3. ASSEMBLING THE CAST IRON OUTER
CASE
Please read these instructions fully before attempting to install the
Outer Case for the first time.
THE OUTER CASE COMPONENTS ARE HEAVY
The cast-iron outer case supplied with President is a high quality
casting weighing around 120lbs in total, therefore it is supplied as
individual components that are easily assembled together to form a
whole. The weight of the heaviest piece is 28 lb. If you have any
doubt of your ability to easily assemble these components, you
should ask someone to assist.
Remove the outer case components from Boxes 2 and 3, identify
each part, and check for transit damage. Note there are two Side
Panels (left and right), a lower ashlip/front feet assembly, an
Arched Lintel component, a Door, and a Top Plate. See exploded
diagram below (Figure 4).
The outer case components comprise:-
2 Left and right side panels with leveling feet.
1 Ashlip/front feet assembly
1 Arched lintel assembly
1 Door assembly
1 Top plate
Identify the two Side Panels. Take the left panel and observe the
leveling feet. The leveling feet are precision-machined to a high
finish to avoid scratching the hearth.
Offer up the panel to the vertical plane of the fireplace back panel
and observe that the panel sits level on the hearth leaving no
discernible vertical gap against the fireplace. Adjust the leveling
feet to eliminate any such gap.
Place to one side. Similarly adjust the right hand panel for level.
Place to one side.
