proceed to the roof and drop the rope (with weight on the end to make sure it goes all the way down) and
insert the liner(s) past the flexible portion, into the existing chimney [See FIGURE 5].
NOTE: Repeat this step for second liner on chimneys 9" and larger.

13. One installer should then return to the fireplace opening and pull the rope to guide the liner(s) into place
through the smoke shelf and the damper opening to a point 20" (508 mm) above the fireplace hearth
[See FIGURE 5]. It may be necessary for the person on the roof to turn the liner slightly to avoid mortar
chunks and misaligned tiles. The person below should wear leather gloves and Safety Glasses during this
process to avoid being cut and to safeguard eyes from flying debris.
CAUTION: WHEN USING FLEX ALUMINUM LINER, USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN STRETCHING
LINER AROUND OFFSETS SO AS NOT TO RUPTURE LINER.
