3. Place the blower against the lower rear
wall of the firebox outer wrapper with the
exhaust port directed upward. The blower
will fit inside the back opening and be held
in position against the back wall by the
magnets (see Figure 25, page 19).
4. Be certain that all wire terminals are
securely attached to terminals on blower
motor and that the screw retaining the
green ground wire is tight.
5. Mount speed control box to switch bracket
by placing the plastic control shaft forward
through the opening in the switch bracket
(see Figure 26).
6. While supporting speed control, secure
control shaft with lock nut by pushing and
turning lock nut with pliers clockwise until
it is tight against front panel. Place control
knob provided on shaft.
7. Turn on power to duplex outlet if pre-
viously turned off per the warning in
column 2, page 19.
8. Plug in blower power cord.
a. If your firebox is installed as a free
-
standing unit with an accessory man-
tel, determine whether the power cord
will exit the left side or the right side of
the firebox. Route power cord through
exit hole and plug the power cord into
a wall receptacle near the firebox.
b. If your firebox installation is recessed
and/or pre-wired, plug the power cord
into the duplex outlet provided. Refer
to your firebox owner’s manual for
instructions on wiring the duplex outlet.
CAUTION: Never touch the
blower wheel while in operation.
9. Check to make sure that the power cord is
completely clear of the blower wheel and
that there are no other foreign objects in
blower wheel. Turn blower on and check for
operation. Turn blower off by turning knob
fully counterclockwise before continuing.
10. Peel off the backing paper and stick the
supplied wiring diagram decal on the
firebox bottom approximately 12" in front
of the blower (see Figure 27).

Model BKT Installation
Note:
The BKT blower is for application into
direct-vent models only. When installing the
BKT thermostatically-controlled blower, you
must first secure the wiring connections from
the thermal switch to the blower (if it has not
already been factory installed).
1. Attach green ground wire from power cord
to blower housing using screw provided
(see Figure 28) Tighten screws securely
with a Phillips screwdriver.
2. Connect wire harness and power cord
terminals. Connect the jumper wire to
the blower motor terminal to the terminal
of the thermal switch. Connect one wire
of the thermal switch and one wire to the
other remaining blower motor terminal.
Note:
The power cord outer insulation sleeve
may have to be stripped slightly to allow
enough wire length to reach and make all
connections. DO NOT trim excessive length
away. Just enable enough to make all con-
nections securely.
