Voltage Checks
CAUTION - - - - - - - - - . ,
Use extreme care when checking
voltage.
For the most part these checks will
consist of taking readings at the wall
receptacle in order to determine the
availability of voltage to the product.
Voltage checks on individual compo-
nents of a product are NOT recom-
mended due to the possibility of
electrical shock. Component part
testing is best accomplished through
conti nuity checks with an Appl iance
Test Meter. (See section on Appliance
Test Meter under ELECTRICAL TEST
EQUIPMENT of this chapter.)
16001145
Note: Use of the meter on voltage
higher than the indicated range may
cause permanent damage to the meter.
To prevent damage, first select highest
range and then lower the range for
readings which fall within the lower
scale.
SET UP METER FOR USE AS FOllOWS:
1. Turn selector knob to desired meter
function and appropriate range.
2. Plug black lead into socket marked
(-) negative.
3. Plug red lead into socket marked
( +) positive.
4. Place test leads into receptacle in
order to determine voltage avail-
able.
