PSU-E Replacement 

Before replacing any part of the PSU (especially PCB A, PCB B): 

•

  Switch the machine off. 

•

  Disconnect it from the power source. 

•

  Allow the machine to stand at least 10 minutes before you open the PSU box 

door. 

PCB-A and PCB B of the PSU-E are both provided with a large capacity electrolytic 
condenser. 

Such large condensers store a large residual charge that can cause electrical 
shock if a board is handled too soon after the machine is turned off.
