty leeds
between COLD INCH/GAS
PURGE switch and the feedhead
board. See wiring diagram.
1. If the COLD INCH/GAS PURGE
switch is operating correctly and
the associated leeds are OK.
The feedhead board may be
