possible to the butt splices (21).
(6) Remove screws (15) and nuts (16) and remove blower unit.
INSPECTION
(1) Inspect heater box components for superficial damage and defects. A trace of crystal deposit left by
evaporated coolant often indicates a potential leak or a weak joint. If any traces or deposits are noticed,
test the components as detailed under Heater Core and Plumbing Repair following.
(2) Check that the movement of diverter arm (23) is smooth and unobstructed and that the heater core is
solidly attached to the heater box. Tighten the attaching screws if necessary.

the air diffusers (19 or 20) are damaged, notify Direct Support Level for repair.
NOTE
Use flexible hose (64 - 2920X) and cut to appropriate length when replacing Items (7, 8, and 18).
(4) Inspect the blower unit. Check that blower wheels and housings do not rub against one another.
Rubbing caused by minor damage to the housing may be eliminated by straightening dents or bends in
housing walls.

damage that could cause leaks must be replaced.
