CONTROL PANEL

CONSTRUCTION

COMPONENTS

The panel is constructed of sheet metal and includes a panel box, a panel back cover and a front control panel. The panel box is retained to an engine-genera- tor divider plate by five M5 screws. Removal of these screws will permit the panel to be removed from the divider plate and set out of the way with connecting wires still attached. This will allow access to compo- nents housed in the control panel.

A heat sink bracket is attached to the engine-genera- tor divider plate, for attachment of a heat sink to which four diode assemblies are mounted. See Items 26 and 31 in the Exploded View of Control Panel. Other components are also shown in the Exploded View. Many of these components are part of the "ENGINE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM" (Part 6 of this manual).
