Verti-Flow™ Stoker Control

Verti-Flow™ Stoker Control

This section describes the features and operations of the Harman® Verti-Flow™ Stoker

Control. The timers are adjustable from 0 minutes to 15 minutes in 1 minute steps. There

are red lights on the front panel to show proper operation of the timer. One indicator

shows power is applied to the unit. The other three indicators show when power is

available at the adjacent receptacle.
The stoker control will be mounted on the side panel of the feeder directly below the

coal hopper. The three receptacles and switch will be facing forward while the power

cord, 3 AMP fuse access port and the thermostat connections will be to the rear.
