Install 24 rubber bushings (10), equally spaced along length of sensing element (2).
CAUTION
When hand-shaping sensing element for installation, do not crush or bend element
excessively. The smallest allowable radius is 1 inch (15 cm). Excessive bending can
damage sensing element.
Make sure there is 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch (1 -2 cm) clearance between sensing element
and personnel heater exhaust tube. Failure to do this can lead to equipment damage
and inadvertent bottle discharge.
