Removal and Replacement
1) Turn off the main power supply to the furnace.
2) Loosen and remove the thumbnuts securing the blower / ipper assembly to the air tube.
3) Disconnect the electrical wire from the blower.
4) Remove the ipper assembly from the blower by removing the four bolts. This will require a 7/16 inch
wrench.
5) Attach the existing ipper assembly to the new blower.
6) Rewire the electrical wire to the blower. Contact a licensed electrician if you have any questions.
7) Securely fasten the blower back to the air tube ensuring that there are no air leaks.
THE FLIPPER MUST OPERATE PERFECTLY OR PROBLEMS QUICKLY ARISE.
If the ipper is unable to open and close freely, or remains partially open or partially closed, the furnace will
starve for air resulting in a smoldering re instead of an intense re. More smoke and creosote is the result. If
the ipper is not operating correctly, it causes a snowball effect of problems. MAINTAIN THE FLIPPER!
Air Box(s)
Principle
The air box is designed to distribute the appropriate percentage
of air from the blower(s), into different areas of the rebox so the
re will burn efciently and clean.
Maintenance / Result
Check for ashes in the air box. If ashes are in the air box,
they may interfere with the opening and closing of the ipper.
If ashes cover the air outlets, less air will get into the rebox.
When raking ashes, be careful not to pull the ashes over
or into the air box/(s). Be certain the ashes are cold and
extinguished before attempting to remove ashes from the
air box.
To maintain the air box, remove the blower / ipper assembly
and clean the ashes out of the air box with a mini-vacuum that is made for ashes,
metal brush or metal scraper. You may need to loosen up hard packed
ashes. Securely fasten the blower / ipper assembly back onto
the large air tube ensuring there are no air leaks.
