SAFETY CHECK-OUT

After correcting the original problem, perform the following

safety check before return the product to the customer.

1. Check the area of your repair for unsoldered or poorly soldered connections. Check the entire board surface for solder splasher and bridges.

2. Check the interboard wiring to ensure that no wires are “pinched” or contact high-wattage resistors.

3. Look for unauthorized replacement parts, particularly transistors, that were installed during a previous repair. Point them out to the customer and recommend their replacement.

4. Look for parts which, though functioning, show obvious signs of deterioration. Point them out to the customer and recommend their replacement.

5. Check the B + voltage to see it is at the values specified.

6. Make leakage - current measurements to determine that exposed parts are acceptably insulated from the supply circuit before returning the product to the customer.

RISK OF FIREREPLACE FUSE AS MARKED

WARNING!

HIGH VOLTAGE

CAUTION: FOR CONTINUED PROTECTION AGAINST FIRE HAZARD, REPLACE ONLY WITH SAME TYPE 2.5 AMPERES 125V FUSE.

ATTENTION: AFIN D'ASSURER UNE PROTECTION PERMANENTE CONTRE LES RISQUES D'INCENDIE, REMPLACER UNIQUEMENT PAR UN FUSIBLE DE MEME, TYPE 2.5 AMPERES, 125 VOLTS.

WARNING:

TO REDUCE THE ELECTRIC SHOCK, BE CAREFUL TO TOUCH THE PARTS.
