DESCRIPTION
This test will help determine if the “power section” of the switch boards are functioning cor- rectly. This test will NOT indicate if the entire PC board is functional. This resistance test is preferable to a voltage test with the machine energized because this board can be damaged easily. In addition, it is dangerous to work on this board with the machine energized.
MATERIALS NEEDED
Analog Volt/Ohmmeter
5/16 in. Wrench
7/16 in. Wrench
This procedure takes approximately 30 minutes to perform.
