(e)
The carrier engine is equipped with
special suppressed spark plugs to
suppress radio interference.
(f)
Instructions for replacement of the
above suppression components will
be
found
in
the
applicable
maintenance section of this manual.
(2)
Shielded cables.
(a)
The carrier generator is equipped
with a shielded cable connecting the
generator to the generator regulator.
(b)
The ignition cables that connect the
spark plugs to the distributor are of
the shielded type.
Note.
Do not pull on the cable or twist the
braided shielding. Gently work the
cable from side to side and free the
rubber seal. Do not use sharp metal
tools to install the rubber seal.
67. Replacement of Suppression Components
a.
General.
For
replacement,
suppression
components must be identical to the original part.
Capacitors must be the same size and have the same
microfarad and voltage rating as the part being
replaced. Special care must be taken to be certain
there is a good metal-to-metal contact with washers and
bonding straps.
b.
Primary Suppression Components.
(1)
Ground straps. Replace ground straps as
illustrated on figure 5.
(2)
Suppression cover. Replace suppression
cover as illustrated on figure 5.
(3)
Suppression
receptacle.
Replace
suppression receptacle as illustrated on
figure 5.
c.
Secondary Suppression Components (Crane).
(1)
Tooth-type lockwashers.
(a)
Replace the generator tooth-type
lockwashers (par. 72).
(b)
Replace the generator regulator
tooth-type lockwashers (par. 73).
(c)
Replace the distributor tooth-type
lockwashers (par. 74).
(d)
Replace starter and solenoid tooth-
type lockwashers (pars. 77 and 78).
(e)
Replace the spark plugs (par. 76).
(2)
Shielded cables.
(a)
Replace the shielded generator-to-
generator regulator cable (pars. 72
and 73).
(b)
Replace the spark plug-to-distributor
ignition cables (par. 76).
d.
Secondary Suppression Components (Carrier).
(1)

(a)
Replace the generator tooth-type
lockwashers (par. 206).
(b)
Replace the generator regulator
tooth-type lockwashers (par. 208).
(c)
Replace the distributor tooth-type
lockwashers (par. 200).
(d)
Replace the starter and solenoid
tooth type lockwashers (pars. 203
and 204).
(e)

(2)
Shielded cables.
(a)
Replace the shielded generator-to-
generator regulator cable (pars.
206 and 208).
(b)
Replace the spark plug-to-distributor
ignition cables (par. 202).
68. Testing or Radio Interference Suppression
Components
Test the capacitors for leaks and shorts on a
capacitor tester; replace defective capacitors. If test
equipment is not available and interference is indicated,
isolate the cause of interference by trial-and-error
method of replacing each capacitor in turn until the
cause of interference is located and eliminated.
