Health & Safety ode Section 25249.6 Proposition 65 NOTIE (FOR NIN MOEL ONLY) Fuse symbols (fast operating fuse) and/or (slow operating fuse) on P indicate that replacement parts must be of identical designation. REMRQUE (POUR MOÈLE NIEN SEULEMENT) Les symboles de fusible (fusible de type rapide) et/ou (fusible de type lent) sur I indiquent que les pièces de remplacement doivent avoir la même désignation. (FOR US MOEL ONLY) 1. SFETY PREUTIONS The following check should be performed for the continued protection of the customer and service technician. LEKGE URRENT HEK 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 appliance (input/output terminals, screwheads, metal overlays, control shaft, etc.). Plug the line cord of the appliance directly into a 120V 60Hz outlet and turn the power switch on. ny current measured must not exceed 0.5m. evice under test Test all exposed metal surfaces lso test with plug reversed (Using adapter plug as required) Leakage current tester Reading should not be above 0.5m Earth ground NY MESUREMENTS NOT WITHIN THE LIMITS OUTLINE OVE RE INITIVE OF POTENTIL SHOK HZR N MUST E ORRETE EFORE RETURNING THE PPLINE TO THE USTOMER. 2. PROUT SFETY NOTIE Many electrical and mechanical parts in the appliance have 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 characteristics are identified in this Service Manual. Electrical components having such features are identified by marking with a on the schematics and on the parts list in this Service Manual. The use of a substitute replacement component which does not have the same safety characteristics as 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 and new instructions are issued from time to time. For the latest information, always consult the current PIONEER Service Manual. subscription to, or additional copies of, PIONEER Service Manual may be obtained at a nominal charge from PIONEER.
