INPUT RECTIFIER RESISTANCE TEST
(continued)
TROUBLESHOOTING & REPAIR
9. Check all leads connected to the input
rectifier. Check for looseness or shorted
wires.
10. Using an analog type meter, perform the
resistance test Steps A through L accord-
ing to the Table F.1.
NOTE: If terminals AC1, AC2, and AC3 of
the input rectifier are not easily
accessible, use terminals T1, T2,
and T3, respectively, of main con-
tactor CR1 for the resistance mea-
surements. Similarly, if terminals
POS and NEG of the input rectifier
are not easily accessible, use ter-
minals POS and NEG of the recon-
nect switch for the resistance mea-
surements.
11. After the test is completed and the prob-
lem successfully repaired, reconnect the
negative leads to the reconnect switch.
Fasten the reconnect switch assembly
back into position on the machine.
NOTE: If input rectifier was shorted, other
components may be faulty.
Perform Field Effect Transistor/
Switch Board Test and check for
“leaky” or “shorted” capacitors.
12. Install the machine case sides and top.
13. Install the handle and the lift bail rubber
gasket.
