Q8 Engine Replacement (TN612)

Preparations

Read the instructions carefully before starting, and leave yourself time to perform the work.

You will need to have the following tools to hand:

  • Flat screwdriver
  • Replacement MOD-Q8-ENG.

Ensure you have taken appropriate anti-static precautions

Avoid working in areas with synthetic floor coverings or carpet, especially polypropylene material, as opposed to natural materials such as solid wood or wool. Ideally work at a proper workbench with ESD safe features, such as a metal frame. Before work, try to discharge yourself into a mains earth fitment, water pipe etc.

This is important as parts of the equipment are static sensitive and even if any damage is not immediately obvious, so called “latent damage” can occur, where a device may be partially degraded yet continue to perform its intended function. However, the operating life of the device may be reduced dramatically, leading to premature failure.

If you are unsure about any part of the procedure, seek advice before proceeding.
