3. Mechanical Disassembly
General
This section of the manual provides detailed information for performing parts
replacements that may be required during the life of the product. The procedures
are guidelines for performing repair maintenance; and must be used by personnel
practicing good maintenance and repair technique. Good maintenance technique
includes, but is not limited to, adhering to all precautions and safety considerations
when working on the unit; and using the correct tools for the job being performed.
With certain areas in this section it is recommended that the procedure be
performed by a factory trained technician. This reference is indicated by stating
"FACTORY SERVICE ADVISED" at the start of the procedure.
WARNING! Failure to practice good maintenance and repair technique may result
in injury to personnel performing the work, and damage to the equipment!
NOTE: The System
Warranty is exclusive of, and may be VOID if, poor maintenance
practices have caused damage to the equipment.
Static Electricity / Grounding Strap Use
Any time work is performed inside the covered areas of the embroidery peripheral,
it is recommended that a static grounding strap be used.
The grounding strap must be connected in the proper manner to insure the static
charge on the persons body is neutralized to the chassis ground level of the
embroidery peripheral when working in the electronic areas under the covers.
When working inside the controller section (EMI box) of the EMC 10/4, a good
position for attaching the grounding strap is on the EMI box cover flange (see
Figure 3-1). After removing the EMI box cover, locate the flange around the top of
the EMI box that holds the nuts for mounting the EMI cover. This box is efficiently
grounded and the flange is easily accessible, to allow the alligator clamp to be
attached effectively.
After placing the wristband over your wrist, attach the alligator clamp of the
grounding strap to the EMI box flange (or any other metal which is proven to have
chassis electrical ground level).
When working inside the area under the keyboard and display, attach the
grounding strap to any metal which is proven to have chassis electrical ground
level, but on that side of the machine.
