Hopper Lid Latches - England's Stove Works 25-IP Installation & Operation Manual

The seals around the top of the pellet hopper are important to safe and efficient operation of the unit.
The latch installed on these units is designed to pull the hopper lid tight against this seal. Over the course of
operation as these seals "wear in" and compress, the tension of the latch should be tested periodically, and
adjusted if necessary.
To adjust the lid latch, the following tools will be needed: two ½" wrenches, or a ½" wrench and a ½"
socket. In order to adjust the latch, first open the hopper lid and then lock the latch in its closed position. Then
take the ½" wrench and loosen the nut closest to the latch. This nut is then adjusted closer to the lid itself to
tighten the latch. After adjusting this nut to the desired location, hold this nut in place with the ½" wrench, then
tighten down the holding nut on the end of the latch shaft with the ½" socket or second wrench, to hold the
latching assembly in place. After tightening the latch, test the latch for proper tension by locking the lid down
and lifting each front corner of the lid. The lid should be firmly held down by the latch. Repeat the same
procedure if the latch is still not tight enough.
IMPORTANT! READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS, INCLUDING CLEANING
THE UNIT AS SPECIFIED, AND REPLACING GASKETS ANNUALLY, AND PARTS AS NEEDED.
