DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Distribution Flaps: A main flap and a fresh air flap control the flow of air to the distribution outlets in the casing. The
main flap is a rotating segment that controls the flow to the windscreen/side window and footwell outlets. The fresh
air flap is a hinged door that controls the flow to the face level outlets. The hinge of each flap is connected to a common
lever mechanism on the RH side of the casing. A control cable is installed between the mechanism and the distribution
knob on the control panel to operate the flaps together. Turning the distribution knob turns the flaps to direct air
through the corresponding outlets in the casing.
