  1. Remove the 190-8379 Bearing Installer Gp .

  1. Install the six screws around the perimeter. Use quarter turns in order to install the bolts. Tighten the screws in a star pattern. Tighten the screws until the rotor does not rest on the shim. Torque the screws to 27.1 N·m (20 lb ft).

    Note: If the bolt head shows wear, replace the bolt. A smooth surface is very important for proper operation.

  1. Place a drop of 7M-7456 Bearing Mount Compound onto the bottom of the threads of the retainer bolt.

  1. Clean the threads on the retainer bolt (31) with a wire brush or replace the bolt.

  1. Place one drop of 7M-7456 Bearing Mount Compound on the threads of the retainer bolt (31). Torque the bolt to 38 N·m (28 lb ft).

  1. Verify the angle for the static discharge drain by using the angle block. If the angle does not match the block, adjust the angle of the static drain. Refer to the Systems Operation, Testing and Adjusting manual for your unit in order to measure and adjust the static drain.

  1. Remove, lubricate, and install the O-ring for the new load cell.

  1. Insert the six 5/16 inch hex head bolts (38) into the load cell.

  1. Tighten the bolts to 27.1 N·m (20 lb ft) with a 1/2 inch socket wrench.

    Note: Use a star pattern when you tighten the bolts.

Installation of the load cell is not complete. Proceed to the ""Continuity Check" " section of this document.

Continuity Check

After the charge drain and the load cell is installed, check for continuity using the following procedure:

  1. The commutation sensor should still be disassembled from the flywheel. If the commutation sensor is not removed, remove the commutation sensor.

  1. With a standard ohmmeter, check continuity between the retaining bolt of the upper rotor and any unpainted, bare metal surface on the flywheel housing.

    If there is no continuity, the charge drain has not been installed and adjusted properly.

  1. If continuity does not exist:

    • Remove the load cell from the lower bearing cartridge.

    • Check the installation of the charge drain and the height adjustment.

    • Verify that the contact surfaces are clean.

    • Check continuity between the upper retaining bolts for the rotor and the lower retaining bolts for the rotor.

    • Reinstall the load cell.

    • Repeat the check for continuity.

  1. Once continuity is verified, reinstall the commutation sensor onto the upper bearing cartridge.

  1. Apply a light coat of vacuum grease to the O-ring for the commutation sensor. Reinstall the commutation sensor onto the assembly in the O-ring groove.

  1. Reinstall the commutation sensor with the three mounting screws.

  1. Remove the support shims for the rotor.

    If the support shims for the rotor are still bound between the rotor and the surface of the pole ring, remove the "load cell" and add a "2 mil" shim to the shim package for the load cell. Reinstall the "load cell".

    Note: If the shim package for the bearing cartridge is measured correctly, then no more than one shim should be required in this adjustment. If the gap between the retainer and bearing is less than "6 mils", the cartridge must be removed and an additional "2 mil" shim must be added to the brass shim package:

    • If the gap is "7 mils", one "2 mil" shim may be added to the shim package for the load cell.

    • If the gap is "9 mils", two "2 mil" shims may be added to the "Load Cell" shim package.

    If the load plate is stuck, try to wiggle the load plate by hand. Do not use a screwdriver or any other tool because of the risk of damaging the charge drain.

  1. Apply Dow-Corning high vacuum grease to the O-rings that are located on four plugs.

  1. Install the three plugs.

  1. Connect the lower harness from the Printed Wire Assembly (PWA) for the Flywheel Interface (FWI) to the load cell connector.

  1. Connect the lower harness from the Printed Wire Assembly (PWA) for the Flywheel Interface (FWI) to the lower flywheel housing connector.

  1. Connect the upper harness from the Printed Wire Assembly (PWA) for the Flywheel Interface (FWI) to the upper bearing cartridge connector.

  1. Connect the upper harness from the Printed Wire Assembly (PWA) for the Flywheel Interface (FWI) to the upper flywheel housing.

  1. The conversion is complete.
