Introduction

This Special Instruction provides information to install an improved cab blower housing assembly on the machines listed above.

Do not perform any procedure in this Special Instruction until you have read the information and you understand the information.

Safety Section

------ WARNING! ------

Personal injury or death can result from improper lifting or blocking.

When a hoist or jack is used to lift any part or component, stand clear of the area. Be sure the hoist or jack has the correct capacity to lift a component. Install blocks or stands before performance of any work under a heavy component.

Approximate weights of the components are shown. Clean all surfaces where parts are to be installed.


------ WARNING! ------

When it is necessary to work under the machine with the body (bed) raised, attach the body (bed) retaining cables to the rear tow points. Install the rear tow point pins through the ends of the retaining cables.

Failure to properly secure the body (bed) may result in personal injury or death.


------ WARNING! ------

Personal injury can result from working with cleaning solvent.

Because of the volatile nature of many cleaning solvents, extreme caution must be exercised when using them. If unsure about a particular cleaning fluid, refer to the manufacturer's instructions and directions.

Always wear protective clothing and eye protection when working with cleaning solvents.


------ WARNING! ------

Protect yourself and others; read and understand this warning. Fumes and gases can be dangerous to your health. Ultraviolet rays from the weld arc can injure eyes and burn skin. Electric shock can kill.

Read and understand the manufacturer's instruction and your employer's safety practices. Keep your head out of the fumes. Use ventilation, exhaust at the arc, or both, to keep fumes and gases from your breathing zone and the general area. Wear correct eye, ear and body protection. Do not touch live electric parts.

Refer to the American National Standard Z49.1, "Safety in Welding and Cutting" published by the American Welding Society, 2501 N.W. 7th Street, Miami, Florida 33125: OSHA Safety and Health Standards, 29 CFR 1910, available from U.S. Dept. of Labor, Washington D.C. 20210.


------ DANGER! ------

The Power Train Electric Drive System will contain hazardous voltage levels during machine operation and for a short period of time after engine shutdown.

Do not remove any covers that will expose energized high voltage electrical components while the engine is operating.

Any type of maintenance on the following components can only be performed after the Power Train Electrical System Service Shutdown procedure has been followed:

  • High voltage compartments in the inverter cabinet

  • The rear axle housing that contains the electric drive traction motors

  • The generator

  • The retarding resistor grid, the grid blower motor and the grid system cabling

  • The excitation field regulator

  • The high voltage cables and connection enclosures

Failure to follow these instructions could result in personal injury or death.



NOTICE

In order to prevent damage to components, the power train high-voltage system must be shorted to the cabinet ground before welding anywhere on the truck.

Installation Procedure



    Illustration 1g06090220
    (1) 493-7746 Blower Housing
    (A) Three holes of diameter 5.5 mm (0.22 inch)
    (B) 183.9 ± 3.0 mm (7.24 ± 0.12 inch)
    (C) 123.7 ± 3.0 mm (4.87 ± 0.12 inch)
    (D) 63.5 ± 3.0 mm (2.50 ± 0.12 inch)
    (E) 56.7 ± 3.0 mm (2.23 ± 0.12 inch)
    (F) 160.9 ± 3.0 mm (6.33 ± 0.12 inch)

  1. Drill extra three holes (A) on the bottom of blower housing (1). Refer to locations and dimensions shown in Illustration 1.

    Note: Skip this step if the holes at the indicated locations are already drilled.

    (2) 493-7745 Motor Plate
    (G) Four slots of size 9.5 X 24.4 (±3 tolerance)
    (H) Angle 45 ± 1/2 degrees
    (J) 27.7 ± 3.0 mm (1.09 ± 0.12 inch)

  2. Drill four slots (G) on motor plate (2). Refer to locations and dimensions shown in Illustration 2.

    Note: Skip this step if 493-7748 Motor is used, since 493-7748 Motor is sealed does not need vent holes.

  3. Locate the former 83426A fan wheel/housing assembly that needs to be replaced inside the cab. Discard the part.

  4. Disconnect all electric wires/connectors going to the fan assembly.
