REPLACING THE CHAMBER GUARDTo install the New Vinyl Guards, Proceed as Follows:1. Clear off the old mastic from around the top chamberguard retainer.2. Mastic is to be used between the stainless steel topand the top chamber guard retainer. Hold thetapered edge of the spout at an angle, then presson tube and force mastic out. Pull along the retain-er at an even pace.3. Hook the four corners of the chamber guard in placeand work the top edge along the top retainers hookingthe top edge in place. (B). Then stretch the chamberguard downward, and hook in place over the bottomretainer (C). If there is any excess mastic from aroundtop, Hexane, light naptha, will remove the mastic.LIDSThe cabinet lids of the Flip-Flop design are made in twowidths: single width and double width. The double widthlids are for the double row cabinets and cover the squarearea so the lids may be placed to lift from side to side offrom end to end as desired. Stainless steel lid assem-blies are made in two widths.To replace the hinges, proceed as follows:1. Remove the lid from the cabinet.2. Remove the screws securing the hinge plate to the lid.3. Remove the defective hinge.4. Align the new gasket and hinge plate in insert screws.REPLACING STAINLESS STEEL TOP CAPShould it become necessary to remove or replace thetop capping, the rivets can easily be removed by drillingout with a small electric drill using a No. 30 drill to insurenot increasing the size of the hole in either the cap or thewrapper. In reassembling, install 1/8" aluminum poprivets, Number 576860, in the holes throughout the stain-less steel cap and the cabinet wrapper.REFRIGERATING SYSTEMSAll compressors have fusite mounted terminals and aplug-on starting relay. The overload protector plugs onthe common fusite terminal.The compressor and motor are built as one unit andspring mounted inside a steel shell. Welded constructionmakes the unit hermetically sealed. The compressorembodies a reciprocating type pump, directlyconnected to the motor.An oil pump supplies oil to every moving part and liter-ally floods every bearing surface with oil to minimizefriction and insure quiet operation. The compressordome is four-point base mounted.CONDENSERThe condenser tubing is held to the inside of the cabinetwrapper or shell along the front, the back, by saddleclamps which are spot welded to the outer shell.Efficient heat transfer is obtained from the tube to theentire shell which is the condenser surface. By the nat-ural convection of the room air due to the absorption ofthe heat from the wrapper, an efficient cooling action isobtained and sufficient heat is removed from the hotcompressor refrigerant vapor to result in the liquidationof the refrigerant. During the initial pull down of a hotGENERAL OPERATIONS 11
