TROUBLESHOOTING
Unable to maintain a constant level in the pans:
§
Use an anti-foaming agent.
§
The rubber washer in the fleet arm is worn or badly positioned.
§
The fleet arm needs to be realigned.
§
There is a leak in the fleet and it is filling with water.
§
The water basin is too high and puts too much pressure on the fleet box. Move the basin or
install a pressure-cut box.
You are making syrup in the second syrup pan:
§
This is normal in the beginning. Run the syrup and redistribute it in the water pan to generate
the movement forward.
§
If the problem persists, increase the draw to reduce the heat on the first syrup pan.
Intense heat in the front (the doors become red):
§
The evaporator lacks draw. Adjust the draw.
§
The wood is too close to the doors (It must be at least 6" from the door).
§
If you installed a fan, reduce the speed. Ideally protect the doors and the font front with
insulation.
Intense heat in the chimney (the stack becomes red or the evaporator isn't boiling enough):
§
The evaporator has too much draw. You must restrict the smoke exhaust under the stack.
§
The insulation under the water pan is too low. The insulation must be flush with the top
of the evaporator so that the heat is forced to penetrate inside the folds and promote
the exchange of heat.

the CDL catalog).
