STEP 26 Cont: the damper handle rod. Insert the long end of the damper handle rod
through its drilling in the left stove end. Insert the shot end of the damper
actuator link. Align the linkage properly and check operation for binding
and/or stoppage.
STEP 27:
Install the damper handle stub. Place the damper in the updraft position.
While maintaining pressure on the damper handle rod from inside the
stove, slide the damper handle stub onto the opposite end of the handle rod
and align the damper stub with the open or updraft mark on the stove end.
Tighten the set screw in the handle stub with the 5/32” Allen wrench.
Move the damper handle from the full open (updraft) position to the full
closed and locked (catalytic burn) position. Linkage should move freely
until approaching the locked position. The damper should seat fully into
the fireback when locked.
If the damper does not move freely, correct by filling or grinding the
suspect parts. Do not bend or force any damper linkage parts. If the
damper does not lock, correct this deficiency by first insuring tight and
proper assembly. If the deficiency persists, consider replacement of the
tabs, clip, torsion bar, actuator link and/or the damper handle rod.
STEP 28:
Install the damper link access panel. Cement the
mating surface on the access panel as indicated in
Fig.C-12. Place the access panel against its mating
surface on the left air/wear plate and upper fireback,
rear portion first. Secure with 2 each, socket, flat head
machine screws (¼-20x ½”). Check the damper
operation, if binding or stoppage occurs, correct the
problem. Do not force the linkage.

STEP 29:
Install the catalyst access panel. Secure with 4 each, Phillips round head
machine screws (¼-20x5/8”).
STEP 30:
Install the flue collar. Position the flue collar for either top or rear exit
secure with 2 each, Phillips round head machine screws (¼-20x1”).
STEP 31:
Assemble and install the secondary inlet assembly. Holding the secondary
air probe and thermostat assembly with the probe facing away from you
and the mounting tab at 12 o’clock, the tab on the end of the thermostat
coil should be at 4 o’clock position, loosen the lock nuts on the probe shaft
and adjust the coil tab and the mounting tab to the 4 o’clock and 12
