There are two different methods when cleaning the heater coil. The EARLY style requires you to remove the whole heater assembly to access the heater coil. The LATER style only requires the removal of the rear cover (Item 2) [Figure 80-30-1], the whole heater unit does not need to be removed.
If your rear cover has the six mounting screws (Item 1) [Figure 80-30-1] visable, then you have the LATER style. Only the rear cover needs to be removed to access the heater coil for cleaning.
LATER STYLE:
Loosen the six mounting screws for the rear cover (Item 1) [Figure 80-30-1]. The screws do not need to be completely removed, they are secured on the back with plastic retaining washers.
Remove the cover.
The heater coil (Item 1) [Figure 80-30-2], can now be cleaned with low pressure water or air. High pressure may damage the fins of the heater.
