Step 2. Notice the blower operating LED status. Confirm that the LED is off.
Step 3. Loosen the two thumbscrews at the bottom of the blower module.
Step 4. Grasp the module by the handle and pull it towards you.
Step 5. Slide the module completely out of the housing and set on a solid surface.
NOTE The blower module is not very heavy, but it is long and bulky.
Replacing the Blower Module
Step 1. Grasp the blower handle while supporting the rear of the blower and insert it into the blower
housing.
Step 2. The connectors are “blind mate connectors” with two guide pins. This allows you to simply slide the
unit in and tighten the thumbscrews.
Step 3. The fan should start turning when the module is connected.
Step 4. Attach the blower bezel previously removed.
NOTE Be careful not to drop the blower as this will cause misalignment of the metal housing.
