2.

3.
Remove two Phillips head screws and wire leads
from the capacitor.
4.
Discharge the capacitor (see Warning above).
5.
Use an ohmmeter or multi-meter set on the "Ohms
times 1000" scale (if available) to check resistance
across the wire terminals. The needle should jump
toward zero ohms and quickly move back to infinity.
(NOTE: Some less-sophisticated meters will only tell
you if the capacitor is good or bad.)
6.
If the needle does not move, if the needle reads a
constant value or near zero ohms, or if the needle
jumps toward zero and then moves back to constant
high resistance (not infinity), replace the capacitor.
SHIELD
7.
Installation is the reverse of removal.
NOTE: On installation, route the wires through the notches
in the shield.
