FIGURE 13 - 5 - - THERMOSTATICALLY OPERATED AIR SHUTTER UNIT
The carburetor de - icer unit is connected to the scroll with a flexible hose positioned so that
heated air is forced up into the heat baffles surrounding the carburetor.
When the shutters
are closed,
more warm air
is forced into the de - icer -- as the shutters open wider, a decreasing amount of air is
directed to the unit.
Thermostatic shutter units are adjusted in the factory,
however, slight readjustment may have
to
be made to suit local weather conditions. A turnbuckle is provided in the linkage for adjustment of
shutters. To adjust, loosen locknut then move turnbuckle to reposition angle of shutters. Adjustment
is made on cold engine.
