Maximum flue draft shall not exceed -.06 inches of water column. Exceeding maximum draft
will result in an out of control burn.
Make sure boiler room is large enough for adequate combustion air. If the room is too small,
an outside air vent must be used.
All control and electrical covers shall be installed before being energized. Do not remove
covers for service or maintenance unless power supply has been shut off. This could be done
with the supply breaker or by removing the fuse. Test with multimeter to ensure no voltage is
present.
Fill hopper using a bucket or shovel, bags can be dumped directly into hopper if bags are not
water logged. Care should be taken when filling hopper, safety glasses and gloves are
recommended when doing so. Do not overfill hopper.
A carbon monoxide detector has been supplied with your boiler. You must plug it in.
THE BURNING OF ALL FOSSIL FUELS GENERATES CARBON MONOXIDE GASES. CARBON MONOXIDE
GASES ARE TOXIC. CAN CAUSE DIZZENESS, FATGUE, NAUSIA AND DEATH.
To prevent toxic carbon monoxide gases from entering the home or building certain precautions must
be taken.
Ash Tubs must be emptied on a regular basis to prevent ashes from overflowing into the
ashpit area of the boiler. Excessive ash accumulation may obstruct air flow to chimney,
preventing gases to be drawn up the chimney.
Ashes should be collected in a steel container inside the boiler. When container is full it
should be moved outdoors or place on a noncombustible surface.
“Caution” ash tub will be HOT. Gloves will be necessary to remove ash tub from boiler.
Before removing ash tub, turn power to the off position, open ash door. Using a good
pair of gloves remove full ash tub, place tub on a noncombustible surface. Slide an
empty into boiler and turn power switch on.
Other waste shall not be placed or stored in ash containers.
Disposal of ashes: Ashes should be collected in a metal container. When container is
full it should be removed from the boiler and put on a noncombustible surface or the
ground well away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal. If ashes are
disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should remain in the
container until all cinders have cooled thoroughly cooled.
Fire Door and Ash Door must be closed at all times during operation.
Hopper: It is necessary to keep some coal in the hopper while boiler is in operation.
Fuel: Burn Rice or Buck wheat Anthracite coal only.
