Ash Out Position
Fig. 18
Removing Ash While Unit Is Burning:
CAUTION: ASH PAN HANDLE WILL BE HOT,
WEAR GLOVES.
Make note of the position of the Feed Adjuster
knob so it can be returned to the same position when
you are nished removing the ashes.
Turn the Feed Adjuster knob to "Ash Out",
this is the ash removal setting, Fig 18. This setting
turns off the Combustion Blower and Feeder Motor
but does not turn off Draft Motor. Now the ash door
can be opened with minimal exhaust leakage. If ash
removal takes more than 4 minutes, the Distribution
Blower will start to cycle up and down to indicate
the Feed Adjuster knob was left in the "Ash Out"
position. This is not a problem if you remember to
return the Feed Adjuster to its previous setting when
completed. If left in the "Ash Out" position, the
re will burn out.
If the feed adjuster is left in
the "Ash Out" position the
re will burn out.
DAILY MAINTENANCE
Ash Removal
With each hopper of coal that is burned, approxi-
mately one ashpan full of ashes must be removed.
(g. 19) It may take from one to four days for the ash
pan to get full, depending on the burn rate.
Failure to remove the ashes will result in a
blocked grate and the re will not burn properly.
Remember, the ashpan will be hot, so always wear
protective gloves.
Ash Removal Setting:
The "Ash Out" position on the feed adjuster knob
is for ash removal (g. 18). This position stops the
Combustion Blower, the Feeder Motor, and slows the
Distribution Blower so the doors can be opened. This
is to limit exhaust fumes from leaving the unit.
Don't forget to turn knob back to previous feed
number setting after completion of ash removal.
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight t-
ting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a
noncombustible oor or on the ground, well away from all
combustible materials, pending nal disposal. If ashes are
disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed,
they should be retained in the closed container until all cinders
have thoroughly cooled.
