Inspection
Inspect parts for damage. Verify especially bellows
for cracks.
Assembly
Assembly is essentially the reverse of disassembly
procedures.
CARE
For flushing purposes, the cooling system is equipped
with either a fitting spigot or a hose adapter de-
pending upon the model.
For flushing operation, a coupler hose is available
(unnecessary for models with the hose adapter) to
connect to the fitting spigot. A garden hose is
used to flush the whole system by backwash. For
flushing procedure, refer to FLUSHING AND LU-
BRICATION.
For winterization of cooling system, refer to STOR-
AGE.
