Wiring Diagram & Fuel
Anthracite coal is “hard coal”, mined primarily
in the northeast United States. Rice coal, as shown
at right, is typically described as coal having no di-
mension larger than 3/8”. Other size coal may cause
feeding problems, and is therefore not recommended
for use in your VF3000.
It is best to buy your supply of coal when the
temperature is above freezing. This is because many
dealers put kerosene or fuel oil on the truck box and
calcium on the coal to keep it from freezing while it
is being transported. The calcium can promote rust
and the oil may cause an odor depending on what
type is used.
It is best and most convenient to have a coal bin
inside and close to the boiler. The bin should have
drainage to allow the water to drain.
