Figure 98.192 Adjusting Thermostatic Switch6. If the pressure was more than the prescribed
value, tuin the adjusting screw counter-clockwise.7. Reinstall switch end plate and install switch in
face plate. Install face plate on evaporator assembly

is needed, repeat steps 3 thru 7 until the correct
pressure is reached.
REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION OF BLOWER
SWITCHDo not attempt to run a performance test with the
duct assembly and switch removed from the
evaporator assembly
- inaccurate readings will re-
sult. Always replace the switch and duct assemblies
before c+ecking the system performance.
