Installation Instructions
CE-32T,
CE-32TL
The CE-32TL is designed for 2000 Softail (The CE-32TL comes with a
low voltage regulator specially tuned for Softails)
These
kits are designed to replace stock charging systems on the models listed. They
reuse the stock plastic stator plug housing. They will fit other Twin Cam
models. If installing on models not listed a stator plug housing will be
needed.
These are generalized instructions and are not
intended to be all-inclusive. For more detail on your model see service manual.
Alternator Removal
1) Disconnect negative
battery terminal.
2) Drain primary case oil.
3) Remove outer primary cover.
4) Consult appropriate
service manual and remove compensator sprocket.
Note: After
several thousand miles it may be possible to remove the compensator sprocket
and chain adjustor shoe without removing the clutch. Caution: Do not put
excessive side force on chain.
5) Remove output shaft
extension. Take note of all shims and spaces between output shaft extension and
rotor.
6) Remove rotor.
7) Unplug regulator from
stator. Remove the stator plug housing. First remove the blue secondary lock
using a small hock or long #6 wood screw in the small hole in the middle. It
will pull out. Than using a small screwdriver release the locking tab and
remove each wires one at a time.
8) Remove 4 stator mounting
screws. Remove 2 stator plug clamp screws. Remove stators.
Alternator Installation
1) Install stator wire
through the hole in the case. Pull gently on the wires to seat the case sealing
grommet. On twin cam models the first lip on the grommet well come all the way
through and seat on the out side of the case.
2) Mount stator to engine
case with new mounting screws (supplied). Screws have thread-locking compound
already applied. Torque screws to 30-40 in-lbs.
3) Insert stator plug
terminals in to the stator plug housing removed in step 8. Push in until they
click into place. Reinstall blue secondary lock.
4) Install rotor.
Note: Twin Cam models do not use shims under the rotor.
5) Add stock shim removed in
step 5.
6) Install output shaft extension.
7) Install compensator
sprocket with chain adjuster shoe, and clutch if removed.
8) Adjust primary chain.
9) Check primary chain
alignment.
10) Install outer primary and
other parts removed.
Note: Don’t forget to add oil on wet clutch models.
Regulator-Remove Old Regulator
1) Disconnect battery
negative terminal.
2) Disconnect regulator DC
wire from the main breaker.
Note: if you tie a piece of fishing line to the ring
terminal of old regulator wire before pulling wire out. You can use this cord
to pull the new wire in place.
3) Take note of how old wire
is routed. Cut wire ties and remove wire.
4) Unbolt regulator and
remove.
Install New Regulator
1) Mount new regulator. Use
the stock mounting bolts with the star washers supplied. Insert star washers
between the bolt head and the regulator. This will insure the regulator has a
good ground connection.
2) Route DC+ output wire to
main circuit breaker. Connect wire to silver post of main breaker.
3) Plug stator to regulator.
4) Check the routing of all wires to be sure they are not in a vulnerable position. Keep wires away from exhaust pipes and moving parts. Be sure wires are not on the very bottom of the lower frame or they will get pinched if you bottom out.
Replace all wire ties previously cut and add new ones
where necessary.
5) Reconnect battery and
start motor. Test battery voltage. All “L” model regulators should run between
13.7~14.1 Standard models should run 14.2 to 14.6 depending on what model you
have.
Have A Good Ride!!
