3.Place the blower against the lower rear wall of the firebox outer wrapper with the exhaust port directed upward. The blower will fit inside the back opening and be held in position against the back wall by the magnets (see Figure 25).
4.Be certain that all wire terminals are securely attached to ter- minals on blower motor and that the screw retaining the green ground wire is tight.
5.Mount speed control box to switch bracket by placing the plastic control shaft forward through the opening in the switch bracket (see Figure 26).
6.While supporting speed control, secure control shaft with lock nut by pushing and turning lock nut with pliers clockwise until it is tight against front panel. Place control knob provided on shaft.
7.Turn on power to duplex outlet if previously turned off per the warning in column 2, page 14.

Model BKT Installation
Note: When installing the BKT
1. Place the green ground wire with ring terminal between the bottom hole on the thermal switch bracket and the top ear hole on the blower assembly. Insert the Phillips screw into all three pieces and tighten securely (see Figure 28, page 16).
2. Connect wire harness and power cord terminals. Connect the blue jumper wire to the blower motor terminal and the right side terminal of the thermal switch. Connect the black wire to the left side of the thermal switch and the white wire to the 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. Just enable enough to make all connections securely.
