1. Attach the power cord to blower motor by
firmly pushing two female terminals at end
of power cord onto two spade terminals
on blower motor (see Figure 11).

with a phillips screwdriver.
3. Place blower against lower rear wall of
firebox outer wrapper with exhaust port di-
rected upward. Depending on your model,
you may have to carefully route the blower
assembly past controls and brackets and
position blower inside back opening. The
blower will be held in position against the

securely attached to terminals on blower
motor and that the screw retaining the
green ground wire is tight.

firebox face and hearth pan flange, then
down until seated onto lower flange of lou-
ver opening (see Figure 12, page 14).

tic control shaft through bottom hole on
speed control bracket. Top screw head
on control box will fit inside top hole on
bracket (see Figure 12 on page 14). Se-
cure speed control to bracket with lock nut
by pushing and turning lock nut with pliers
clockwise until it is tight against bracket.
7. Remove knockout plug from louver panel
by pressing top and bottom retaining
clips.
8. Place louver panel, louvers pointing up,
back into framed opening. Align control shaft
with rectangular opening by sliding control
bracket along flange (see Figure 12 on page
14).

ing by gently pressing along ends until

place.

shaft (see Figure 12).

pletely clear of blower wheel and there are
no foreign objects in blower wheel. Also,
double check all wire leads and make
sure wire routing is not pinched or in a
precarious position. Correct accordingly.
Caution: never touch blow-
er wheel while in operation.
