REPAIR
1.
Temperature Sensor Harness Assembly
NOTE:
All ( ) part identification numbers herein are IPL, Fig 1 item numbers.
If any part of the temperature sensor harness assembly (22) is damaged, the entire assembly
must be replaced (DISASSSEMBLY/ASSEMBLY).
2.
Cell Assembly
NOTE
:
If three cells are replaced during a service cycle, or five cells are replaced over
the life of the battery, it is Saft’s recommendation that the battery be replaced.
A.
Replacement of the cell can be accomplished by:
(1)
Discharge the battery completely.
(2)
Remove upper cell terminal nuts (5) and intercell connecting links (11-15)
from the cell to be replaced.
(3)
Attach cell removal tool (P/N 017556-000) to the cell’s terminal and remove
cell from the case using a steady upward pull.
(4)
Replace cell with factory new by inserting the new cell into the case and
pushing downward on the cell terminals (with a small block of soft wood if
necessary)
NOTE:
New cell should must be discharged before installation is
performed.
(5)
Attach intercell connecting links (11-15) and upper cell terminal nuts (5), and
torque nuts per Fig 801.
(6)
Continue with battery maintenance as outlined in Fig 102.
B.
Repair to cell assembly (2) is limited to replacement of defective hardware (5 and 6),
the vent valve (3), the vent valve o-ring (4), and the lower terminal o-ring (not
shown). Defect of the cell itself requires cell replacement. To replace a defective
terminal o-ring:
(1)
Remove lower terminal nut and terminal o-ring being careful to prevent
anything from falling into the cell opening.
