by means of a pallet jack. Use of a pallet jack
with the Coal Gun

requires that the boiler be
skidded or that the installer has made other
provisions to insert a pallet jack under the boiler
base without causing damage. The boiler must
be placed on a concrete slab or other rigid pad
of non-combustible material with sufficient
strength to adequately support the boiler,
including its contents of water. The boiler
should be positioned as closely as possible to
the chimney. The smoke pipe must pitch
continually upward toward the chimney and be
as straight as possible. Level the boiler after it
has been positioned.
Before proceeding with installation, inquire with
local building officials to ensure that the
installation is in compliance with all building,
plumbing and electrical codes.
A qualified technician experienced in boiler
installations is recommended for the installation
of this unit. Wiring on the boiler must be
properly grounded.
WARNING:
BUILDING CODE COMPLIANCE
The installation of this unit must
comply with state and local
requirements and must be
inspected by the state or local
building inspector where
required.
NOTE: This unit is not approved nor is it
recommended for use in mobile homes.
CLEARANCES REQUIRED FOR
SAFETY AND OPERATION
It is important to provide sufficient clearance
around the boiler for convenient servicing and
cleanout.
The required minimums for Coal Stoker boilers
when measured from the exterior of the boiler
are 30 in to the rear (end of boiler with fan
assembly), 36 in to the right side (when facing
the front of the boiler), 16 in on the left, 18 in
from the hopper top and 24 in to the front (end
of boiler with sight tube). For commercial and
residential installations, many boiler codes
require a minimum of 3 feet of clearance on all
sides. It is the customer’s responsibility to
determine whether the installation complies with
local code or insurance company requirements.
Refer to Appendix A: Boiler Specification
Diagrams for exterior dimensions of the various
models.
GENERAL CHIMNEY
REQUIREMENTS
One of the most important considerations in
installing a wood or coal burning boiler is the
type of chimney that will be used. The
condition and construction of the chimney is
important to provide sufficient draft. The Coal
Gun produces its own draft during the on cycle,
but the chimney produces the draft during the
off cycle. It is necessary to have continual draft,
even during the off cycle, in order to move
Carbon Monoxide, sulfur, and other gases out of
the boiler.
NOTE: For insurance and building code
compliance check with your local building
inspector and insurance agent.
Natural drafts in a chimney result from two
factors. First, draft is created by the aspirating
effects of air currents blowing across the top of
the chimney. Second, drafts are also produced
when the temperature of the flue gases is higher
than the atmosphere around the chimney. For
this reason a chimney must be kept warm (about
250
o
F) for proper draft to occur. Please see
Draft Control section in this manual for more
information.
It is more difficult to maintain sufficient
temperature in an exposed chimney, or one that
