Installation
CAUTION
This equipment is designed for operation in a
horizontal position only, with mounting brackets down.
Do not operate in any other manner.
The Models 8251, 8252, and 8255 are to be installed, and
operated, in a horizontal position. The unit is shipped
horizontal, and normally stands on its base brackets.
The load may be used for portable operation and stand
free, or it may be secured to a bench top or other flat
surface for a fixed installation. Mount the load with four
screws of up to 1/4 inch diameter. Fasten the screws
through the four 9/32 inch holes in the mounting brackets
that arranged in a 5-1/8 inch x 15 inch (130.2 x 381 mm)
rectangle.
Location
For operation above 300 watts, allow at least six inches
(153 mm) of clearance on each side. Operate the load in a
horizontal position only, with the handle on top.
Shipping and
Vent Plugs
WARNING
The vent plug must be used at all times when the unit
is in operation or cooling. Failure to do this could
result in damage to the equipment and endanger the
operator’s safety. Be sure to check this plug.
CAUTION
Do not leave out the O-Ring seal, P/N 5-504 when
interchanging the vent and shipping plugs.
Before placing the unit into operation, remove the ship-
ping plug on the top of the radiator and replace with the
vent plug supplied. Refer to figures 1 and 2 for identifica-
tion of the plugs. Don’t forget to use the O-Ring seal, P/N
5-504. The shipping and vent plugs are connected with a
short length of bead chain to prevent the mislaying or
loss of the unused plug.
