control cable and
housing through the retainer clip located on the upper portion of the
thermostat mounting plate. Insert end of cable through swivel hole of
thermostat linkage, but do not tighten screw. Move temperature control
to extreme low heat position; then move the thermostat control linkage
in a downward direction as far as it will go. Tighten swivel screw.
When thermostat cable is properly installed, the temperature control
should move the thermostat linkage from one extreme to the other
without interference from the cable housing.
36. IGNITION UNIT (Fig. 17)
The ignition unit is
designed so that internal components can be replaced, thus reducing
cost of service on this unit. In event of ignition failure that has
been traced to ignition unit, it
|
will be necessary to
determine which component is responsible. This is most easily done by
first substituting a vibrator that is known to be good.
If the trouble is
eliminated, the old vibrator was at fault. If substitution of the
vibrator fails to correct the difficulty, the ignition coil is
probably at fault. Capacitor failure will usually lead to failure of
the vibrator through pitting of the points and new capacitors should
always be installed when the vibrator is changed. Failure of a
capacitor may also be indicated by noise in car radio. To gain access
to the ignition unit components, remove three mounting screws and
remove the clips through which the screws were installed. The cover of
the unit can be removed for servicing of components. Figure 18 shows
the complete wiring diagram of the gas heater.
