Position Of The New Plate (1) 224-0748 Plate (A) 3.2 mm (0.13 inch) spacer
Position plate (1) on the cooler core. Use spacer (A) in order to correctly position the plate. Make sure that the plate is positioned flat against the spacer, the tank, and the side plate assembly. Refer to Illustration 3 for the correct position of the plate.
Personal injury can result from flame cutting or welding on painted areas.The effect of gasses from burned paint is a hazard to the person doing the cutting or welding.Do not flame cut or weld on painted areas.
Personal injury or death can result from fumes, gases and ultraviolet rays from the weld arc.Welding can cause fumes, burn skin and produce ultraviolet rays.Keep your head out of the fumes. Use ventilation, exhaust at the arc, or both, to keep fumes and gases from your breathing area. Wear eye, ear and body protection before working.Protect yourself and others; read and understand this warning. Fumes and gases can be dangerous to your health. Ultraviolet rays from the weld arc can injure eyes and burn skin. Electric shock can cause death.Read and understand the manufacturer's instructions and your employer's safety practices.

Tack Welds For The New Strip (1) 224-0748 Plate (2) 224-0746 Strip (B) Tack weld
Position strip (2) against plate (1). Make sure that the strip is positioned flat against the spacer, the tank, and the side plate assembly. Refer to Illustration 5 for the correct locations of the tack welds. Tack weld (B) the strip to the cooler core assembly and to the plate.
Repeat Step 1 through Step 3 for the three remaining corners of the cooler core assembly.
Make sure that the mounting holes and surfaces are positioned correctly. Failure to verify the correct positions may create problems during reassembly and the potential failure of the cooler core assembly.
