INTRODUCTION
Corrective maintenance consists of component replace­
ment and instrument repair. This part of the manual de­
scribes special techniques and procedures required to
replace components in this instrument. If it is necessary to
ship your instrument to a Tektronix Service Center for repair
or service, refer to the “Instrument Repackaging Instruc­

MAINTENANCE PRECAUTIONS
To reduce the possibility of personal injury or instrument
damage, observe the following precautions.
1. Disconnect the instrument from the ac power source
before removing or installing components.
2. Verify that the line-rectifier filter capacitors are dis­
charged prior to performing any servicing.
3. Use care not to interconnect instrument grounds
which may be at different potentials (cross grounding).
4. When soldering on circuit boards or small insulated
wires, use only a 15-watt, pencil-type soldering iron.
