Replacing fan assemblies
Attaching the upward deflector
The upward deflector is placed between the fan assembly handle and the fan assembly faceplate. To install the upward deflector to each
fan assembly, complete the following steps:
1. Using a Phillips screwdriver, detach the fan assembly faceplate by removing the three screws from each side of the fan
assembly. Refer to Figure 161 on page 269.
2. If present, remove and discard the tape that stabilizes louvers in some fan assembly models. When present, the tape is located
on the right and left sides of the fan assembly.

inside of the fan assembly faceplate.
NOTE
