REMOVAL PROCEDURE

1.Remove input power to the TIG 225 machine.

2.Using the 3/8” nutdriver remove the case wrap- around cover.

3.With the needle nose pliers remove the two secondary leads from the quick-connects on the high frequency arc starter board assembly. See Figure F.11.

4.Disconnect the in-line splice quick connect from one primary lead to lead #231A. Cut any nec- essary cable ties.

5.Remove the lead splice from the other primary lead that is connected to lead #236 and the C4 capacitor. See wiring diagram. Cut any neces- sary cable ties.
