Select a location that will save the most work and time in moving ductwork about in your shop. A table that matches the height of the bottom head base plate of the Corner Cadet is a must in helping to position the duct sections into the Corner Cadet, especially if only one person may be handling the duct.

The unit is designed so that the base plate of the head is at the operator's foot level. The operator can slide the duct into the Corner Cadet without having to lift it, saving the operator time and energy, and reducing the possibility of damage to the duct with less handling.
CORNER CADET A. INSULATED DUCT If a duct is insulated, before positioning the duct joint into the Corner Cadet, ensure there are no insulation pins that will interfere with the corner insertion process. Refer to the figure below for a detailed illustration of the area that should be free of insulation pins.

CORNER CADET Figure 4-3 Air Valve Station F. PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE A periodic inspection schedule should be established and maintained. The periodic inspection criteria should meet the minimum requirements necessary to ensure safe reliable service under the equipment’s operating conditions. It should be modified as required to meet varying operating and environmental conditions.
This section contains troubleshooting information to assist in locating and correcting operating troubles which may develop in the Corner Cadet. Each malfunction for an individual component, unit or system, is followed by a list of tests or inspections which will help the technician to determine probable causes and corrective action to take.
Due to a loss of the program or replacement of the PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) the E-Prom which controls the Corner Cadet may have to be reloaded into the PLC. Use the directional arrow pad (A), located on the face of the PLC, to scroll between settings. The following is the recommended procedure.
