Position the blower all the way to the rear and center in the
fireplace. Pull the blower forward 1/8" to 1/4" from the back
wall of the fireplace (Figure 3). Plug the blower cord into the
blower receptacle FAN on the junction box. Attach the
ground wire to the bottom of the junction box or to a good
accessible metal grounded source. Note: You can attach
this to the firebox leg.

lower right front corner, with the stem sticking out of the

ing location on the base pan or valve bracket for
mounting this speed control.

NOTE: The weld stud is located either on the lower right
side or the bottom of the combustion box.

NOTE: THE SWITCH/BRACKET ASSEMBLY MUST BE
INSTALLED SO THAT THE SENSOR SWITCH IS TO-
WARDS THE TOP OF THE UNIT.
