Many electrical and mechanical parts in this chassis have special safety-related characteristics. These parts are identified by      in the 
Schematic Diagram and Exploded View.
It is essential that these special safety parts should be replaced with the same components as recommended in this manual to prevent 
Shock, Fire, or other Hazards. 
Do not modify the original design without permission of manufacturer.
General Guidance
An  isolation Transformer should always be used during the 
servicing of a receiver whose chassis is not isolated from the AC 
power line. Use a transformer of adequate power rating as this 
protects the technician from accidents resulting in personal injury 
from electrical shocks.
It will also protect the receiver and it's components from being 
damaged by accidental shorts of the circuitry that may be 
inadvertently introduced during the service operation.
If any fuse (or Fusible Resistor) in this TV receiver is blown, 
replace it with the specified.
When replacing a high wattage resistor (Oxide Metal Film Resistor, 
over 1 W), keep the resistor 10 mm away from PCB.
Keep wires away from high voltage or high temperature parts.
Before returning the receiver to the customer,
 
always perform an AC leakage current check on the exposed 
metallic parts of the cabinet, such as antennas, terminals, etc., to 
be sure the set is safe to operate without damage of electrical 
shock. 
Leakage Current Cold Check(Antenna Cold Check)
With the instrument AC plug removed from AC source, connect an 
electrical jumper across the two AC plug prongs. Place the AC 
switch in the on position, connect one lead of ohm-meter to the AC 
plug prongs tied together and touch other ohm-meter lead in turn to 
each exposed metallic parts such as antenna terminals, phone 
jacks, etc. 
If the exposed metallic part has a return path to the chassis, the 
measured resistance should be between 1 M
Ω and 5.2 MΩ. 
When the exposed metal has no return path to the chassis the 
reading must be infinite.
An other abnormality exists that must be corrected before the 
receiver is returned to the customer.
Leakage Current Hot Check
 
(See below Figure) 
Plug the AC cord directly into the AC outlet.
Do not use a line Isolation Transformer during this check.
 
Connect 1.5 K / 10 watt resistor in parallel with a 0.15 uF capacitor 
between a known good earth ground (Water Pipe, Conduit, etc.) 
and the exposed metallic parts.
Measure the AC voltage across the resistor using AC voltmeter 
with 1000 ohms/volt or more sensitivity.
Reverse plug the AC cord into the AC outlet and repeat AC voltage 
measurements for each exposed metallic part. Any voltage 
measured must not exceed 0.75 volt RMS which is corresponds to 
0.5 mA.
In case any measurement is out of the limits specified, there is 
possibility of shock hazard and the set must be checked and 
repaired before it is returned to the customer.
