Installation Procedure


    Object Number: 1489172  Size: SH

    Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

  1. Install the FICM insulators (3) into the FICM (2).
  2. Tighten
    Tighten the insulators fingertight.

  3. Install the FICM (2) onto the mounting bracket (1) ensuring the connector is facing down.
  4. Install the insulator nuts (4).
  5. Tighten
    Tighten the nuts to 12 N·m (9 lb ft).
