Removal and Replacement
1) Turn off the main power supply to the furnace.
2) Loosen and remove the thumbnuts securing the blower / flipper assembly to the air tube.
3) Disconnect the electrical wire from the blower.
4) Remove the flipper assembly from the blower by removing the four bolts. This will require a 7/16 inch
wrench.
5) Attach the existing flipper assembly to the new blower.
6) Rewire the electrical wire to the blower.
contact a licensed electrician if you have any questions.
7) Securely fasten the blower back to the air tube ensuring that there are no air leaks.
the FLiPPer Must OPerate PerFectLY Or PrOBLeMs QuicKLY arise.
If the flipper is unable to open and close freely, or remains partially open or partially closed, the furnace will
starve for air resulting in a smoldering fire instead of an intense fire. More smoke and creosote is the result. If
the flipper is not operating correctly, it causes a snowball effect of problems.
Maintain the FLiPPer!
Air Box
Principle
The air box is designed to distribute the appropriate percentage
of air from the blower, into different areas of the firebox so the
fire will burn efficiently and clean.
Maintenance / Result
Check for ashes in the air box. If ashes are in the air box,
they may interfere with the opening and closing of the flipper.
If ashes cover the air outlets, less air will get into the firebox.
When raking ashes, be careful not to pull the ashes over or into
the air box.
Be certain the ashes are cold before attempting
to remove ashes from the air box.
To maintain the air box, remove the blower / flipper assembly
and clean the ashes out of the air box with a mini-vacuum,
brush or your hand. You may need to loosen up hard packed
ashes. Securely fasten the blower / flipper assembly back onto
the large air tube ensuring there are no air leaks.
nOte:
On the 200 SSRII the airbox sits slightly over the first grate.
