STEP 8
Once voltage is at a safe level, disconnect the bleeder hose from port G3 and put it on to G4 (G11
Port for V2 lite) and repeat steps 4-6. Once the line is bled out, disconnect the bleeder hose removed
for lockout/tagout and connect all electrical connections. Put on all covers that were removed.
STEP 9
