(Continued) (a) Insert the (2) filters into the cooling
unit as shown in the illustration.
NOTE:
Insert a clean air filter with it's knob
facing downwards, then slide it forward
and install the second filter in the same
manner.
(b) Assemble the rubber insulator on the plate.
CAUTION:
To prevent the cooling unit from leaking
water, pull the three rubber projections
from the other side of the plate to make
sure that the rubber insulator seals
properly against the plate.
(c) Install the plate on the cooling unit and secure with the (2) wing nuts.
CAUTION:
To prevent water leaks, verify that the
cooling unit and plate are fully secure
before tightening the wing nuts.
NOTE:
Before installing the plate on the
cooling unit, coat the rubber insulator
with water for easier assembly.
(d) Reassemble the Undercover.

1. Inspect Room Temperature Sensor.
A. Measure the sensor resistance.
Resistance Value at 77 5F
(25 5C)1700 +/± 85 W
NOTE:
Even slightly touching the sensor
may change the resistance value.
Be sure to hold the connector of
the sensor.
When measuring, the sensor
temperature must be the same as
the ambient temperature.
HINT:
As the temperature increases, the
resistance decreases.
