EnPak A60 Output Inductor

The output inductor on EnPak A60 models listed above was manufactured incorrectly, which causes it to contact a metal air baffle within the power module assembly.

To correct this issue, install kit 291874 and follow the instructions.

 


Replacing Inductor Bracket

Stop engine and let cool.

Disconnect the battery cables from the truck battery.

1 Top Door Prop
2 White End Panel
3 Lower Cross Bracket
4 Inductor

Ensure the top door prop is bolted in place.
This is used to support the inverter.

Remove all screws on the white end panel.
Fold panel down.

Remove two screws on each end of the lower cross bracket. Remove and discard bracket.

Install new cross bracket with cutout. Make sure there is at least 0.1 in. (2.5 mm) clearance between the inductor and the bracket.

Straighten bracket if twisted.

Reinstall end panel.
