B. Installation
(1) Install the teflon tube (7, Figure 4-23) and
spacer (6) on the level sensor (5) and, insert
from inside chamber, thru the chamber wall.
(2) Install compression nut (4). Do
not over-
tighten. Tighten 1 1/4 turns from finger tight and
then install terminal (3) and nut (2).
(3) Check to assure the sensor is not grounded
against the chamber using an ohmmeter.
Place one probe on the sensor terminal
(1, Figure 4-24) and the other on the chamber
wall (2). No reading should be present.
(4) Connect the electrical lead (3) to the sensor ter-
minal (4).
(5) Run Service Diagnostics to check operation
and for leaks (refer to Service Diagnostics, Para
2.2).
