The alternator incorporates flameproof joints with dimensions that are
other than the relevant maximum or minimum, specified in Table 1 or
IEC 60079-1. The user shall contact the original manufacturer for infor-
mation on the dimensions of the flameproof joints.
The user shall refer to the manufacturer’s instructions with respect to the
enclosure providing a degree of ingress protection IP66.
DO NOT DISASSEMBLE. The cover O-ring may
dislodge and cause failure of the flameproof
protection features. Verify that there is NOT a
gap between the cover and the alternator hous-
ing. Torque the nine cover bolts (M6x1x25 6g
Class 12.9. DIN 912) to 13.5 Nm/120 lb.in., which
incorporate a steel zinc-plated washer (7.10x
12.00-12.12x 1.0mm thick) complete with bonded
seal provided with each bolt.
