6.Using a 9/16” nut driver, remove the two positive output leads connecting the out- put bridge to the shunt. See Figure F.27.

7.Using a 1/2” nut driver disconnect the six copper transformer secondary leads con- nected to the SCR bridge from the main transformer. Three leads are located on the top and three on the bottom. See Figure F.27.

8.Using a 3/8” nut driver remove the right bolt mounting the SCR bridge to the front assembly. The bolt is located below the control board. See Figure F.28.

9.Cut any necessary cable ties.

10.Using a 1/2” nut driver, remove the two mounting bolts on the right side of the machine mounting the SCR bridge to the main transformer.

11.Using a 9/16” nut driver, remove two bolts covered in red insulating paint on the left side of the machine only. These two bolts are located above leads #301 and #264. See Figure F.26. Note position of insula- tion, nut, bushing, and washer placement upon removal. See Figure F.26.

12.Locate, label and remove lead #251 from main transformer. The solder connection

must be broken to disconnect. See Figure F.27.
