electrical conductive connection.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
• Why does the display read “LO BAT”?
This is displayed when the internal 12V battery voltage is too low to properly run the electronic controls
and pumps. If a service is required, connect the battery cables to the service vehicle, otherwise, connect
the internal charger power cord to an 110VAC outlet and charge overnight.
• Why does the display read “TOO FUL”?
This is displayed when the NEW fluid tank is filled over its 32 quart capacity. The unit will not perform
a service until the NEW fluid tank is lowered to a level below 32 quarts.
• The unit will not turn on. What should I check?
The unit was shipped with two 10 A, 3AG cartridge fuses attached to the manual which is located in the
accessories box. Please make sure that these have been located and installed in the fuse holders on the
back of the cabinet. If the fuses are installed properly and unit will still not turn on, call Symtech
Customer Support for troubleshooting instructions.
• My unit displays “LO BAT” too frequently. Why is this?
The possible cause is that the internal battery is not being properly charged from an external source (such
as the service vehicle or external charger).
1. Check the two fuses on the rear panel (check with voltmeter if possible). If the fuses are
defective, replace with AGC-10 fuses (these are commonly available). If fuses are functional,
proceed to step 2.
2. Turn on unit with external power harness attached to the vehicle, remover the on board battery
fuse (located on left) and confirm power supply from vehicle. (If unit shuts off when fuse is
removed you have no power coming from car) Check the external power harness ends for bad
solder connection or broken harness wire. If cable ends and wires appear in good order, proceed
to step 3
3. Remove the top and inspect/repair internal wiring. If the wiring appears intact, please call
Symtech Customer Support for recommendations.
Recommend retro fit battery charger if one is not already installed
• The unit will not turn on or immediately displays LO BAT when using the internal battery. What
do I do?
1.
Swap the two fuses on the rear panel. If this corrects the situation, replace the fuses with AGC-
10 fuses (these are commonly available). If not, please call Symtech Customer Support for
recommendations.
• The unit will not turn on when using the external battery. What do I do?
1. Swap the two fuses on the rear panel. If this corrects the situation, replace the fuses with AGC-
10 fuses (these are commonly available).
2. Check the external power harness ends for bad solder connection or broken harness wire. If not,
please call Symtech Customer Support for recommendations.
• My unit has an internal battery charger but it doesn’t seem to charge properly. What do I do?
1.
Plug the unit into a working AC outlet and observe that a RED or GREEN LED is illuminated
through the panel on the rear of the unit.
2. If no light is visible, check that the external A/C power cord is seated firmly into the socket and
repeat step 1.
Note: Disconnect the A/C power cord from the unit before proceeding,
3. Remove the top and verify that the AC cord connected to the internal charger is seated properly,
as well as the three wires connected to the A/C inboard connector located at the rear of the
control top.
• The pump doesn’t run when activated. Why is this?
Obtain a DC voltmeter and call Symtech Customer Support for troubleshooting instructions.
