a. Removal. Refer to figure 4-24 and the follow-
ing instructions to remove the voltage selector
switch.
(1) Tag and disconnect leads from the voltage
selector switch.
(2) Loosen setscrew securing control knob on
the voltage selector switch and remove control
knob.

the voltage selector switch to the control panel.
(4) Remove the voltage selector switch.
b. Cleaning, Inspection and Repair.
(1) Carefully and thoroughly clean the exte-
rior surfaces of the voltage selector switch with a
clean lint free cloth.
(2) Inspect the switch for signs of burned ar-
eas, damaged threads, cracks or for loosened or cor-
roded contacts.
(3) Replace a damaged or defective voltage se-
lector switch.

tinuity of switch contacts in all positions.
4-38. Voltage Adjusting Rheostat (R1).
a. Removal. Refer to figure 4-24 and the follow-
ing instructions to remove the voltage adjusting
rheostat.
(1) Tag and disconnect the leads from the
voltage adjusting rheostat.

c. Installation.
(1) Position the voltage adjusting rheostat in
place on the control panel and secure with washer
and locking nut.
(2) Place rheostat knob over end of shaft and
secure with setscrew.
(3) Reconnect leads.
d. Testing. Test voltage adjusting rheostat as
follows:
(1) With the electrical leads disconnected
from the rheostat connect a multimeter to the two
outside terminals. The resistance should measure
not more than 11 or not less than 9 ohms.
(2) Connect the multimeter between the cen-
ter terminal and one of the outside terminals. Turn
the shaft of the rheostat from one extreme position
to the other. The resistance should vary smoothly
from zero to maximum.
