Safety Tips
When opening the firebox door, it should
be cracked, slightly open, for a few seconds
to allow air in to burn any gases which may be
present. This will also allow smoke to be drawn
away from the door. Whenever the ash pan door
is open, it should be closed before opening the
firebox door.
The firebox should never be filled with
excessive coal to where the flue exit is blocked or
impeded in any way.
Burning coal produces Carbon monoxide. If
the flue exit is blocked, the Carbon Monoxide
can be forced out of the boiler, into the room,
with possible fATAL consequences.
With the exception of start-up or freshening
of the fire, or performing ash removal, the ash pan
door should be kept closed.
Never install a Harman Trident Boiler into a
chimney with a history of down-drafts.
Keep Children Away-- may Cause Seri-
ous Burns.
CAuTION: All surfaces of the boiler are
hot. Do not touch. Keep children away.
Serious burns will result if touched.
This is a heat producing appliance.
DANGEr: fire Hazard, Do not use
chemicals or flammable liquids to start
or “freshen-up” a fire. Severe burns or
a house fire may result. Do not burn
Garbage, Gasoline, Thinners, Oil, Kero-
sene Etc. An explosion, a house fire or
serious personal injury could result.
Keep all such liquids well away from
this boiler.
During the first few hours of burning, a blue
smoke may be observed rising from the boiler.
This is the paint going through the curing process.
It is advisable to increase the amount of fresh
air in the room during this break in period. This
can be achieved by opening doors and windows.
Don’t be alarmed, this is normal and will only last
a short while.
Chimney problems
Not Enough Draft-
Chimney is too low.
The general rule for chimneys is 16 feet tall, and
two feet higher than anything ten feet around it.
Air may be leaking in around a loose fitting clean-
out door.
Too many elbows in connector pipe, or seams and
joints of connector pipe are not secured properly.
Improperly sized chimney or stovepipe.
Chimney may be blocked with creosote or bird
nests or similar obstructions.
Cracked or defective chimney flue or liner.
Down Drafts-
Trees or other topographi-
cal barriers may impede on chimney performance
causing air currents to be pushed downward into
the flue. This can also be caused by neighboring
buildings or other chimneys.
Creosote and condensation-
If creo-
sote or condensation runs out of the chimney or
stove pipe, check the following; Chimney cap or
liner may be defective, Boiler may be positioned
too far away from the chimney which would not
allow the chimney to warm, Wood being burned
may be green or wet, Boiler may be over-sized for
the residence causing it to be burned on low too
often.
Excessive Draft-
This can be controlled
with a barometric damper in the stove pipe.
