Description
Where to Use
ŸFor Outside Use Only.
(Any outside safe area of operations)
Warning
ŸImproper Installation, adjustment, alteration, service, maintenance or any mistake may result in serious
accident, damages or personal injury.
ŸRead how to Install, Assemble & operate before installing and operating.
ŸIgnorance to safety instructions may cause fire or explosion that creates many kind of risks.

Safety Instructions
ŸSafety should be always in the first priority.
ŸUse this Propane Forge after reading these entire instructions for the proper and safe
operation.
ŸAlways use this Propane Forge on a hard level non-combustible surface. This Propane Forge
is for outdoor use only. Do not use it where any kind of damage can happen. Keep fire
extinguisher nearby.
ŸThis Propane Forge is for adult use only. Keep this away from children.
ŸUse fire retardant gloves & blacksmith tong for the operation with the work-piece.
ŸWear appropriate clothes such as a leather apron. Wear goggles while watching fire of the
forge.
ŸNever leave a hot forge unattended, even if the fuel is shut off and be cautious of high
temperature of the forge parts immediately after forging session.
ŸInspect your propane cylinder (especially the valve), your regulator (especially the connector
to the cylinder and its O-ring) and your burner (especially the hose). For any signs of problems
do not install or operate.
ŸInstall the regulator by hand, without tools, until the nut (left-hand thread) is fully seated.
Immediately tighten the nut with a wrench. Do not over tighten the nut, as this will only ruin the
connectors.
ŸAlways shut down the forge by turning off the fuel at the cylinder, then backing off the regulator
knob (as a safety precaution.)
ŸOnce, Forging Session is finished, Remove the Regulator from the cylinder & take the cylinder
in outside area.
ŸAllow the forge to cool for at least half an hour before you leave the area. This is to prevent
accidental fires from going undetected.

ŸSurface Preparation by placing Refractory Fire Brick, Castable or Concrete.
Ÿ
ŸPlace Forge over the plain surface. You may prepare it by placing refractory bricks or by using castable
cement which can withstand high temperatures.
Unboxing
ŸUnwrap all the mentioned parts as per above list.
Assembly Instructions

ŸConnect the Pre-Assembled Burner Part A &Part B with Part C (Which is Hose). Connect one end of
hose with the Burner inlet pipe and other end with the Part E (Gas Pressure Regulator). Use clamps for
proper tightening of hose at both end.
ŸAt the top of the Part B you can see wing nut with washer which can be rotated clockwise and anti-
clockwise direction to regulate the air flow pressure while firing.
ŸConnect the above system of Part A& B at the top of the Forge with the help of the coupling and
adjustable screws. Please make sure that burner's nozzle at end do not cross over inside insulation of
forge.
ŸPlace Part D (Bricks) at the bottom of the Forge and over the ceramic fibre lining.

www.simondstore.com Page 7 of 13
ŸConnect Gas regulator with the propane Cylinder. Don't forget that pressure regulator has left thread. Check
that there is no loose fitting of parts which may lead to gas leakage.
ŸLight up the forge by using lighter at the opening of the burner inside the forge body.
ŸNow Forge is ready for the firing.
Why this gap filling is necessary?
ŸTo Prevent the heat loss.
ŸHeat Loss damage this area of
furnace.

Heat Guard Application Instruction
Heat Guard Refractory Coating:
Heat guard Refractory Coating is water based refractory coatings. This coating is used for coating of
ceramic fibre lining to protect them against heat, flue gases and fumes. It prevents heat loss. It reflects
radiant heat to the hot zone from the insulation surface that reduces the energy needed to achieve the target
temperature thus it saves fuel. Hence it considerably prolongs the life of refractory.
Temperature Grade: 3270°F (1800°C)
Mixing:
Mix Dry Heat Guard Powder; add 50% of clean tap water to it for brushing applications.
Application:
Apply 1.5mm to 2 mm thick Heat Guard coating over refractory lining with the help of Brush.
Precaution:
After coating the area with Heat Guard coating, the first firing should be carried out slowly to avoid
development of any surface cracks or other defects due to the moisture content in the coating material.
Curing:
The applied Heat Guard coating should be air dried for minimum 24 hours and then slowly raise the
temperature up to 1112°F by increasing temperature 68 to 77°F / hr. and then reach to operating
temperature at around 122°F / hour. For large coating thickness adequate air dying is required to avoid
cracks the Heat Guard coating.

Operating Instructions
1. Open the wing nut slightly at the top of PART B.
2. Open the outlet valve of propane gas cylinder. So gas will be flow though Regulator.
3. Regulator has monometer which shows gas flow rate.
4. Rotate knob of gas Regulator clockwise direction to open the gas flow. Set gas flow as per desired flame.
5. For Double Burner: One burner is directly connected & another burner has a gas inlet valve. Kindly close
this gas inlet valve. After ignition of first burner then open the gas inlet valve for firing of second burner (If
required).
6. Light up the Forge by using Lighter at the opening of the burner inside the Forge body.
7. Now adjust the gas flow using inlet valve and air flow using the wing nut to get the complete combustion of
gas and desired flame intensity.
8. Place the iron work-piece to be forged, inside the forge and under the flame using tong.
9. Remove work-piece once it is red hot and ready for shaping with the help of tong.
10. Close the gas outlet valve of the propane cylinder and wait until fire in the forge stops.
11. Remove the propane cylinder connections to the forge and place it away from forge.
12. Allow Forge to cool down to normal temperature before transferring it to other place (if required).
Burner Troubleshooting Solution
We found that many time issues occur because of burner chocking and
improper flame output. These kind of issues arise due to clogging of burner orifice. We
have worked on these issues and resolved it by improving design of burner. So you can
clean orifice or you can replace it by new one. So youdon't need to worry when you buy
Forge from Simond Store.
What problems you may face in “PROPANE GAS BURNER?”
ŸNo Flame or Low Flame
ŸLow temperature

Our Burner includes following kit:
1. Burner set
2. Orifice : One attached with each individual burners& two extra
Orifice with the burner set.
3. T Spanner : It is a tool for fittings of orifice.
4. Spanner Guide Pipe : It is an orifice mounting guide pipe thru which the
T Spanner can reach to the proper position to replace
orifice very easily.
Burner Orifice Front Side Orifice Back Side
T Spanner Spanner Guide Pipe
Troubleshooting:
Step-1: Insert Spanner Guide Pipe into the burner & rotate clockwise or anti-
clockwise to get it fixed as shown in below diagram.
Step-2: Insert T Spanner thru the Spanner Guide Pipe. When T spanner touches the
orifice, slightly rotate the T Spanner so that it fits into the Orifice head.
Step 3: Rotate T Spanner anti-clockwise to remove Orifice from the burner.
Step 4: Remove carbon debris inside the gas inlet pipe by using compressed air.
Step 5: Check orifice hole, if chocked try to clean it by compressed air or replace it by
new orifice.
Step 6: Installing new orifice into the burner
a) Follow Step 1 as above instruction.
b) Place the new orifice into the T Spanner slot.
c) Insert orifice containing T Spanner thru the Spanner Guide Pipe. When it
touches the horizontal pipe inside the burner, then slowly rotate T Spanner
clockwise and fit the orifice.
Now burner is ready for firing.
