a.
Inspection.
(1)
Inspect all metal parts for dings, gouges, abrasions etc. On all parts except the ball (10), use 320 grit paper
to smooth and remove sharp edges. If ball (10) is damaged (scratched, gouged, etc.) it should be replaced.
(2)
Check the groove (round bottom) in the inlet for burrs on the corners. If groove is worn such that burrs
exist, use 320 grit paper to smooth and remove sharp edges.
(3)
Inspect the small spring-loaded continuity ball (36) located in the face of the unit. Push the ball in and be
sure that it pops back into place. If the ball does not pop back freely, electrical continuity is lost and static
discharge is possible. Replace entire coupling if continuity ball does not pop back out.
(4)
Inspect screw (6) and handle (9) for damage. If either part is bent, replace it.
