DAMPER PLATE REMOVAL

1. Remove the existing damper plate from the rod by grinding off

the 3 welds. A disc grinder is recommended or a small Dremel

tool with a small diameter disc might be best in case the end

welds are close to the damper can walls (see Figure 2).

NOTE: Be careful not to damage the damper can walls and

the rod as it will remain in place to be used with the new

damper blade.

2. Grind welds off of rod as best and as much as possible. Be careful

not to damage or grind into the rod (see Figure 3).

INSTALLING THE NEW BLADE

NOTICE: FOR EASIER INSTALLATION ANOTHER

PERSON IS RECOMMENDED.

1. Holding the damper blade with the weights facing the right side

of the ﬁreplace (if standing in front of it), wiggle it up against

the rod as shown (see Figure 4).

NOTE: MAKE SURE THE 3 SQUARE CUT OUTS CLEAR ANY

WELD TAGS LEFT BEHIND ON THE ROD.

2. While holding the new damper blade up against the rod, insert

the 2 U-bolts from the opposite side of the weights (see Figure 4).

3. Holding the U-bolts in place install the cover plate over the U-

bolts then secure it with the spacer block, lock washers and nuts.

Hand tighten the nuts only at this point (see Figure 5, page 3).



TIGHTENING THE BLADE

Note: In the previous step the U-bolt nuts were only hand tightened.

1. Now lock open the damper blade by sliding and locking the

damper rod handle to the far left (see Figure 7). NOTE: PULL

THE DAMPER ROD FAR ENOUGH FORWARD SO THAT THE ROD

CLEARS THE "LOCKING CORNER" (see Figure 8). The damper

blade should be at a vertical position now. While holding it in

this position, center the damper blade on the damper can and

torque the 4 nuts tight.

2. Finally do a test trial. Close the damper by sliding the handle

to the far right and observe that the rod does not spin on the

U-bolts. If it does you will need to tighten the nuts further.
