instaLLatiOn OF the heatMOr™ Furnace
Principles
1) Need to have an airtight seal the perimeter of the entire HEATMOR™ so rodents are not able to find
a home inside the HEATMOR™.
2) Need to lift the HEATMOR™ without damaging it.
Equipment Required
1) It is not possible to lift a HEATMOR™ with the forks of a forklift under the
HEATMOR™. It must be lifted from the top , by the lift hook. A crane or heavy
backhoe works best, although a heavy duty farm tractor is acceptable.
a) With a farm tractor, extreme care must be taken to prevent the
HEATMOR™ from swinging and causing damage to the HEATMOR™.
Placing the HEATMOR™ on the Concrete Base
2) Before setting the HEATMOR™ onto the concrete base, it is a
good idea to place a solid sheet of the proper “reflective air foil” (also called
bubble foil) between the concrete and the HEATMOR™. This will absorb
ridges in the concrete and make it easier to apply caulking. This reflective
foil will also reflect escaping heat up into the unit and help prevent air leaks into
the firebox if cement cracks.
3) Make sure the total area of the HEATMOR™ is on solid concrete. Do not let
the HEATMOR™ extend past the hole in the concrete where the lines come in.
4) After the HEATMOR™ is in place perform the following;
Caulking around the Outside Perimeter of HEATMOR™
a) With a sharp knife, trim any excess bubble foil
that extends past the housing of the HEATMOR™.
b) Apply a bead of caulking around the entire outside
perimeter of the HEATMOR™ to seal out rodents.
