8) Remove the Heater Holder (L).
9) Loosen the screws, and remove the Support - Cutter and Cutter. The Cutter is attached
with the Heater and Thermal Fuse. To completely disconnect it from the unit, loosen the
closed end connector or cut the wire.
10) Be careful not to damage the Heater.
11) When refitting the Cutter, use the adjust screws at the front and top to adjust the space
from the Drum to 0.2 - 0.5 mm at an ambient temperature of 15 - 35°C. Measure the
space across the three positions on the Drum's circumference. To prevent loosening,
tighten the adjusted screws a further 90 degrees and fix them by double nuts.
Note: The following steps will require refrigerant gas recovery. Skip them if not needed.
To facilitate servicing after refrigerant recovery, loosen the flare nuts on the joints
and the four downward screws on the Tank Bracket, and move the Tank assembly
onto a separate work table.
When reassembling, apply a sealant to the four downward screws on the Tank
Bracket.
12) Recover the refrigerant and store it in a proper container, if required by an applicable law
(See "1. [b] REFRIGERANT RECOVERY").
IMPORTANT
Always install a new Drier every time the sealed refrigeration system is opened.
Do not replace the Drier until after all other repair or replacement has been
made.
