5.3.2 Loading fuel in an empty store space with a rotary agitator
NOTICE
Filling an empty store space with a rotary agitator:
With the store space completely empty or almost empty, the rotary agitator arms /
spring blades are fully extended. If the rotary agitator arms / spring blades are
covered in this position with a large amount of fuel, the weight of the fuel will stop
them from working properly.
Therefore, when filling an empty store space or when the rotary agitator arms are
extended:
❒ First of all place a small amount of fuel (approx. 2 – 3 m³) on and around the
head of the rotary agitator
❒ Only add the rest of the fuel once the rotary agitator arms are back on the
head of the rotary agitator
❒ It is important you follow the procedure given below!
❒ Disconnect the boiler’s main switch
❒ Turn off the main switch on the expansion switch cabinet (if installed)
❒ Switch off main switch at feed system module
❒ Pile up the residual fuel (in the corners and on the walls) in the fuel store on and
around the head of the rotary agitator and on the discharge screw by hand.
➥ The head of the rotary agitator should be completely covered.
❒ Follow the instructions on working in the fuel store!
NOTICE! Refer to the notice (supplied with the boiler) at the entrance to the store
If the head of the rotary agitator is not adequately covered by the remaining fuel:
❒ Load a small amount of fuel (approx. 2-3 m³)
➥ Pile it up on and around the head of the rotary agitator
➥ The head of the rotary agitator should be completely covered
