Replace a Fuse
Replace a fuse with the same type and size as the original. Installing the wrong fuse
could damage the electrical circuits inside the machine.
1. Turn the power switch to the Off (O) position and disconnect the power cable from the
main power source. Ensure that the
POWER indicator light does not illuminate.
2. Verify that the voltage setting is correct on the power input connector. Refer to “Set the
Input Voltage” on page 4-2 if you need to change the line voltage.
3. Insert a small flat-head screwdriver into the slot indicated in Figure 5-2 on page 5-7
and pry out the fuse holder.
Electrical Hazard - Shut down the system and disconnect the power cable from
the main power source before replacing a fuse. Dangerous voltages can cause
personal injury.
