Rear Blower Installation - Lopi Liberty Owner's Manual

4. Attach the fiberglass tape to all four top edges of the air boot. There is a seam in the bottom
segment of the air boot. Position the air boot over the knock-out so this seam is facing the rear.
Attach the air boot to the bottom of the stove with two of the included sheet metal screws.
5. Right the stove and position it in its final position. Mark the location where the air boot contacts
the floor. Attach fiberglass tape to the bottom of the air boot so it covers all four edges of the air
boot, and telescope the air boot down until it makes contact with the floor. Press against the air
boot so it seals against the floor.
6. The two holes on the sides of the air boot are used to hold for a screw that keeps the two
telescoping segments of the air boot from moving. Use the included 9/64" drill bit to drill a hole
through the holes and into the top segment of the air boot. Then screw the two remaining sheet
metal screws into these holes. Use touch-up paint to remove scratches from the outside air boot.
7. The outside air boot includes several cover plates. Use the cover plate that is 6 1/2" wide. The
rest may be discarded. Remove the two screws that hold the piece that fits over the air control
rod in place (see the illustration on the previous page under #3). Slide the air control plate in
place underneath the air control rod. Replace the piece removed from the cover plate. The cover
plate should form an air-tight seal against the air control portion of the stove.

EAR LOWER NSTALLATION
The rear blower increases the natural convection of the stove by pushing air through the convection
chamber of the stove and causing the heated air to exit through the vents along the top of the stove.
Operating instructions are on page 20. The directions below detail its installation.
1. Feed the two wires from the thermodisk assembly through the space between the stove and rear
heat shield. Insert the thermodisk assembly into this space until the top portion hooks the top
edge of the rear heat shield (see the illustration below). The thermodisk should fit tight in the
channel. If it does not, remove it and bend the metal support down to insure a snug fit.
2. Slide the wire clip over the rear heat shield. Run the two wires from the thermodisk assembly
through the wire clip and pull the slack wire out of the stove. The wires coming from the
thermodisk assembly must not have any slack Ð these wires may cause a short if the wires come
in contact with the firebox. Remove enough slack to eliminate the wires rubbing on the firebox,
but do not tighten so as to dislodge the thermodisk assembly.
3. Route the two yellow wires from the blower box through the hole in the back of the blower box
(the wires must not exit out of the top). Connect these wires to the two wires from the
thermodisk assembly (orientation does not matter).
4. Place the blower box near the bottom rear of the stove and push any slack wire into the blower
box so that when the blower box is attached the excess wire will not contact the stove. Attach
the blower box to the stove with the three screws included with the blower kit (use a 3/8"
nutdriver). You may wish to pre-thread the holes in the back of the stove prior to putting the
blower box in place.
