FIG. 7)
1.
Be sure the AOBD is correctl
sized to the air duct.
2.
Select an AOBD location that is at least three feet from
the furnace plenum.
3.
Cut a three-in.
76 mm
openin
in one side of the air
duct at the location selected. Be sure the openin
is cut
full
to the top and bottom air duct seams.
4.
Slide the AOBD into the air duct. Be sure the electric
actuator is mounted toward the top of the air duct.
5.
For small air duct sizes
20 x 8 in. 18 x 10 in, 16 x 12 in.
and smaller
, secure the AOBD mountin
plate to the air
duct with sheet metal screws provided.

For lar
e air duct sizes
20 x 8 in, 18 x 10 in., and 16 x
12 in. and lar
er
, secure the mountin
plate to the air
duct with the sheet metal screws provided. Then secure
the back of the AOBD to the air duct. If the back of the
AOBD cannot be reached, install two mountin
tracks.
