SAFETY PRECAUTIONS ‘The following check should be performed for the continued protection of the customer and service tech: nician. LEAKAGE CURRENT CHECK Measure leakage current to a known earth ground (water pipe, conduit, etc.) by connecting a leakage current tester such as Simpson Model 229-2 or equivalent between ‘the earth ground and all exposed metal parts of the appli: ance (input/output terminals, screwheads, metal overlays, control shaft, @tc.). Plug the AC line cord of the appliance directly into @ 120V AC 60Hz outlet and turn the AC power switch on. Any current measured must not exceed 0.5m. Reading should ‘ot be above O5ma O Sousa reveres Ew (Using AC sdapter sroune lag as reauired AC Leakage Test ANY MEASUREMENTS NOT WITHIN THE LIMITS OUTLINED ABOVE ARE INDICATIVE OF A PO- TENTIAL SHOCK HAZARD AND MUST BE COR- RECTED BEFORE RETURNING THE APPLIANCE TO THE CUSTOMER. 2. PRODUCT SAFETY NOTICE Many electrical and mechanical parts in the appliance hhave special safety related characteristics. These are often not evident from visual inspection nor the protection afforded by them necessarily can be obtained by using replacement components rated for voltage, wattage, etc. Replacement parts which have these special safety charac: teristics ate identified in this Service Manual. Electrical components having such features are identified by marking with a Jon the schematics and on the parts list in this Service Manual, The use of a substitute replacement component which dose not have the same safety characteristics at the PIONEER recommended replacement one, shown in the parts list in this Service Manual, may create shock, fire, ‘or other hazards. Product Safety is continuously under review anc new instructions are issued from time to time. For the latest information, always consult the current PIONEER Service Manual. A subscription to, or additional copiesof, PIONEER Service Manual may be obtained at a nominal charge from PIONEER.2.
