Remove two screws, two high limit guards, and high limit sensing bulb from heating elements as needed.

Remove remaining four or six screws, spreader straps, element feet, and spreader bars from the heater being replaced.

Remove two screws and front and rear capillary brackets if replacing left heater of a full vat or a split vat heater.

Using a crosshead screwdriver, or screw gun, remove nine screws and rear panel.

Trace lead wires of heater element to be replaced, to its respective contactors, tag each wire, and disconnect heater lead wires from contactors.

Remove fasteners and cable clamps, wire ties, and cable wrap from heater lead wires as needed.

Remove two screws, and while raising heater element up out of vat, carefully pull lead wires through pivot housing to remove heater element.

Install new o-rings over new heater lead wires and position them against the heater mounting plate.

Place new heater element near vat, pass lead wires through pivot housing, lower heater into vat, align holes of heater retainer plate with the holes in the pivot housing and install two screws.

Route lead wires to contactors and connect the wires to each contactor terminal.

Gather any slack in the lead wires as close to element pivot housing as possible similar to the arrangements shown at left for a full vat or split vat. This will allow the leads to move freely with the normal up and down movement of the heating element.
