12. Cut the copper evaporator tubing as far
from the epoxy joints as possible. Do not
remove the epoxy joint. See illustration
below. Use a tubing cutter to make this cut.
DO NOT use a hacksaw.
13. Install the replacement evaporator by
hanging it on the left mounting screws.
Install the evaporator over the right
mounting screw. Tighten (2) screws to hold
the evaporator in place. Care should be
taken to prevent any foreign matter from
entering the evaporator and aluminum
tubes.
14. Deburr the tubing ends (see previous
illustration) to remove any residue left from
the tubing cutters, using ScotchBrite or
ne emery cloth. Care should be taken to
prevent residue from entering the cut tubing
ends, which could contaminate the system.
15. Apply a few drops of LokPrep, a specially
formulated anaerobic sealant that lls in
any surface scratches. This is extremely
important to a successful, leak free joint.
16. Insert the tubing ends into the LokRing
union connector as far as they will go
(internal stop). Then rotate the connector a
full 360° to distribute the LokPrep evenly.
