AGP Stove
Yearly Maintenance (or Every Ton of Pellets) - Adjust the Door Cam
The door cam should be tight enough to pull the door against the face of the stove yet not so tight as to not allow full
handle rotation. To tighten the door cam, remove the door handle and remove one of the washers between the door
frame and cam (the washer may be stored for future use by placing it between the cam and nut). To loosen the door
cam, add a washer between the door frame and cam.
NOTE
: Older models use 7 washers between the door & cam. Newer models use 1 bushing & 3 washers.
Yearly Maintenance (or Every Ton of Pellets) - Check for Air Leaks Around the Door,
Glass, and Ashpan
Air leaks into the firebox will decrease the stove's performance greatly, leading to
excessive sooting, inefficient burning, and perhaps a malfunction.
Inspect the door gasket to make sure it is fully attached. If the door gasket is worn or flattened, replace it.
If the glass is cracked, replace it. The glass is held in place with clips.
Open the ashpan access door and inspect the gasket around the door. Re-attach or replace the gasket if
necessary. Re-attach, or replace the gasket if necessary.
NOTE:
Ask your authorized Travis dealer to demonstrate how to check a door seal.
Every Two Years (or Every 4 to 6 Tons of Pellets) Chisel Replacement
The chisel is designed to shear pellets during operation. As the chisel becomes dull over time it will make it
harder for the appliance to shear pellets and could shorten the life of the feed motor. We recommend that the
chisel be replaced every two years or 4 to 6 tons of pellets to help ensure proper operation of the appliance.
To remove the chisel, first, remove all pellets from the hopper. Turn the appliance on and turn the heat rate to
“HIGH”. The hopper lid switch will need to be held in the closed position (AGP appliances) or the hopper lid will
need to be closed and you can look through the glass lid (Deerfield & Foxfire stoves) for the feed system to
turn. The chisel will rotate into view (it is the serrated component held in place with two screws). Once the
chisel is in the proper position, unplug the heater and remove the cover plate at the bottom of the hopper (6
screws hold it in place). The chisel is held in place with two cap head screws (use a 1/8” hex wrench to
remove). Remove the chisel and replace it with a new chisel (available from your dealer).
NOTE: There is a
shim (2 shims on older units) under the chisel – make sure to replace the shim when installing the
chisel
. When replacing the cover plate, make sure to place the gasket between the cover plate and the hopper
(use silicone if a gasket is not used). This prevents pellet dust from falling below. Return the heater to the
correct configuration before operating.
