Mobile Home Installation
For Canadian Installations : see Outside Air
Kit - Part # 846-502.
There are further requirements when installing
this unit into a mobile home in Canada only.
Once you have properly marked the position of
your unit and the floor protection as outlined in
the Residential Installation items #1 through #8, a
supply of fresh air has to be supplied to your unit.
See Optional Outside Air Kit instructions in this
manual.
Place your unit in position and secure it to the floor
using two lag bolts 3/8" (10mm) x 3-1/2" (89mm)
through the two holes inside the pedestal base.
It is important to maintain the structural integrity
of the Mobile Home floor, walls and roof when
installing your unit.
For Mobile Home units installed in the U.S. the unit
must be grounded using a #8 ground wire with
approved termination and star washer.
CAUTION:
At no time use unlabelled
parts, or substitute parts made for another
chimney system.
Install as per chimney manufacturer's
installation instructions.
1. Identify the position of the outside air damper by the orientation of the metal handle that rests outside
the galvanized pipe. The metal handle and the damper disc are in line with each other. This means
that if the metal handle is in a horizontal position, the damper is flat and fully open.
2. Open the damper fully whenever you start a fire. This will allow the outside air to be drawn in the
pedestal base eliminating any potential smoke escaping the stove and entering the room. (Negative
air pressure)
