2.Using the 3/8” wrench install the four mounting screws taking special care that the insulators are in the correct positions.

USE DOW CORNING 340 HEAT SINK COM- POUND ON ALL ALUMINUM CONNECTIONS

3.Assemble the positive lead to the right side pos- itive heat sink.

4.Assemble the lead from the polarity switch to the right side AC heat sink. Note: Also connect lead #216

5.Assemble the shunt to the SCR bridge left side negative heat sink.

6.Assemble the X2 secondary transformer lead to the left side AC SCR heat sink. Note: Also con- nect lead #217

7.Assemble the diode pigtail lead to the polarity switch lead. See Figure F.10. Be sure to replace sleeving and secure with cable ties. Position with harness and secure with cable ties.

8.Replace any previously removed cable ties.

9.Position the internal divider panel and secure with the screws previously removed.

10.Install the J2 plug into the control board and position the harness in the internal divider panel.

11.Position and install the case back and secure with the screws previously removed.

12.Install the gas hose onto the solenoid valve.

13.Tighten the input cable strain relief.

14.Assemble the case wrap-around cover.
