Replacing the Load Resistor
1. Remove the vent plug and install the shipping plug.
2. Supporting the unit to prevent damage to the interlock, stand it on its back with the
connector end up.
Note: In this position there is no danger of the coolant pouring out through
the resistor hole.
3. Unscrew and remove the clamping band.
4. Lift the load resistor assembly out of the tank and allow any coolant to drip back into
the tank.
5. The O-Ring should be free of twists and positioned evenly around the flange of the
resistor housing.
Note: If the O-ring shows signs of deterioration (e.g. is no longer pliable or has
surface cracks) replace it.
6. Replace the entire load resistor assembly.
Note: It cannot be further disassembled.
7. Put the clamping band in place and tighten it.
