Important:
These instructions will help you ser-
vice the unit. Instructions are for a person with
some mechanical ability and training. No attempt
has been made to describe all basic steps. For
example, how to loosen or tighten fasteners. Also
basic procedures such as cycling systems and
checking operation of the equipment are not fully
described since they are known to anyone who
does mechanical and service work. Do not attempt
to perform work beyond your ability or at which
you have no experience. If you need assistance,
call an authorized service center or contact COATS
directly, (800) 688-6359.
