5. Accessing the Plate and Air Heaters:
a. Use the following method to remove the plate heater
assembly or access the compartment underneath the
plate heater.
b. Remove the cowl assembly per step 9.3.1.
c. Then remove the air delivery assembly following steps 9.3.2a and 9.3.2b.
d. Insert a thin, sharp knife, i.e. Exacto-type, between the heater plate and the HLZ
chassis. Carefully cut the silicon adhesive
between the heater plate and the chassis.
e. Lift the heater plate by prying up one end of
the heater plate away from the HLZ chassis.
The plate is held in place by an acrylic tape.
It will be difficult to break the bond between
the heater plate and chassis.
f. Remove acrylic tape from the heater plate
and frame to prevent rebounding while
servicing.
g. When reinstalling the heater plate,
apply new acrylic tape to the HLZ
chassis first. Then position the
heater plate standing on its side
against the back air delivery
assembly. The heater plate leads
should be coming off the “top” edge of
the heater plate.
h. Once the heater plate is aligned
properly with the HLZ chassis, gently
lower the heater plate until the plate end with the lead wires is approximately 2 inches
from the chassis. Feed the leads through the opening in the chassis wall.
i. Finish lowering the heater plate into place and connect the heater plate lead wires.
After cutting the acrylic adhesive
between the heater plate and the HLZ
chassis, use a screwdriver to gently
lift the heater plate.
Gently lift the heater plate, which may still
be stuck to the adhesive. Apply new acrylic
tape to the chassis before reinstalling the
heater plate.
NOTE: A hot platen is
easier to remove. The
heat makes the
adhesive holding the
platen in place more
pliable.
