CHARGING DIODE INSTALLATION
CAUTION
• Be sure to remove and discard the protective film from both sides of the thermal pad before installing
it. If not removed, the film will reduce the thermal heat transfer and therefore reduce the power
handling capability of the diode, causing it to overheat and damage the electrical system.
1. Thoroughly clean and dry the area of the chassis where the new charging diode (7) is to be attached (Figure
19-51, Page 19-47) .
2. Peel the protective film from both sides of the new thermal pad (8).
3. Install the new thermal pad onto the charging diode.
4. Install the charging diode onto the chassis.
5. Install the nut (6). Tighten the nut to 25 in·lb (2.8 N·m).
6. Route and connect the charging diode wires to the solenoid posts in the electrical component box. See following
WARNING.
WARNING
• Incorrect wiring could result in severe injury or death.
• Charging diode and solenoid connections must have correct polarity.
• Keep all persons clear of engine belts when making final connections.
6.1. Connect the charging diode red wire (4) to the solenoid post with the 4 gauge red wire, 10 gauge red
wire, and 16 gauge orange wire.
6.2. Connect the charging diode white wire (5) to the other large solenoid post with the 4 gauge white wire, 18
gauge white wire, and 18 gauge red wire.
7. Install the nuts (3). Tighten the nuts to 55 in·lb (6.2 N·m).
8. Install the electrical component box cover (2).
9. Install the screw (1). Tighten the screw to 18 in·lb (2.0 N·m).
10. Connect the battery and spark plug wire.
