Procedure
1.
Stop all motion on the Path where the vehicle to be removed is located.
2.
Remove the vehicle as described in
Replace Precision Rail Vehicles
.
3.
Place the vehicle on a non-metallic work surface with the magnet arrays down. Keep
the magnet arrays at least three feet away from metal objects and tools. For safety rea-
sons, only remove and replace one magnet array at a time.
4.
Place the vehicle in the assembly fixture on a non-metallic work surface with the bear-
ings and magnet arrays facing downward. Keep the magnet arrays at least three feet
away from metal objects and tools. For safety reasons, only service one vehicle at a
time.
NOTE:
The fixture holds the magnet arrays in place and helps to prevent them from
being attracted to each other.
5.
Remove the four M4 x 12 mm screws securing the magnet arrays to the vehicle and
store them in a safe location for reuse.
6.
Holding both arrays in the assembly fixture, lift the vehicle off of the arrays and place
on the work surface away from the arrays.
7.
Remove the shims from the top of the magnet arrays and store them in a safe location
for reuse.
8.
Remove the arrays from the assembly fixture one at a time and place them in the orig-
inal shipping container, or in isolated containers. Do not move one magnet array over,
or near the other magnet array.
9.
Locate the replacement magnet arrays and place the first array in the assembly fixture.
10.
Hold the first array in place and place the second array in the assembly fixture. Do not
move the magnet array over, or near the other magnet array.
11.
Place the previously removed shim(s) on the top surface of the replacement magnet
arrays. Slide the shims around the array posts but do not allow the ends to extend
beyond the outer edges of the array.
NOTE:
If the shims are removed, or additional shims added, the length of the screws
must be adjusted appropriately.
12.
Place the mounting holes on the vehicle over the array posts. Realign the shims if nec-
essary to ensure they line up with the vehicle.
