Check

IB-CHK-001 CHECK STEP 1 - Inspect removed interface and connectors

Tools:

  • No tools required.

Procedure:

  1. Inspect the motor housing sealing surface for residual silicone, cuts, scratches or other damage. Re-clean if needed before reassembly.
  2. Inspect the interface connectors and signal/charge cables for corrosion, damage or bent pins.
  3. Inspect the Bungie cord used to secure the interface during silicone curing (see IB-ASM-009 ASSEMBLY STEP 9 - Attach first bungee cord point) and its mounting points for wear, cracking or damage.

CAUTION

🗑 Do not reuse the removed Interface assembly GO (120020002) / Interface assembly DE2 (120020003) (select the correct variant for the unit). Cutting the silicone seal during removal compromises its watertight seal — always install a new interface assembly.

TODO

Add a dedicated photo showing the sealing surface and connectors being inspected, separate from the disassembly/reassembly action photos.
Define acceptance criteria for cable/connector wear (e.g. corrosion limits, pin damage tolerance, minimum bungee cord condition).

IB-CHK-002 CHECK STEP 2 - Inspect battery pack and connectors

Tools:

  • No tools required.

Procedure:

  1. Inspect the removed battery pack for swelling, deformation, corrosion or damaged cables.
  2. Inspect the motor cable connector and battery fixing plates for damage or corrosion.
  3. Inspect the housing channels the battery slides into for debris or damage.

CAUTION

🗑 Do not reuse a swollen, deformed or damaged Battery pack (706020002). See Safety instructions — “Handling a damaged or swollen battery” — for isolation, storage and disposal.

TODO

Define the acceptance criteria for battery pack condition (e.g. voltage/capacity check, swelling tolerance) before deciding whether a removed battery can be reinstalled.

  2. Orient the battery terminal on the opposite side from the motor cables.

CAUTION

Do not pinch or scrape the cables while inserting the battery. Make sure all cables are fully guided into their dedicated cable holders before sliding the battery in.
Check that the battery is correctly aligned with the housing channels. If it does not slide in easily, stop and re-check alignment rather than forcing it.
