5.05 Visually Inspect
Visually inspect the inside of the Power Source. The levels of current present in these units can cause burning or arcing of PCB, trans-
formers, switches, or rectifier when a failure occurs. Carefully inspect all components within these units.
Look in particular for the following:
a) Loose or broken wires or connectors.
b) Burned or scorched parts or wires or evidence of arcing.
c) Any accumulation of metal dust or filings that may have caused shorting or arcing.
If any parts are damaged, they must be replaced. Refer to the Spare Parts section for a complete list of components used in the Power
Source.
Locate the faulty component(s) then replace where necessary.
