REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION

Thermal Protection Switch

Removal

  1. Remove the screw securing the thermal protection switch retainer plate and lead wire clamp.

  1. NOTE: Switch removal may be difficult due to the silicone RTV used in switch installation. NEVER reinstall old thermal protection switch. ALWAYS replace with new switch unit, when required.

    Using a small bladed screwdriver, insert blade between switch and switch socket and remove switch.

Installation

  1. Remove all the old silicone RTV and thoroughly clean the thermal protection switch socket.

  1. Position the thermal protection switch so that the flat copper surface faces upward. Apply a small amount of silicone RTV to the flat copper switch surface to ensure outside air temperatures do not affect switch thermal sensing ability.

  1. Install the switch in the mounting socket. Position wire clamp, retainer and install retaining screw. Tighten to 5.4-8.1 Nm (48-72 lb-in).
