WARNING
To prevent galvanic corrosion, the CAC upper
brackets need to be electrically insulated from
the CAC body.
When reinstalling brackets, make sure the
plastic insulating bushings (two per bracket) &
washers (one per bracket) are present and in
good condition (replace as necessary).
After installation, check for proper insulation
(lack of conductivity) between brackets and
CAC body with a suitable ohmmeter or
continuity tester (buzzer).
13. In preparation for reinstallation of the CAC,
install the inner insulating bushings in their
location (lower support).
NOTE
To ease installation and ensure that the
bushings will not move during reinstallation,
use common masking tape to hold the inner
bushings to the lower support.
