Cleaning the blower damper (

continued)

 

Maintenance 

Reinstall the blower.  Be sure not to 
over-tighten any screws during the 
complete reassembly process. 

Checking the flapper for correct operation 

Disconnect power 

     To check the flapper for correct operation, insert a small diameter stiff 
wire through the squirrel cage until the flapper can be felt.  Gently push 
the flapper open and closed.  You should feel the free movement of the 
flapper and hear the tick of it shutting against the blower plate.
