Removal
1 Open the bypass by pulling the rod out.
2 Use a 3/8” wrench or nut driver to remove the bolt that secures the front air tube pin to the manifold. Keep the bolt and air tube pin for reinstallation.
3 Push up on the baffle slightly and slide the front air tube to the left until the end is clear of the manifold. Lower the right end of the tube and maneuver left end of the tube out of the manifold on the left side of the firebox.
4 Remove the baffle cap.
5 Repeat steps 1-3 for the third and fourth air tube.
6 Remove the second air tube in the same manner. NOTE: Once the second tube is removed, the front edge of the baffle is unsupported. Make sure to support it with your hand through the remainder of the removal process.
7 Gently slide the baffle board and blanket forward until it is free of the rear air tube. Lower the front edge of the baffle and fold the edges of the blanket inward.
8 Tilt the baffle and blanket to allow them to pass through the door opening and remove them from the firebox.
Replacement:
Reverse the steps above to replace the baffle. NOTE: Make sure that the fiber blanket is underneath the damper plate in the rear of the firebox when reassembling.
