Cleaning the blower damper
The S4868P uses an air delivery system that draws unburned gases in with the
fresh air stream and pushes it back into the hot coals of the burning fire. Time, burning
green wood or overloading your furnace so that it is in the off cycle for long periods of
time, may cause the blower flapper to become dirty and hang up or stick closed. Use
the following tools and process for cleaning the blower flapper.
Tools Required
5/16” socket or nut driver
Utility knife
Wire brush
High temperature caulk
WD-40 or equivalent
High temperature grease
Carefully remove
3-5/16” self tapping
screws that retain
the blower to the
blower plate.
Position blower to the
side. Using a utility or
putty knife, remove the
caulk surrounding the
blower plate.

Notice: A new blower plate revi-
sion has significantly reduced

in most instances.
