Assembly Instructions - MAGNUM
After outlining the dry set pieces, remove them and
apply Earthcore adhesive to the areas traced on the base
plate where the side walls and back wall are to sit. By
doing this, the first layer of wall components can be set
directly into Earthcore adhesive already applied to the
proper areas on the base plate.
3.
Continue assembly of the consecutive courses of the
firebox side wall and back wall,
making sure to stagger
the backwall components so that the vertical joints
do not align.
Apply Earthcore adhesive to the top of each
layer of wall components, set the next course above into
place. Be sure to Earthcore adhesive all vertical joints of
the side wall to back wall connection when setting each
component to its mate.
(Figure 18)
Look for some Earthcore adhesive to squeeze out
along the joints of all contact surfaces as a sign that the
joint is thoroughly sealed with the approved Earthcore
adhesive.
4.
When all of the firebox sidewall and backwall
components are set, check the top surface of the firebox
for level. If necessary, adjust the top surface of the box
assembly for level by inserting a shim supplied with the
unit between the lowest wall component and the top
surface of the base plate.
Any gap created under the wall components during
the Shim leveling process must be filled with Earthcore
Adhesive to fill bearing against the base plate.
5.
Steel angle iron with measurements of 4” x 6” x
3/4” cut to span firebox opening will be needed to
assemble the firebox.
This item is not included in the
components and can be sourced locally.
This steel angle sits on top of the uppermost side
wall component with the six inch (6") leg in the horizontal
position. To avoid a thickness problem with the placement
of the steel angle it is necessary to cut a notch in the top
side wall component where the angle is to sit. This notch
should be cut approximately 3/4” deep. The notch should
start at the front face of the side wall component (at both
the left and right hand walls) and run to a point six inch
(6”) back toward the firebox.
(Figure 19)
The steel angle sits in this notch. The four inch (4")
leg of the steel angle is in the vertical position and is
to be located in alignment with the front of the firebox.
The ends of the steel angle should not protrude beyond
the outer firebox side wall. Earthcore adhesive between
the steel and the notch in the top of the side wall is not
needed.
