Disassembly and Assembly N3 Series Brushless Alternators

Alternator - Disassemble

SMCS - 1405-015

Disassembly Procedure

Start By:

A. Remove the alternator from the machine. Refer to Disassembly and Assembly, "Alternator -Remove" for the machine that is being serviced.

Note: Before disassembly, clean the exterior of the alternator in order to prevent dirt from entering the unit.

The following disassembly procedure showsthe disassembly of the N3 seriesalternator (35 amperes).

NOTICE

Care must be taken inthe following step not to damage the alternator. Do not overtighten the vise.

1. Position the alternator in a vise or a similar clamping device.

2. Remove the following components: the pulley nut, the pulley and the fan.

Illustration 1 g00870070

3. Remove the two screws (1). Then remove the regulator cover.

Illustration 2 g00870086

4. Remove the nut from the "D+" terminal (2) .

5. Disconnect the lead for the suppression capacitor (3) .

6. Remove the two screws (4) that mount the regulator.

Note: The step may be unnecessary, if the component will not be tested or replaced.
