Figure 8. Testing Diode Elements
d. The Diode Torque Speci cations for LX-E
models is 5 mm = 48 in. lb.
e. In order to test whether the rotating recti er
assembly surge absorber elements are good or
not, rst disconnect all lead wires as described
in PARTS REPLACEMENT METHOD, Point 2,
(above) and measure the resistance across surge
absorber elements with a tester.
Good surge absorber elements have about 10-30 K
ohms, but if the resistance reading is near 0 ohms,
the surge absorber elements is defective and must
be replaced.
Also, inspect outside of surge absorber and replace
if it is cracked.
In addition, when installing surge absorber
ele ments, apply Loctite to the bolts.
3. Bearing Housing Replacement:
Inspect the O-Ring. If cracked, replace.
Reassemble carefully, aligning housing with
bearing. Tighten housing bolts to 2.5 kpm (18
ft/lbs.).
