TJERNLUND DB-2 DUCT BOOSTER 8504030 REV B 0900, DUCT BOOSTER DB-2 Owner's Instructions Manual

MAINTENANCE

If installed on a forced warm air or cooling system where filters are properly installed and
maintained no cleaning of the DUCT BOOSTER® blower wheel should be required.

If installed on a gravity warm air heating system which does not include filters, the DUCT
BOOSTER® should be removed from the duct and cleaned at the start of each heating
season. The motor is permanently lubricated so no oiling is necessary. The DUCT
BOOSTER® motor normally runs hot to the touch.
