5.9.2 Remove a Heater Element
1. Disassemble wires and ceramic terminal connector from the failed heater
element. Label the wires to identify them for reassembly.
2. Use pliers to lift the heater element’s exit portion and insert a brass stick
below the heater element. Pull the heater element out of the groove while
prying it up with the brass stick.
3. Clean the manifold heater element groove with a brass brush and make
sure there is no contamination or sharp edges.
5.9.3 Install a New Heater Element
CAUTION
To protect the heat element from failure at startup, we highly recommend
using the soft start feature on the controller.
Use a plastic (nylon) mallet only. A regular soft rubber hammer will not work.
A smaller head size is preferred. Do not use a metal hammer. It will damage
the heater and the manifold surface.
CAUTION
1. Prior to installation, check the General Assembly drawing for the correct
heater element size and confirm the replacement conforms.
2. Check that the connection voltage does not exceed the heater element’s
operating (nominal) voltage.
3. Remove the spare nut and washers supplied on the threaded heater
element pin. Tighten the remaining nut, next to the ceramic ring, to 1 Nm
to provide proper sealing and protection.
4. Align the center of the heater element to the centre marking on the
manifold groove. Always start the heater element installation from the
middle point of the path. We recommend installing the heater element
gradually from both sides in parallel. This will help to get an equal exit
length.
