Blower Power Cord Routing
The Clydesdale 8491 ships from the factory with the
blower system’s power cord routed on the left side of
the insert. If your installation requires the cord on the
right side, you must remove the façade and
disassemble the ash lip assembly to access the wire
clips to change the position of the power cord.
1. Loosen Set Screw and remove Ash Lip Cover.
Remove the Façade as described on page 15.

3. Use a 1/2” socket, or wrench and remove the 4
bolts and washers securing the Ash Lip
Assembly to the body of the insert.

4. Use a Phillips head screwdriver to remove the
screws securing the wire loops on the left and
transfer everything to the right side ensuring you
place the loops in the equivalent locations
(arrows). A wire loop must be placed on the
screw closest to the corner to ensure the cord
does not rub on the blower housing. Do not
disconnect any wiring – there is more than
sufficient length to route the cord to the right over
the top of the blower speed control.

5. Re-attach the ash lip assembly to the front of the
insert. Ensure the cord is not touching the blower
housing and is routed through the space above
the mounting flange. Ensure the cord is not
pinched in any way. Re-attach the screw and
step bushing securing the air control to the
bracket. Ensure the air control moves freely. Re-
install the façade and then the ash lip cover.
