RPM Limiter Installation
1. Place the RPM limiter damper on the front of the RPM limiter mounting bracket (Figure 12-24, Page 12-24).
2. Place the RPM limiter on the damper squarely so that RPM limiter fits tightly against the damper.
3. Place the band over the RPM limiter and align the holes. Place the brown wire ring connector onto the
flange head bolt and secure the left side of the band. Use another flange head bolt to secure the other
side of the band. Make sure the band holds the RPM limiter securely in place. Tighten fasteners to 7 ft-
