4. FLEXIBLE TUBE INSTALLATION
The flexible exhaust tube contains an inside rigid
pipe. To allow appropriate flexibility for assembly,
make sure that the rigid pipe is concentric to the
flexible part.
To maintain the pipe centered at the time of
installation, cardboard spacers must be inserted
at four places at equal distance around tubing
(Fig. 3). These spacers may be left in place and
will deteriorate over time.
