Figure 5-43 Radiant Heater Disassembly
Before replacing the heating element, use an ohmmeter between the pins to determine if the heating element
is the failed electrical component. A replacement heater kit includes heating element; heater leads with pins,
and the connector and ground wire. You can replace the element with the canopy still assembled to the unit by
running the canopy to its top travel limit and lowering the elevating base to its lowest position.
1. Using a small straight blade screwdriver, remove the 6 arrow clips that secure the sot beneath the rear of
the canopy and remove the sot
2. Remove the 4 screws that secure the heater housing cover to the heater bracket and remove the cover.
