Страница: 28 / 66

Operating Information
Please read this manual before operating the
boiler. Important requirements and instructions must
be followed for safety and satisfactory operation of
the boiler. When operating the unit you must keep
the doors closed and maintain the seals in good
condition. All covers or guards must be in place at all
times, except for maintenance or service.
/e quality and burning characteristics of coal
vary widely so it is important to use the type of coal
for which the Coal Gun™ was designed. Best results
will be obtained using pea-size anthracite having a
high ash fusion temperature. No bituminous or
lignite types of coal are acceptable for use in the
Coal Gun.
Be sure the boiler vessel is full of
water and pressurized before
starting a fire. Never attempt to add
water to a hot boiler if found to be
only partially full. Allow the unit to
cool before adding water to the
boiler. Failure to do so could result
in death or severe injury along with
damage to boiler and surrounding
property.
LIGHTING THE COAL GUN
TM
When starting a 1re, it is advantageous for both the
system and the house to be cold. /is allows the Coal
Gun to establish a good burn before reaching
maximum temperature, aEer which the draE
induction fan that powers combustion will shut
down. Before starting the 1re, turn oD the grate
switch and 1ll the hopper full of pea or buckwheat
coal.
At this point, when you look into the coal pot
through the sight hole cover, you will see coal lying
close to the opening. Insert several 1re starters (such
as Rutland Safe Lite, Easy Light Charcoal or Match
Light Charcoal) so that they are nearly covered by
the coal. Turn on the Coal Gun boiler switch. /e
induction fan will be running at this time. Light the
starters with a match, wand type lighter or propane
torch. A propane torch works best for quick lighting.
When the starter material is fully in@amed, let the
sight tube @ap drop over the tube. /e sight tube @ap
should be pulled snugly inward against the sight
tube (see Operation of Sight Hole Cover below).
Allow the Coal Gun to run for one to two hours in
order to allow the coal in the coal pot to burn, and
for the 1re to become well established. Once the ash
temperature has climbed to over 155 degrees or
higher, turn the grate on. /e 1rst time the grates
cycle, there will be a bit of unburned coal in the ash
tub. /e S130 and S260 Coal Gun™ are furnished
with a single ash tub. An extra tub can be obtained
from Alternate Heating Systems.
Warning- Risk of fire:
•
Do not operate with fuel hopper lid oD or ash
removal doors open.

The use of emergency power from a backup
generator is necessary for operating the Coal
Gun
TM
during a power failure. Without backup
power, the fire in the Coal Gun will gradually go
out. The boiler will be unable to supply heat
without backup power.
Never use chemicals or flammable
liquids to start the fire. DO NOT
burn garbage, other types of coal or
any other fuel not approved for this
unit.
