Caution: 2 people must carry
the HV battery blanket while transporting so that the ceramic sheet is not accidently
damaged. Do not carry the blanket from the top plastic cover; support the bottom of
the HV battery blanket while transporting. Do not install a HV battery blanket that
has a crack or tear in the ceramic sheet.
-
Align the HV battery blanket with the top cover of the battery so that the holes
(x10) in the blanket line up with the sealing disks (x10).
Note: Do not directly touch the sealing disks throughout this
procedure.
-
Visually inspect the battery blanket for damage, cracks, or torn plastic.
-
If the battery blanket is being reused, place a new plastic cover on top of the
blanket.
-
Remove the tape from both sides of the plastic cover.
-
Temporarily fold the front and rear portions of the plastic cover over, then
remove the tape and paper.
-
Fold over the ends of the plastic cover so that the butyl adhesive can be
adhered to the battery pack. Gently stretch the corners of the plastic cover and
press onto the top of the HV battery cover.
Note: Ensure that the strips of adhesive do not block any of the fasteners
and are not embedded in any of the gullies on top of the battery
pack.
-
Secure the plastic cover to the top of the battery pack by using a silicone seam
roller (TPN: 1049517-00-A).
Note: Apply pressure straight down onto the adhesive to avoid introducing
air bubbles or wrinkling the plastic top.
-
Ensure that the plastic cover is fully secured to the adhesive on the top of the
sealing disks (x10) by lightly pressing down on the plastic cover over each
sealing disk and applying moderate pressure in a circular motion around the entire
top of the sealing disk.
-
Using a plastic pick or equivalent tool, pierce the plastic cover over each of
the sealing disks (x10) to allow for easier installation of the HV battery.
-
Inspect the bottom right corner of the new Recycling Warning Label. Ensure
the part number is revision B or later.
Note: Do not install the Recycling Warning Label if it is revision A.
-
Apply the Recycling Warning Label to the plastic cover so that the left hand
edge of the label is 35 mm from the center of the battery pack and the top of the
label is 200 mm from the front of the blanket.
Note: The Recycling Warning Label
must be placed in this approximate location for regulatory purposes; do not
place the Recycling Warning Label on any other portion of the plastic
cover.
-
Reinstall the HV battery.
