Description and Use

The amplifier (Figs. 1, 2), located inside the motor

box (Fig. 3), is the electronic device the drives all

TigerStop machines.

The procedure for removal and replacement of

the amplifier is simple to understand, easy to do.

The motor box is disassembled, the half that the

amplifier is mounted to is removed and replaced,

and the box is reassembled. As easy as that!
