Assembly and Positioning

FITTING THE CASTORS

WARNING The radiator must only be operated with the wheels and castors fitted and in the upright position.

The castors must be fitted to the control panel and between the last and second last fin on the opposite end, as shown in Fig.1.

To fit the castors, turn the radiator upside down on a carpet or other soft surface to avoid damage WARNING : THE RADIATOR IS HEAVY – ENSURE THAT IT IS SUPPORTED TO PREVENT IT FROM TOPPLING. Ask a second person to help with this if necessary.

Locate the wire clamp (A) and remove the winged nut (C). Insert the non threaded end of the wire clamp into one of the holes in the castor plate (B) as shown. Feed the threaded end of the wire clamp between the last and second last column fins ensuring the wire clamp wraps around the column body (sump). some manipulation of the plate and clamp will be required. The threaded end should then be passed through the castor plate and secured using the wing nut.

To fit the castor to the control end, position the castor plate in position and secure using the wing bolts (D). there are guides to ensure the correct positioning and orientation of the caster plate.

Return the radiator to the correct orientation so it rests on the castors. The product is now ready for use.
