burn Pot Cleaning and maintenance
Whenever adding fuel, take the opportunity to clean the
burn pot.
(weekly at minimum)
• Scrape the top holed surface and sides of the burn
pot down to auger tube.(Fig 58) It is not necessary to
completely remove all material from the burn pot. The
excess will be pushed out during the next use.
monthly, or after each ton of fuel burned:
• Loosen the (2) wing thumb screws on the lower front
angle of the burn pot. (Fig. 59)
• Lift off the clean-out cover (Fig.59) to open the bottom
clean-out chamber. (Fig.60)
• Clean ash buildup from inside the chamber while cover
is off. Use the scraper to tap on the top front edge of the
burn pot. This will help knock pieces of ash, loosened
by the scraping process, down through the holes. It also
helps knock scale off of the igniter element.

The igniter is made to be removable for service
by insulated male/female wire connectors. These
connections between the hot leads (the wires inside the
burn pot) and the cold leads (the wires from the control
board) are always pulled to the inside rear of the feeder
body.
(Not coiled inside the burn pot.)
It is very important that these connections are to the
inside rear of the feeder body. Also, the extra wire of
the igniter wire service loop must be pulled out through
the rear of the feeder and tied up so that it will not be
damaged by any moving parts.
DANGER
Disconnect the power to the unit before
removing cover.
Note: The hot lead/cold lead connection must
always be pulled to the rear of the feeder body
before operation.
