REMOVAL/REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE
NOTE: It is recommended that when the Transistor Module is replaced, the Power Board and the Control Board should be replaced.
NOTE: See Figure F.15.
1.Disconnect input power to the machine.
2.Remove the Left Case Side assembly.
3.Perform the CAPACITOR DISCHARGE PROCEDURE.
4.Perform the POWER BOARD REMOVAL PROCEDURE.
6. Remove the Transistor Module | ||||
from the heat sink. |
|
| ||
7. Install | the | replacement | ||
Transistor Module. |
|
| ||
a. Clean the heat sink surface | ||||
with “000 fine steel wool. | ||||
b. Rinse the heat sink surface | ||||
with alcohol or acetone. |
| |||
c. Apply a .002” to .005” coat | ||||
of joint compound evenly to | ||||
the heat | sink | mounting | ||
surface | and | the | Transistor | |
Module | mounting | surface. | ||
Use | Lincoln |
| Joint | |
Compound | T12837, | or | ||
equivalent, | such | as | Dow | |
Corning #340. |
|
| ||
d. Press the Transistor Module | ||||
onto the heat sink surface. | ||||
Remove the module to make |

has | been | applied. | When | |
removed, | both | surfaces | ||
should have an even texture | ||||

compound. |
|
|
| |
e. Mount the Transistor Module | ||||
on the heat sink with the | ||||
5mm | socket | head | cap | |
screws to 26 in/lbs. Partially | ||||
tighten each cap screw one | ||||
at a time to avoid uneven | ||||
torque on the base plate. |
