USSC 6041 How To Use And Maintain page 22

Adjust Agitator Speed
Refer to table 4 for the proper button to select the desired agitator speed, the default setting is
one higher than the pellet feed rate and you have a choice of speed between 1 through 10. The
agitator turns and mixes order burning pellets with new pellets recently added to the ash pan.
This mix of old and new pellets facilitates even burning of pellets. It also has the added bonus of
sifting ash through the bottom of the ash pan. This facilitates draft fan airflow assisting overall
burn quality the pellets.
Adjust Draft Fan and Damper
Action One: The true science in operating the USSC 6041 Multi-Fuel Stove is in the adjustments
made to the draft fan and the damper. By increasing the draft fan you supply additional oxygen
to the burn chamber permitting a higher flame and the ability to burn more pellets.
Through the use of the damper, you can fine tune levels of oxygen in the burn chamber. For
example, refer to figures 29 and 30. In figure 29, the damper is pulled out to its full open
position, this provides maximum oxygen at the current stove settings. Conversely in figure 30,
the damper is pushed forward in the full closed position. At this point, no other settings of the
stove have been changed and you can see the effects the damper has on the flame, is much
lower.

Action Two: Refer to table 4 for the proper button to select the desired draft fan speed, the
default setting is one higher than the pellet feed rate and you have a choice of speed between 1
through 10. As seen in Figure 29 and 30 the damper is located under the burn chamber. When
making fine adjustments to the draft fan or the damper wait 3 to 5 minutes after each adjustment
to permit time for the flame to fully adjust.
