INPUT FILTER CAPACITOR
DISCHARGE PROCEDURE

1. Turn off input power or disconnect input power

lines.

2. Remove the 5/16" hex head screws from the side

and top of the machine and remove wrap-around
machine cover.

3. Be careful not to make contact with the capacitor

terminals that are located on the top and bottom of
the Power Board on the right side of the machine.

4. Obtain a high resistance and high wattage resistor

(25-1000 ohms and 25 watts minimum). This resis-
tor is not supplied with machine. NEVER USE A
SHORTING STRAP FOR THIS PROCEDURE.

5. Locate the two capacitor terminals (large hex head

cap screws) on the Power P.C. Board shown in
Figure D.1.

6. Use electrically insulated gloves and insulated pli-

ers. Hold body of the resistor and connect resistor
leads across the two capacitor terminals. Hold
resistor in place for 10 seconds. DO NOT TOUCH
CAPACITOR TERMINALS WITH YOUR BARE
HANDS.

7. Repeat discharge procedure for the other capaci-

tor .

8. Check voltage across terminals of all capacitors

with a DC voltmeter. Polarity of capacitor terminals
is marked on PC board above terminals. Voltage
should be zero. If any voltage remains, repeat this
capacitor discharge procedure.

ELECTRIC SHOCK

can kill.

Have an electrician install and service

this equipment.

Turn the input power off at the fuse

box before working on equipment.

Do not touch electrically hot parts.

Prior to Performing preventative main-

tenance, perform the following capaci-
tor discharge procedure to avoid elec-
tric shock.
