- REMOVE INVERTER WITH CONVERTER ASSEMBLY WARNING:
Wear insulated gloves.
- Temporarily secure the No. 3 engine room wire with the inverter with converter assembly protector as shown in the illustration.TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION
*1 Protector HINT:
To prevent the No. 2 engine room wire from getting caught by other components, connect it to the protector before removing the inverter with converter assembly.
- Remove the 3 bolts and inverter with converter assembly.NOTE:
- Since the inverter with converter assembly is very heavy, 2 people are needed to remove the inverter with converter assembly. When removing the inverter with converter assembly, do not damage the parts around it.
- To prevent damage, do not hold the inverter with converter assembly by the connectors.
- To prevent damage due to static electricity, do not touch the terminals of the disconnected connectors.
- Even after the coolant is drained, coolant remains in the inverter due to its internal structure. Therefore, seal or cover the pipes when removing the inverter so that coolant does not spill out.
- Temporarily secure the No. 3 engine room wire with the inverter with converter assembly protector as shown in the illustration.
- REMOVE HIGH VOLTAGE FUSE WARNING:
Wear insulated gloves.
