"Load Cell" Static Drains
Verify that the replacement charge drain measures 8.6360 0.5080 mm (−.34 .02 inch) from the tip to the middle of the bend with calipers.

Check of the Length for the Charge Drain
Add one drop of thread compound into the threaded hole next to the charge drain slot in the load plate.

Initial Installation of the Charge Drain Strip
Thread the screw through the washer. Install the screw and the washer onto the load plate.Do not tighten the screw completely. Allow enough clearance so that the washer can slide freely underneath the screw head. Refer to Illustration 2 (B) .
Slide the folded, short end of the drain (charge) into the slot of the load plate and underneath the washer. Refer to Illustration 2 (C) .The drain (charge) should seat all the way to the back of the slot. The washer is oversized. The washer should be positioned so that the washer does not overlap the bend in the drain (charge). Refer to Illustration 2 (D) .
Verify that the tip for the drain (charge) is at the correct angle. Use the gauge block for the drain (discharge).Slide the gauge block so that the tip of the drain (charge) is resting on the block. Refer to Illustration 3. This should be no more than (1/8 inch).If the tip is at the correct angle, then the tip for the drain (charge) will rest flat on the angled surface. Make sure that the tip does not deflect downward when the block is removed.Do not use the gauge block as a means of bending the charge drain into position. By using the gauge block to bend the drain (charge), the tip will bow.

Gauge Block
With the tip of a small flat head screwdriver, adjust the bend in the drain (charge). Adjust the bend so that the tip is at the correct height. Make adjustments by applying pressure near the base of the drain (charge).Do not apply force at the tip of the drain (charge). Force on the tip will cause the tip to bow.

Adjustment of the Drain (Charge)
Check the height of the tip after each adjustment.Continuity Check
After the drain (charge) is installed, check for continuity. using the following procedure.
The commutation sensor should still be disassembled from the flywheel. If the commutation sensor is not removed, remove the commutation sensor.
With a standard ohmmeter, check continuity between the retaining bolt of the upper rotor and any unpainted, bare metal surface on the flywheel housing.If there is no continuity, the charge drain has not been installed and adjusted properly.
If there is no continuity:
Remove the "load cell" assembly from the lower bearing cartridge.
Check the installation of the charge drain and the height adjustment.
Verify that the contact surfaces are clean.
Check continuity between the upper and lower rotor retaining bolts.
Reinstall the "load cell" assembly.
Repeat the check for continuity.
Once continuity is verified, reinstall the commutation
