Description of Change: A new star-type lockwasher is now being used in the termination of the wiring conductor terminals for generator varistors. This new star-type lockwasher will help provide a more secure connection at the generator varistor conductor terminals and thus improve varistor reliability.

Adaptable To: The 1H-4393 Lockwasher is now used in the termination of the wiring conductor terminals for 9Y-9412 Varistors. The 1H-4393 Lockwasher is effective with the serial numbers listed in Table 1 and is adaptable to the serial numbers listed above.

In the event of field service work requiring the replacement of the generator varistor, a new 1H-4393 Lockwasher should be used when installing the new varistor. A new 1H-4393 Lockwasher should also be used if the varistor wiring conductor terminals become loose and require tightening. The 1H-4393 Lockwasher should not be recycled during field service work. It is recommended that you use a new 1H-4393 Lockwasher whenever you are required to replace the generator varistor.
