Solution:
1. Move the machine to a quiet area. Test the motor
switch by pulling the shift yoke and listening for a
click. If a click is heard, then the motor switch is
functioning correctly.
2. Test the motor and the capacitor by applying a small
amount of pressure to the measuring head as you
cut a length of tape. If the machine stops and will
not feed the tape, the motor and capacitor need to
be replaced. See page 51.
