13. Installing front and rear cast baffles, heat plates.
NOTE: Grate frames and brick will slide forward and
backward to allow baffle to fit. Install front cast baffle
using two (2) 5/16 bolts, nuts & washers (7/16 wrench
will be needed). Place the side of the baffle that has
the two ribs against the front weld of the firebox. Do
not tighten bolts yet. Place the rear cast baffle to the
back of the firebox but do not attach the bolts at this
time.
14. Now slip the rear heat plate in behind the rear baffle.
Attach heat plate to the firebox by using two (2) 5/16
bolts, nuts & washers. First, line up the top holes and
tighten bolts. Secondly, line up the holes in the rear
baffle and the heat plate with the firebox and attach by
using two (2) 5/16 bolts, nuts & washers. Tighten all
four (4) bolts. NOTE: to reach rear bolts you may find
it easier to put your arm through the flue outlet rather
than to reach through the feed door.
15. Installing smoke damper rod to sliding smoke damper.
First, insert rod through hole above feed door and push
forward.
16. Next working through the flue hole behind furnace, line
up rod between the two posts on the sliding smoke
damper. Then line up the three (3) holes for cotter pin
insertion, this procedure will test your patience. It's
helpful to have a flashlight and another person posi-
tioning the rod.
