HEATER
Glass inductor
The glass inductor is activated either by the button switch on the inductor, or by pressing the
pneumatic foot-pedal. The
first switch which is activated has priority. The AUTO mode is particularly recommended for
removing windows.
Removing a window:
1. Remove a reveal molding, if applicable. Some windows have encapsulated moldings that cannot
be removed. Encap- sulated windows can also be removed without damage since the HOT
INDUCTION HEATERonly heats metal. Some windows have metal moldings, which need to be
removed prior to applying heat with the device. The HOT INDUCTION HEATERwill heat the metal
nearest to the Glass inductor or other heating heads. If the metal trim cannot be removed, it will be
necessary to heat the pinch weld from inside the vehicle.
2. Although not always necessary, it is recommended that the interior trim to be removed from the
vehicle to minimize the possibility of burning the trim. Removal of the interior trim also exposes any
additional hardware such as clips and studs that may be holding the window in place. Such hardware
will need to be released prior to the removal process. Locating the position of the urethane bead is
also easier with the interior trim removed.
3. Disconnect antennas and defroster grids.
4. To prevent scratches to the painted surface that could be caused by wooden or plastic wedges,
place a layer of mas- king tape around the painted surface as close as possible to the glass or
molding.
5. Place a clean layer of masking tape over the pole pieces of the Glass inductor to prevent
scratching the glass as the Glass inductor is moved back and forward over the glass. Replace the
masking tape for every new glass to be removed.
6. Clean the glass thoroughly before starting the removal process.
7. Always start the removal process near the area of the vehicle where the repair is to be made. The
greatest risk of paint damage by the wedges is at the starting point of the glass removal due to the
difficulty of getting the first wedge in place. It's better to start from a corner if possible and progress
around the window towards the undamaged area of the vehicle.
8. Ideally the Glass inductor should be placed directly on top of the urethane for better window
removal. However, some vehicles have narrow pinch welds that cause the Glass inductor to be too
close to the painted surface, putting unneces- sary heat into the area possibly burning the paint. In
some case a damp towel or heat sink compound may need to be applied to absorb the heat being put
into the painted surface (see illustrations). If possible, keep the heating attachment at least 1 inch
away from the edge of the painted surface.
