TEST PROCEDURE

1.Remove main input supply power to the machine.

2.With the 3/8" nut driver, remove the 4 screws that hold the handle to the machine.

3.Remove the rubber gasket (cover seal) from the lift bail.

4.With the 5/16" nut driver, remove the sheet metal screws from the case top.

5.With the 5/16" nut driver, remove the screws holding the right and left case sides. Remove the case sides by lifting up and out.

6.Perform the Capacitor Discharge Proce- dure described earlier in this section of the manual.

WARNING

Before continuing with the test procedure, perform the capacitor discharge proce- dure to avoid electric shock.

7.Perform the following tests on the four switch boards:

Switch Board 1: (Switch Board 1 is Marked CAP 1 on the Switch Board Assembly Connection Decal - See Figure F.24.)

A.Remove quick connect terminals #401, #402, #9, and #12 from switch board 1.

B.With the volt/ohmmeter, check for 25 ohms resistance between lead #401 and #12E.

If the measurement reads between 20 and 30 ohms, resistor R1 and leads #401 and #12E are okay. Go to step C.

If the measurement does not read between 20 and 30 ohms, check for continuity in leads #401 and #12E. Then test for 25 ohms resistance across R1 directly. If the measurement does not read between 20 and 30 ohms, replace resistor R1.

C. With the volt/ohmmeter, check for 25 ohms resistance between lead #402 and #9E.

If the measurement reads between 20 and 30 ohms, resistor R2 and leads #402 and #9E are okay. Go to step D.

If the measurement does not read between 20 and 30 ohms, check for continuity in leads #402 and #9E. Then test for 25 ohms resistance across R2 directly. If the measurement does not read between 20 and 30 ohms, replace resistor R2.

D.With the volt/ohmmeter, check for 7.5 K- ohms resistance between lead #12L (12E) and #9L (9E).

If the measurement reads between 6.75 and 8.25 K-ohms, resistor R9 and leads #12L(12E) and #9L (9E) are okay. Go to step E.

If the measurement does not read between 6.75 and 30 K-ohms, check for continuity in leads #12L (12E) and #9L(9E). Then test for 7.5 K-ohms resistance across R9 directly. If the measurement does not read between 6.75 and 8.25 K-ohms, replace resistor R9.

E.Reconnect quick connect terminals #401, #402, #9, and #12 on switch board 1.

Switch Board 2: (Switch Board 2 is Marked CAP 2 on the Switch Board Assembly Connection Decal - See Figure F.24.)

A.Remove quick connect terminals #403, #404, #9, and #12.

B.With the volt/ohmmeter, check for 25 ohms resistance between lead #403 and #12F.

If the measurement reads between 20 and 30 ohms, resistor R3 and leads #403 and #12F are okay. Go to step C.

If the measurement does not read between 20 and 30 ohms, check for continuity in leads #403 and #12F. Then test for 25 ohms resistance across R3 directly. If the measurement does not read between 20 and 30 ohms, replace resistor R3.
