Periodic Maintenance
CAUTION:
Periodic maintenance should only be done while the Stove is shut off and cold.
1.
Ashpan.
Empty the ash pan when it appears full (approximately twice a week).
The
frequency of cleaning the ash pan will depend on the quality and amount of Fuel being
burned.
Carefully check to make sure the ash pan door is tightly closed after each time it has
been opened.
2.
Revolution Burnpot.
Clean Burn Grate holes whenever needed. Clean the burnpot while it
is in the Stove. Remove the pot Side Shields
(See Figure 20 on Page 28)
and use a stiff
bristle brush to remove any ash build that may be plugging the holes. To clean the holes in
the front of the pot remove the panel below the door
(two ¼ - 20 locknuts inside the firebox)
and then remove the Igniter Assembly. Clean the holes in the front of the pot through the
opening behind the Igniter.
If the unit is slow in lighting, make sure the hole in front of the
igniter is not plugged.
By tripping the switch lever, shown in
detail in figure 31 below, the burn pot
will cycle to another section. Repeat this
until all 4 sections of the drum have been
cleaned. Check each section and all
holes with a small mirror to verify they
are clean.
If the holes in the pot remain plugged,
remove the Burnpot,
(as shown in
Figure 20 on Page 28 & figure 19 on
page 27)
and use a small metal object
(Nail, Drill Bit, etc) to clean out plugged
holes.
