ReCeIVING aND HaNDlING
Upon receiving dampers, check for both obvious and
hidden damage. If damage is found, record all necessary
information on the bill of lading and file a claim with
the final carrier. Check to be sure that all parts of the
shipment, including accessories, are accounted for.
Dampers must be kept dry and clean. Indoor storage
and protection from dirt, dust and the weather is highly
recommended. Do not store at temperatures in excess of
100°F(37ºC).

Installation, operation, and Maintenance Instructions
Pre-Installation Guidelines
The basic intent of a proper installation is to secure the volume control damper into the opening in such a
manner as to prevent distortion and disruption of damper operation. The following items will aid in completing
the damper installation in a timely and effective manner.
1) Check the schedules for proper damper locations within the building. Visually inspect the damper for
damage.
2) Lift or handle damper using sleeve or frame. Do not lift damper using
blades, linkage, actuators, or jackshafting. When handling multiple sections
assemblies, use sufficient support to evenly lift at each section mullion (see
drawing). Do not drag, step on, apply excessive bending, twisting, or racking.
3) Do not install screws in damper frame that will interfere with unexposed blade
linkage and prevent damper blades from opening and/or closing.
4) Damper must be installed into duct or opening square and free of twist or
other misalignment. Damper must not be squeezed or stretched into duct or
opening. Out of square, racked, twisted or misaligned installations can cause
excessive leakage and/or torque requirements to exceed damper/actuator
design.
5) Damper and actuator must be kept clean, dry and protected from dirt, dust and other foreign materials prior
to and after installation. Examples of such foreign materials include but are not limited to:
a) Mortar dust
b) Drywall dust
c) Firesafing materials
d) Wall texture
e) Paint overspray
6) Damper should be sufficiently covered as to prevent overspray if wall texturing or spray painting will be
performed within 5 feet (1.50m) of the damper. Excessive dirt or foreign material deposits on damper can
cause excessive leakage and/or torque requirements to exceed damper/actuator design.
7) ACCESS: Suitable access (actuators maintenance, etc.) must be provided for damper inspection and
servicing. Where it is not possible to achieve sufficient size access, it will be necessary to install a
removable section of duct.
