‘T‘he alarm light does not illuminate for an abnormal condition (code No.12) of the generator output voltage (#,.terminal) or for air leakage (code No.56) within the front or rear valves.
For malfunctions represented by a code number with the* symbol, if the malfunction is of a temporary nature (such
as improper contact of a connector, etc.), the warning lamp’s illumi\
nation will stop when the malfunction stops, and
the function will return to normal.
When the alarm light is illuminated (i.e. when a malfunction has been d\
etected), the control mode cannot be switched (with the exception of a certain few malfunctions) when the c\
ontrol switch is pressed,.
If two or more malfunctions occur at the same time, the corresponding co\
