servicing the electrical system

unless stated otherwise.

through the electrical outlets prior to servicing

the machine.

Refer to the UDM Parts List for electrical diagrams.

Fuse Panel

controls are not working properly and replace as

necessary. If the fuses fail frequently, determine the

cause and repair immediately.
