Outside the Hopper:
There are a number of very quick checks that should be performed on the OUTSIDE of the hopper assembly:
1.
Check and clean any debris from the fan air intake. Eg. Spider webs, tree fluff, etc.
Ensure there are no obstructions within 12 inches of the fan air intake.
2
Check and clean any debris from the air vents, found on the front and back sides.
3.
Inspect and clean the fuel hopper area.
Remove the four (4) screws securing the Hopper Safety Screen.
Two (2) in the hopper and two (2) on the Access Panel, on the end of the hopper.
To aid in protecting the galvanized metal and to allow pellet fuel to
slide easily, you can apply a coating of car wax.
Inspect the metal auger area. Check and clean any sawdust build-up and debris.
An excess build up of fines, will lead to improper feeding and temperature
changes.
Inside the Hopper Access Panel:
You can remove the 8 (eight) screws securing the “Access Panel” to the end of the hopper assembly.
There are four (4) along the top, two (2) in the middle, and two (2) on the bottom edge.
This will allow you to perform the following within the hopper assembly:
1.
Check and clean any debris within the hopper housing.
2
Check and clean any debris from the fan blades or housing.
3.
Check and clean any debris from the auger motor
4.
Visual inspection on the wire harness and all wire connections.
5.
Ensure all excess wires are not impeding the air from the fan reaching the burn grate.
Upon completion of inspection replace all screws. Hand start each screw to ensure proper threading.
