Repair manual
STEP #7
After the generator has been rinsed out, remove the hand hole plate and gasket as explained in STEP #1
Observe the edges and surfaces of the hand hole and the plate for excessive wear and corrosion. Replace the
used hand hole plate gasket with a new one and install new corrosion resistors.
For the corrosion resistors to work properly, the hanger must be firmly connected to the support rod. Make
sure no scale or debris is between the support and the hanger. It must be a metal to metal connection. There
are some two probe generators with no support rods. Lay the corrosion resistors on the floor of the generator.
If the generator is an electric and there are no support rods do not leave the resistors in it. They may come to
rest against the elements and ground them out.
Do not use a gasket sealing material on the hand hole plate gasket. When tightening the nut on the bar, make
sure that at least 1/16" of gasket material is showing on the hand hole plate around the inside of the hand hole.
Reinstall the wire removed from the purge timer in the electric box.
STEP #8
Bring the steamer up to pressure by pressing the red power switch to fill the generator and then the amber
switch when the light comes on. After twenty (20) minutes the generator should have steam in it. Check for
steam leaks around the hand hole. If any leaks are found repeat the process for replacing the gasket.
