STEP 3
LOCATE HOOD STRAPS & FLAME BAFFLE
This Section Applies to Between Jambs (Brackets Under Lintel) Shutters Only:
(Skip to Step #4 if Shutter is “face mounted” i.e., brackets above lintel.)
If the brackets are “under lintel”, the mounting holes for the hood straps and ame bae must be drilled prior to erecting the barrel and curtain assembly. Temporarily attach
the brackets to the guides. (Refer to Figure 6A). Position each hood strap tightly against and ush with the front and bottom of each bracket as shown in Figure #6A. The back
of the hood strap should loop over the top and back side of the guide.
NOTE: A 1” TO 11/2” SPACE EXISTS BETWEEN THE TOP OF THE BRACKET AND THE BOTTOM OF THE LINTEL, SINCE FIRESTAR SHUTTERS ARE DESIGNED TO
EXPAND UPWARD SEE INSTALLATION DRAWING FOR EXACT DIMENSION.
Clamp the hood straps to the guides temporarily and use the straps as a template to scribe the location of the mounting holes under the lintel. Position the ame bae (if
provided) under the lintel as shown in Figure #6B with the hinge to the back and centered between the hood straps. A clearance of 1/8” should be held from edge of the
bae to the inside face of the hood straps (see Figure #6B). Check to see that the bae swings down freely and also will catch on the ame bae fuse (attached to the front
hood) which supports it. Mark the position under the lintel for three equidistant holes through the hinge. Remove the ame bae, hood straps, and brackets and drill the
marked holes in the lintel.
