NOTE: When the damper is adjusted up, more air is delivered to the lower tubes; when adjusted down, more air is delivered to upper tubes.

When single-shooting with a double-shoot plenum (only top or bottom tubes active), adjust damper to completely block air flow to inactive tubes.

In true double-shoot (both top and bottom tubes carrying product), set fan speed for higher rate product; then adjust damper to reduce air flow to lower rate product tubes.
