7. Connect another 90° conduit connector to the other end of the grey flex conduit and connect that to
the white junction box on the leg gusset as shown in the Figure 2I, then feed the shielded wire down
the EMT conduit forward to the “T” junction box. Then feed shielded wire through the black flex
conduit and connect conduit to the Moisture Manager control box.
8. To mount the plenum thermocouple, knock out one of the prepunched wholes in either the front or
rear column end panels. Be sure to knock out a hole for the plenum and not the grain column.
