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.
- Install the 2 caps to the coolant pipes.
- Place the inverter with converter assembly on a stand as shown in the illustration.
- REMOVE CONVERTER COVER
- Remove the 8 bolts.
- Using a screwdriver with its tip wrapped with protective tape, remove the converter cover from the inverter with converter assembly.
*a Protective Tape - - NOTE:- Do not damage the sealing surfaces of the inverter with converter assembly.
- Do not touch or allow grease or oil to contact the sealing surfaces of the inverter with converter assembly.
- Be careful not to damage the sealing surfaces of the inverter with converter assembly.
- To prevent internal components of the inverter with converter assembly from being damaged, do not insert the screwdriver excessively.
- Remove the 8 bolts.
- REMOVE SEAL PACKING FROM INVERTER WITH CONVERTER ASSEMBLY NOTE:
- Do not allow any removed seal packing to enter the inverter with converter assembly.
- Do not touch the circuit board.
- Do not allow any moisture to come into contact.
- Using a finger, remove any seal packing that has seeped into the inverter with converter assembly.
HINT:
Make sure to remove any seal packing which has seeped toward the inside of inverter with converter assembly before installing the seal packing removal cover, otherwise the seal packing may be pushed into the inverter with converter assembly.
- Break off the seal packing removal cover and scraper at each break off line.
- Set the seal packing removal cover on the inverter with converter assembly and secure it with tape.
*a Tape NOTE:Make sure that the seal packing removal cover is in secure contact with the inside surface of the inverter with converter assembly without any gaps.
- Place the inverter with converter assembly on its side on an antistatic mat as shown in the illustration.
*a MG Connector Opening NOTE:- Make sure that the MG connector opening in the inverter with converter assembly is facing upward.
- Make sure that the inverter with converter assembly is oriented correctly, otherwise seal packing may enter the inverter with converter assembly.
- Using a scraper, remove any remaining seal packing from the inverter with converter assembly.NOTE:
- It is not necessary to remove small amounts of seal packing which are not easily scraped off.
*a Correct *b Incorrect *c Width of Sealing Surface *d Difficult to Remove Seal Packing *e Peeled Off Seal Packing *f Seal Packing Remaining on Full Width of Sealing Surface - Make sure to use the scraper supplied with the seal packing removal cover.
HINT:
Use the small end of the scraper to remove seal packing from small areas such as bolt holes.
- It is not necessary to remove small amounts of seal packing which are not easily scraped off.
- Remove the tape used to secure the seal packing removal cover and then remove any seal packing which was under the tape.
- Using a clean piece of cloth, clean the sealing surfaces of the inverter with converter assembly.NOTE:
- Do not use compressed air or a vacuum cleaner to clean the sealing surfaces of the inverter with converter assembly.
- Do not use non-residue solvent to clean the sealing surfaces of the inverter with converter assembly.
- Remove the seal packing removal cover.NOTE:
Make sure that the inverter with converter assembly is oriented correctly, otherwise seal packing may enter the inverter with converter assembly when removing the seal packing removal cover.
- Make sure that the inverter with converter assembly is free of foreign matter.
- REMOVE HV CONVERTER KIT NOTE:
- Do not touch the circuit board.
- Do not allow any foreign matter or water to enter the inverter with converter assembly.
- Place the inverter with converter assembly on a stand as shown in the illustration.NOTE:
Make sure that the inverter with converter assembly is oriented correctly.
- Remove the 3 bolts (A) in the order shown in the illustration.
Bolt (A) Bolt (B) - Remove the 8 bolts (B).
- Disconnect the HV converter kit connector and set it as shown in the illustration.NOTE:
Make sure that the wire harness of the connector is engaged to the filter condenser.
- Install 2 HV converter kit installation bolts at the positions shown in the illustration and tighten them in several steps to separate the HV converter kit from the inverter with converter assembly.NOTE:
- Tighten the 2 bolts in several steps.
- Do not forcibly separate the HV converter kit.
- In order to prevent any foreign matter from entering the inverter with converter assembly, do not remove the bolts.
- Hold the corners of the HV converter kit and remove it as shown in the illustration.
*a Do Not Allow Coolant (for Inverter) to Enter *b Hold Here Remove in this Direction - - WARNING:- As there is a coolant passage underneath the HV converter kit, be careful not to spill any coolant (for inverter) into the filter condenser or the holes around the edge of the inverter with converter assembly.
- If any coolant (for inverter) spills into the filter condenser or the holes around the edge of the inverter with converter assembly, do not reuse the inverter with converter assembly.
- If any coolant (for inverter) spills onto any area other than the specified areas, remove it with a clean piece of cloth.
- Remove any metal shavings from the areas around the bolt holes and 2 positions where bolts were installed to separate the HV converter kit, using tape or equivalent.
*a Bolt Contacting Surface *b Bolt Hole - Using a clean scraper, lift the O-ring at the position shown in the illustration and then remove it.WARNING:
- When removing the O-ring, be careful not to spill any coolant (for inverter) into the filter condenser or the holes around the edge of the inverter with converter assembly.
- If any coolant (for inverter) spills into the filter condenser or the holes around the edge of the inverter with converter assembly, do not reuse the inverter with converter assembly.
- If any coolant (for inverter) spills onto any area other than the filter condenser or the holes around the edge of the inverter with converter assembly, remove it with a clean piece of cloth.
- Clean the O-ring groove of the inverter with converter assembly.NOTE:
