BI-MONTHLY INTERVAL
1.
The Chimney Connector and Chimney should be inspected at least twice monthly to determine
if creosote buildup has occurred.
2. The Flue Pipe should be carefully inspected. Remove any solids buildup that has accumulated.
1. Check the oil level in the Gearbox. To check, remove the Level Plug located on the
right side of the Gearbox and see if the oil level is up to this point. If no oil is vis-
ble, add oil until overflow occurs.
2. Check gears for proper mesh and for uneven wear. Re-align if necessary.
3. Spread thin layer of grease on small and large spur gear. (Do not use excessive amount).
4. Check belt tension. Should be approximately 1/4” flex when belt is depressed. Re-
adjust if necessary. (To adjust belt, loosen nuts directly above gearbox and adjust
upward or downward for proper adjustment, then re-tighten nuts.)
5. The flue pipe should be carefully and thoroughly cleaned if necessary.

Creosote - Formation and need for removal:
When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors, which
combine with expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapors con-
dense in the relatively cool chimney flue of a slow burning fire. As a result,
creosote residue accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited, this creosote
makes an extremely hot fire.
IF CREOSOTE HAS ACCUMULATED IT SHOULD BE REMOVED TO
REDUCE THE RISK OF A CHIMNEY FIRE.
