(a) Wear an antistatic wrist strap.

(b) Connect the ground clip of the antistatic mat securely to a ground point provided in the workshop or on a workbench (anchor bolt).

HINT:

If the ground clip cable is too short, use an extension cable.

(c) Connect the ground clip of the antistatic wrist strap securely to the specified point of the antistatic mat.

(d) When handling internal components of the inverter with converter assembly, use only antistatic gloves or bare hands to prevent damage from static electricity or the entry of foreign matter.

9. DRAIN COOLANT (for Inverter)

(a) Place the inverter with converter assembly on a stand as shown in the illustration.

NOTICE:

  • Make sure to use the stand, otherwise the low voltage connectors or inverter upper cover may be damaged.
  • Make sure to place the inverter with converter assembly on the stand so that the coolant pipes are positioned downward.

(b) Connect the ground clip of the antistatic wrist strap securely to the inverter with converter assembly.

(c) Remove the 2 caps from the coolant pipes and drain the coolant (for inverter).

(d) Blow compressed air into the inverter with converter assembly until most all of the coolant (for inverter) is blown out.

NOTICE:

  • Do not damage the coolant pipes.
  • Apply compressed air to the silver colored coolant pipe.

HINT:

  • Use a piece of cloth as shown in the illustration to prevent the coolant (for inverter) from spraying.
  • Cover the air inlet port with a piece of cloth to minimize air leakage.

(1) Install the 2 caps to the coolant pipes.

10. REMOVE CONVERTER COVER

(a) Remove the 8 bolts.

(b) Using a screwdriver with its tip wrapped with protective tape, remove the converter cover from the inverter with converter assembly.
