Cleaning the Battery Enclosure fan filters
Occasionally, it is necessary to clean the battery enclosure filters and filter covers.
There are four filters in total, two at each side of the enclosure.
To clean the filters:
1.
If fitted, switch the Battery Enclosure isolator OFF
2.
Turn BATTERY SYSTEM DC isolator OFF (down).
3.
Fans are installed in the upper vents only and will operate if the
batteries are hot. Ensure the fans are off before accessing the upper
vents. While waiting, you can start work on the lower vents.
4.
Using a small screwdriver or similar tool, pry the filter covers from
the filter baskets- there are two pry points at the lower edge of the
cover.
5.
Brush, wipe or vacuum any dust or debris from covers.
6.
Remove the filters from the baskets. Wash in cold soapy water,
rinse and squeeze out excess water. Lay flat to dry.
7.
Inspect the fan blades. Remove heavy dust build-up with a brush,
cloth, or vacuum cleaner.
8.
Refit the filters to the baskets.
9.
Refit the filter covers, ensuring the vents face downward. There
should be two tactile "clicks" as the snap-fits engage.
10.
Turn the BATTERY SYSTEM DC isolator ON (Up).
11.
Switch the Battery Enclosure isolator ON (to the left).
TIP! Do this job early in the
morning or at night, when the
fans are unlikely to be running.
