PROCEDURE - RECTIFIER BRIDGE
REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT
1. To remove the rectifier bridge, first you will
have to remove the field capacitor. Follow
Steps 1 - 10 above.
2. Depress the retainer clip on the molded
plastic holder and slide the rectifier bridge
out.
3. With the needle nose pliers, gently remove
the 6 wires from the rectifier bridge.
4. Replace the wires to their appropriate loca-
tions on the new rectifier bridge (See the
Wiring Diagram.):
Lead 200 and 200A are piggybacked on
the positive (+) terminal. Depending on the
bridge used, this corner may be beveled
and/or marked with a + sign.
Lead 201 and 201A are piggybacked on
the negative (-) terminal, which will always
be located diagonally across from the pos-
itive (+) terminal.
The two leads #7 and #9 are the AC side of
the bridge and attach to the other two cor-
ners. Either lead can go on either terminal.
