Remove/Replace Heat Shoes
Remove heat shoes every four months and inspect and clean them. Replace if necessary.
1. Ensure the heater is off and has cooled completely.
2. Remove the outer heat sealer guard as described above.
3. Use a 5/64 inch hex wrench to release the shoe from the heat sealer assembly.
4. Use a 5/64 inch hex wrench to unscrew the set screws on both ends of the heat shoe so
the heater and the thermocouple can be removed.
5. Insert the heater and the thermocouple in a new heat shoe, aligning them so their ends
are flush with the end of the heat shoe. Tighten the set screws to hold them in position.
6. Place the heat shoe back on the sealer assembly and tighten the set screw.
