REMOVAL
NOTE:
^ Failure to use the anti-static mat SA 9502Z properly will result in damage or latent damage to the cluster electronics.
^ Do not touch or bump the pointers or the gages. If the pointers are moved from their positions, the calibration of the gage will be affected and the gage will no longer be accurate and must be replaced.
IMPORTANT: If the lens/mask gets dirty it can be cleaned by following the procedures in this manual. If a dial face gets dirty it can be cleaned by using glass cleaner and a lint free rag.
1. Remove instrument panel cluster assembly.
2. Thoroughly clean hands with soap and water to remove any oil or other substances which could damage the cluster. If unable to clean hands, an alternative is to wear surgical gloves during all procedures.
IMPORTANT: It is strongly recommended that rubber gloves (e.g., like surgical gloves) be worn while performing removal and installation procedures to prevent grease, smudges, scratches and fingerprints.
3. Place anti-static mat SA 9502Z down on the work area. In order to ground the mat connect the alligator clip to a large metal object (e.g., work bench) making sure that the attaching point is a bare metal surface and not painted or coated. Also put the wrist strap around one of your wrists.
4. Place a clean, dry, soft material such as a cloth baby diaper on top of the anti-static mat.
5. Place instrument panel cluster assembly face down on the cloth and the anti-static mat.
6. With end of housing (white portion of cluster) in one hand and lens/mask assembly (black portion of cluster) in other hand, disengage clip #1 with one hand while separating lens/mask assembly from housing with other hand.
7. Repeat for clips #2 through #7.
IMPORTANT: Do not touch inside of lens.
8. Place lens/mask assembly in clean area.
INSTALLATION
1. Holding lens/mask assembly by the ends and face up align reset knob with hole in lens.
2. Start lens/mask tabs into slots in housing and at the top of cluster seat two housing tabs into lens/mask slots.
3. Press down on top of lens/mask around edge to fully seat all clips.
4. Inspect that all gages and clips are seated correctly and that there is no debris or markings on the lens or dial faces.
5. Install instrument panel cluster assembly.
