Check that the batteries are fully charged.
Push in the main circuit breaker reset button. See III. “Your PMV.”
Make certain that both T-handle battery harnesses are firmly connected to the rear section and to the
battery terminals. See VII. “Disassembly and Assembly.”
Make sure that the front-to-rear harness is firmly connected to the rear section. See VII. “Disassembly

DIAGNOSTIC FLASH CODES
The diagnostic flash codes for your PMV are designed to help you perform basic troubleshooting quickly
and easily. A diagnostic flash code will flash from the status LED in the event one of the conditions listed
below develops.
NOTE: Your PMV will not run unless the flash code condition is resolved and the PMV has been turned
off, then turned back on.
Any electromechanical device occasionally requires some troubleshooting. However, most of the
problems that may arise can usually be solved with a bit of thought and common sense. Many of these
problems occur because the batteries are not fully charged or because the batteries are worn down and can
no longer hold a charge.
