Elements have an expected life of 2,000 hours plus. When an element burns out, it cannot be repaired and must
be replaced with a new element. To change the element on your heater:
1.
Turn off the supply power at the panel.
2.
Disconnect and dismount the heater.
3.
Remove the lid with the four or five Phillips head screws.
4.
Remove the nut and bolt from the ring terminals on the back of the element.
5.
Remove the two screws fastening side of the enclosure to the support brackets.
6.
Pull the head wrap, element and support bracket out of the enclosure just enough to expose the screws
on the side of the head-wrap.
7.
Remove the support brackets from the head wrap and remove the top two screws on the head wrap
allowing the old element to be pushed out and replaced by the new element.
8.
Push the new element tight to the face of the headwrap and replace the top two screws.
9.
Set the headwrap with the support brackets into the enclosure and pull the excess wire back through the
electrical box and secure with clamp. Position the support brackets on each side of enclosure and
replace and tighten the two screws.
10.
Re-install the nut and bolt into ring terminals.
11.
Place lid onto enclosure and tighten screws.
12.
Push 1/4" plug into fuse holder and reconnect wire with a wire nut.
13.
Place on the electrical box cover and tighten screws.
14.
Re-connect and re-mount the unit.
15.
Test unit.
Note:
If the voltage has been changed you must update ETL label on the heater. Take a ballpoint pen, cross out the
old voltage and put an "x" in the new voltage to update the label.
