AB200, Fuse Holder - Service Bulletin
Thank you so much for your recent support of the new AB200 line — we really appreciate it! We wanted to share a heads-up regarding a minor issue that has been reported by a few customers: the fuse on some units may have come slightly loose from the holder during transit. The good news is that this does not affect all machines, but we want to make sure you're aware just in case. We've put together a step-by-step video guide that walks through the check — it's a very easy fix.
