Model BKT Installation
Note: When installing BKT thermostati-
cally controlled blower, you must
first
secure
thermal switch bracket to blower if it has not
already been factory installed.
1. Place green ground wire with ring ter-
minal between bottom hole on thermal
switch bracket and top ear hole on blower
assembly. Insert Phillips screw into all
three pieces and tighten securely (see
Figure 29, page 19).
2. Connect wire harness and power cord ter-
minals. Connect blue jumper wire to blower
motor terminal and right side terminal of
thermal switch. Connect black wire to left
side of thermal switch and white wire to
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. Enable just enough to make all con-
nections securely.
9. Check to make sure that power cord is
completely clear of 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 con-
tinuing.
10. Peel off backing paper and stick supplied
wiring diagram decal on
firebox
bottom
approximately 12" in front of blower (see
Figure 28).
