INSTALLATION
Pioneer
Wood
is
connected
to
a
hot
tub
using
a
connection
kit
(included
in
complete
hot
tub
packages).
The
kit
is
not
supplied
with
the
purchase
of
only
the
stove
but
can
be
ordered
separately.
Install
according
to
instructions
below
if
the
connection
pipe
is
of
SpaDelers
manufacture.
The
stove
is
placed
on
a
surface
made
from
wood,
brick
or
cement.
Let
it
stand
a
little
higher
at
the
rear
to
prevent
air
formation
that
can
disrupt
the
circulation
and
cause
damage
to
the
stove.
1.
For
the
upper
connection
pipe
(outlet),
drill
a
60mm
hole
in
the
side
of
the
hot
tub,
approx.
6
cm
higher
than
the
upper
outlet
of
the
stove.
In
the
bottom
of
the
opposite
side
of
the
hot
tub,
make
a
similar
hole
for
the
inlet
water
to
the
stove.
(NOTE:
For
an
assembled
hot
tub
kit
this
step
and
step
2
are
already
made)
2.
The
skewed
bushing
is
then
screwed
into
the
side.
The
curved
bushing
is
screwed
into
the
bottom.
3.
The
rubber
pipes
are
attached
between
the
stove
and
pipes
from
the
hot
tub.
If
the
tubes
are
lubricated
(for
instance,
cooking
oil),
it
is
easier
to
assemble.
Fasten
with
the
included
clamps.
4.
In
order
to
obtain
good
water
circulation
the
top
pipe
should
slope
upwards
approx.
15°.
WINTER
USAGE
If
there
is
a
risk
of
freezing
damage
then
the
heater
must
be
drained
of
water
after
use.
Self
‐
circulation
will
cease
when
the
wood
has
burnt
out
and
the
small
amount
of
water
remaining
in
the
heater
can
easily
freeze
and
cause
damage
to
the
heater.
To
keep
the
water
in
the
hot
tub
there
is
a
rubber
plug
complete
with
accessories.
See
images
below.
If
electricity
is
available
then
a
freezing
guard
can
be
installed
in
the
heaters
firebox
to
avoid
freezing
damages
when
it’s
not
in
use.
Upper
and
lower
connection
pipes
must
then
be
insulated.
Function
Pioneer
Wood
functions
as
a
conventional
wood
stove.
The
firebox
is
43cm
long
and
3
cm
in
diameter.
Maximum
effect
is
achieved
by
using
dry
wood
(less
than
15%
moisture),
40
‐
42cm
long
and
split
into
smaller
parts.
A
load
burns
for
approx.
20
‐
30
minutes.
Never
use
acidic
wood
as
it
reduces
the
effectiveness
considerably
and
may
cause
heavy
deposits
on
the
stove's
heat
transfer
surface.
Also
avoid
alder
wood.
Controlling
the
draft
and
heating
effect
is
done
by
regulating
the
lower
draft
door.
For
fast
heating,
open
about
10cm
and
keep
it
closed
to
maintain
temperature
once
the
water
is
hot.
