REPLACING THE CELLS
Before replacing the electronic cells, be sure to
visually check the electronic cells for bent or
damaged collector plates or broken ionizing wires.
Bent or warped collector plates may be bent back
into shape.

REPLACING IONIZING WIRES
Broken or damaged ionizing wires must be
replaced for top efficiency. Remove all parts of
the broken or damaged wire. Replacement wires
come cut to length and ready for installation.
Remember that wires come cut to length and
ready for installation. Remember when replacing
the ionizing wires to:
1. Use care to avoid damage to the spring
connector or other parts of the cell during
installation.
2.
Hook “T” end of the ionizing wire in the
keyhole slot at one end of the cell.
3. Pull down the spring with a needle-nose pliers
and insert hook into the hole.
Before replacing the cell, it might be a good idea
to check it for a short circuit. This is done by using
an ohmmeter to check the resistance between the
frame of the cell and both the ionizer and collector
contacts. In each case, the resistance should be
infinite.
