UPPER SHELL REMOVAL

NOTE: Upper shell removal is necessary when access to

internal parts of the heater is necessary.

1. Remove the six (6) screws from the upper shell, flanges

which run along each side of the heater.

2. Grip the upper shell flange along one side of the heater,

pull away from the heater to disengage it from the lower

shell flange, and lift up. Disengage the opposite-side

flanges and lift off the upper shell.

3. Replace the upper shell by engaging the upper and lower

shells' flanges on one side of the heater, then pull out

and press down the upper shell flange, on the opposite

side, to engage the lower shell flange.

4. Align the six (6) screw holes and install the screws.

ELECTRICAL

1. Remove the upper shell, as described in this manual,

and lift off the top fan shroud.

2. Check all internal wiring, for deterioration (hardness and

cracking), obvious component damage, and loose connec­

tions. Repair or replace as necessary.

NOTE: When in doubt about your ability to repair your

heater, take it to your Sears Service Center.

Spark Plug

A

Always make sure the heater is unplugged before

attempting removal of spark plug.

NOTE: At the beginning of each heating season, and after

every 300 hours of operation, the spark plug must

be removed, cleaned, and gapped. If plug's electrodes

are burned or eroded, replace the plug.

3. Pull the spark plug wire terminal up and off of plug.

4. Remove two (2) screws and the nozzle adapter bracket

which mounts the spark plug and nozzle adapter.

5. Remove the lock nut retaining the spark plug in the

bracket and remove the plug from the bracket.

6. Clean and gap the plug's electrodes to 0.050", or replace

the plug if necessary, making sure the new plug is

properly gapped.

7. Insert the plug into the bracket and thread the locknut

onto the plug. Before tightening the nut, position the

plug so the gap between the electrodes faces the nozzle

adapter, as illustrated. Tighten the nut.

8. Position the nozzle adapter bracket so screw holes

align. Insert and tighten both screws.

9. Push the spark plug, wire terminal onto plug.

10. Set the top fan shroud in position and install the

upper shell.

The motor is a sealed unit and cannot be lubricated or

serviced electrically.
