only by components identical to the original ones. Any
other component substitution (other than original type)

plug and the secondary side:
1) Unplug the mains cord, and connect a wire between
the two pins of the mains plug.
2) Set the mains switch the “on” position (keep the
mains cord unplug).
3) Measure the resistance value between the mains
plug and the front panel, controls, and chassis
bottom.
4) Repair or correct unit when the resistance
measurement is less than 1M
¡
.
5) Verify this, before you return the unit to the
customer/user (ref. UL-standard no. 1492).
