MAINTENANCE CHECKLIST
Season Start-Up
To begin season start-up of your Heatmor
TM
Outdoor Furnace, assuming you followed the
procedures outlined in the “End of Season Maintenance Checklist,” follow the instructions
below:
1) Remove cap from chimney.
2) Build fire in firebox and bring your furnace up to temperature. Refer to “
Lighting
the Heatmor
TM
for the First Time”
3) Once your furnace is up to temperature, you can start all pumps.
4) Your start-up is complete.
CAUTION:
It is recommended to start your pumps AFTER
you bring your furnace up to temperature. This helps to see if
your system is air locked and ensures your HTF is
circulating
correctly.

you would ashes. If a lot of dust is dropped down, be certain that the air slot of
the front air box is not covered.

airtight seal.
