SAFETY CHECK-OUT
After correcting the original service problem, perform the
following safety checks before releasing the set to the customer:
1.
Check the area of your repair for unsoldered or poorly-soldered
connections. Check the entire board surface for solder splashes
and bridges.
2.
Check the interboard wiring to ensure that no wires are “pinched”
or contact high-wattage resistors.
3.
Check that all control knobs, shields, covers, ground straps, and
mounting hardware have been replaced. Be absolutely certain
that you have replaced all the insulators.
4.
Look for unauthorized replacement parts, particularly transistors,
that were installed during a previous repair Point them out to the
customer and recommend their replacement.
5.
Look for parts which, though functioning, show obvious signs
of deterioration. Point them out to the customer and recommend
their replacement.
6.
Check the line cord for cracks and abrasion. Recommend the
replacement of any such line cord to the customer.
