SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
Many electrical and mechanical parts in this chassis have special safety-related characteristics. These parts are identified by in
the Schematic Diagram and Replacement Parts List.
It is essential that these special safety parts should be replaced with the same components as recommended in this manual to
prevent X-RADIATION, Shock, Fire, or other Hazards.
Do not modify the original design without permission of manufacturer.



General Guidance Before returning the receiver to the customer,

Keep wires away from high voltage or high temperature parts. An other abnormality exists that must be corrected before the
receiver is returned to the customer.
Due to high vacuum and large surface area of picture tube,
extreme care should be used in handling the Picture Tube. Leakage Current Hot Check (See below Figure)
