WARNING: Verify that the voltage is

checked across the correct terminals. Wear
the rubber insulating gloves. Failure to
correctly discharge the capacitors could
result in severe personal injury or death. 
NOTE: The positive and negative posts are
color coded. The positive cable has a red sleeve
on the end, and the negative cable has a black
sleeve on the end. 
Probe the positive and negative terminals of the
TIM with the leads from the Capacitor
Discharge Tool. The voltmeter will display any
voltage present. Continue to probe the terminals
until the voltmeter reads 0 volts

9. Probe the positive terminal and the case of the

TIM using the leads from the Capacitor
Discharge Tool. The voltmeter will display any
voltage present. Continue to probe the terminal
and case until the voltmeter reads 0 volts

10. Probe the negative terminal and the case of the

TIM using the lead s from the Capacitor
Discharge Tool. The voltmeter will display any
voltage present. Continue to probe the terminal
and case until the voltmeter reads 0 volts. The
TIM  capacitors have now been completely
discharged.
