SAFETY PRECAUTIONSThe following check should be performed for thecontinued protection of the customer and servicetechnician.LEAKAGE CURRENT CHECKMeasure leakage current to a known earth ground (waterpipe, conduit, etc.) by connecting a leakage current testersuch as Simpson Model 229-2 or equivalent between theearth ground and all exposed metal parts of the appliance(input/output terminals, screwheads, metal overlays, controlshaft, etc.). Plug the AC line cord of the appliance directlyinto a 120V AC 60Hz outlet and turn the AC power switchon. Any current measured must not exceed 0.5mA.(FOR USA MODEL ONLY)LeakagecurrenttesterReading shouldnot be above0.5mADeviceundertestTest allexposed metalsurfacesAlso test withplug reversed(Using AC adapterplug as required)EarthgroundAC Leakage Test
