Q: The manual says "Do not service if untrained." Is it dangerous? A: Yes. The U15a’s power supply stores up to 400V DC (in Rev A with PFC) or 350V DC (Rev B/C). Discharge the main capacitors by shorting them with a 10W 1kΩ resistor as described in Section 1.3. Failure to do so can be fatal. Beta 3 U15a Service Manual
