PRECAUTIONS DURING SERVICING

1. Parts identified by theA(>l<) symbol parts are critical for
safety. Replace only with parts number specified.
. In addition to safety. other parts and assemblies are speci~

to

. Check that replaced wires do not contact sharp edged or

pointed parts.

. Also check areas surrounding repaired locations.

tied for conformance with such regulations as those apply- 9. Use care that foreign objects (screws, solder droplets, etc.)
ing to spurious radiation. do not remain inside the set.
These must also be replaced only with specified replace-
ments. SAFETY CHECK AFTER SERVICING

3) High voltage leads microphone jacks).
4. Use specified insulating materials for hazardous live parts.
Note especially:

1) Insulation Tape
2) PVC tubing
3) Spacers (Insulating Barriers)
4) Insulation sheets for transistors
5) Plastic screws for fixing microswitch (especially in turn-
table)
. When replacing AC primary side components (trans-
formers. power cords, noise blocking capacitors. etc.). wrap
ends of wires securely about the terminals before soldering.

denial

6. Observe that wires do not contact heat producing parts
(heatsinks, oxide metal film resistors, fusible resistors. etc.).
