NPACKING
Hearthstone packages your Equinox woodstove with
the greatest care so that it ships safely. Under
certain circumstances, however, damage may still
occur during transit and handling. When you receive
the Equinox, refer to the instructions below for
removing the stove from the pallet, then carefully
unpack and inspect the stove and all accompanying
parts. Make sure that all parts are included in the
box. If any parts are damaged or missing, please
contact your dealer immediately.
The packaging of the Equinox allows the use of a
stair climbing hand truck without the stove attached
to the pallet.
Detail 1 – Removing stove from pallet
Unbolt the skids from the pallet, but not the stove
from the skids. The extra height beneath the stove
created by the skids allows lifting from the sides
using a stair climbing hand truck. Unscrew the stove
from the skids once the stove is in position on the
hearth. Finally, lift each side to remove the wood
skids.

TOVE
Choose a place to install your Equinox woodstove.
Inspect this location to make sure that the stove and
stovepipes will have the required clearance from
combustible materials that are near the stove.
Combustibles include walls, floor, ceiling, and
chimney chase. You must carefully consider the
clearances to all of these combustibles before
actually connecting your stove.
Consider the weight of the Equinox [689 pounds
(313 kg)], and its hearth. You must ensure the floor
system will support the weight of the stove and
hearth. If you are not certain your floor is adequate,
contact a professional structural engineer for advice.
If the floor is made of combustible material, then a
non-combustible floor protector with at least an R-1
rating is required between the floor and this stove.
An example of a non-combustible floor protector is a
hearth constructed with a continuous layer of a listed
backer board (such as Micore, Wonder-Board or
Durock) used for ember protection with a tile, brick,
slate, or another non-combustible facing.
If you use a close clearance connector pipe, ensure
it is listed with Underwriter’s Laboratories. Check the
listing of your pipe with UL for the correct
clearances.
The diagrams in this manual represent typical
installations, but are specific to the Simpson Dura-
Vent DVL brand.
