Sound Enclosure Lower Cavity Reversal
In the following procedure, certain steps require two people.
Required tools: 7/16” box or socket wrench
11/32” nut driver or socket wrench
(2) Needle-nose vice grips
1. Place a packing blanket or cardboard on the floor to prevent scratching the
exterior of the enclosure.
2. Tilt the enclosure over on its flat side. The intake and exhaust ports should not
be on the floor.
3. Reaching in through the projection port, attach and lock a needle nose vice grips
to the (2) spring ends. Remove the 7/16” nut and washer. Carefully lift the
spring hook off the bolt and let it slowly retract. Leave the vice grips on the
spring end to prevent it from retracting into the spring housing. Do this for both
left and right springs.

can hook the spring end over the threaded stud. Replace and tighten the 7/16”
washers and nuts of both assemblies.
Alternative to cavity reversal for opposite air flow (tools required: 7/16” wrench,
Phillips-head screwdriver, 11/32” open-end wrench). Remove fan assemblies, remove
fans and reinstall in reverse. On the side of the fan you will notice a directional arrow
for air flow.
