Failure to follow this capacitor discharge procedure can result in electric shock.

INPUT FILTER CAPACITOR

DISCHARGE PROCEDURE

1.Turn off input power or disconnect input power lines.

2.Remove 14 5/16” hex head screws from side and top of machine (6 screws on each side and 2 screws on top) and remove wrap-around machine cover.

3.Be careful not to make contact with the capacitor terminals that are located in the center of the Switch Boards.

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 capscrews)shown in Figure F.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 capacitor on other side of machine. If you are working on a 575 VAC machine, repeat discharge procedure for second capacitor on each side of machine.

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.
