Congratulations, You have just purchased the finest wood / coal boiler available. Harman Trident boilers are constructed of high quality materials and are manufactured by a highly skilled team of assemblymen. Each boiler is inspected and pressure tested for quality assurance. This manual is designed to provide all of the basic information needed for a safe and proper installation. However, there are many skills needed that can not be learned by reading this manual. Harman Stove Company recommends that the installation be performed by a plumbing and heating expert. The Harman Trident Boilers are designed to operate safe, easy and automatically. You may however, need to learn a few basic skills to maintain a fire. Especially if this is your first venture into solid fuel burning. If you have any problems, re-read these instructions. If you can not resolve the issue(s), Contact your Harman Stove dealer.

Then slide the top down over the sides. NOTE: The sheet metal top holds the sides in place, thus, no bolts or screws are needed. Caution: Boiler should not Be installed Closer than 36 inChes (915 mm) to any ComBustiBle ma- terial Locating Boiler Place the boiler as close to the chimney as possible, while still maintaining the above men- tioned clearances. Bolt the shaker handle on to the block on the side of the boiler, using the (2) 5/16 X 3/4 in. bolts and lock-washers. -

A350. Next, install the S350, again, guiding the plug-in connector carefully. Install the other end clamp to the right side of the din rail. Remove the covers from all three controls by loosening four screws each. Install the terminal box to the controls using (3) chase nipples and locknuts, supplied with the kit. Using the four holes in the terminal box, mount the terminal box and controls to the boiler sheet metal side as shown in Fig.1. Using (2) #8-32 nuts, install the terminal block onto the studs located inside the terminal box. Lay the din rail... -

Re-install the covers onto the three Con- trols. Installation Optional Items There is a domestic hot water coil available for your Trident Boiler. The coil installs in the front of the boiler, and allows your domestic water to be heated by the heating system water. Install the coil now, by removing the round plate and replac- ing it with the coil and it’s round plate. Be sure to tighten the bolts evenly, to ensure a good seal. If electric back-up is desired, install now. There will be two additional control boxes to add to your aquastat, which will require the use of a longer din rail. The two heating elements will install into the front of the boiler as shown in Fig. 1 Venting... -

Notice: The Aquastat controls supplied with the Trident Boiler are designed only to maintain water temperature within the boiler. The actual heating sys- tem is controlled separately by your thermostat(s) opening zone valves or energizing circulation pump(s). - Page 9 The circulator installed between the two boilers may be hooked up to run continuously during the heating season or, an additional S350 control (not supplied) could be installed to turn it on and off automatically. This control must be used as a “close on rise of temperature” (jumper in cooling posi- tion). Harman Stove Company recommends that 1-1/4 in. pipe be used between the two boilers. Also recommended is that the first section of pipe off of the top of the Trident Boiler be threaded galvanized or threaded black-steel pipe. The Harman Trident Boiler is supplied with a dual function aquastat. The A350 is used to control the automatic draft control whether open, to increase heat, or closed, to decrease heat. The S350 is used as overheat protection. Since a wood or coal fire is still producing heat when the draft is closed, this overheat protection is required. You could have the S350 energize a circulating pump or a zone valve separate from the heating system, or it could be hooked up so that it flows the heated water throughout the system. Either way, it must be able to flow away from the boiler. Figure 7 shows a typical schematic of the Trident boiler as a “stand alone” system. Note; the crossover pipe (#12) is not totally necessary but is recommended to provide circulation within the boiler while the heating system is satisfied. This will ensure an even temperature within the boiler. The tempering valve shown (#10) is to prevent excessive temperature of the domestic water. FIG. Installation...

Using a match or lighter, light the paper just inside the door. Close and latch the firebox door and al- low the fire to burn a few minutes. After about five minutes, close the ash pan door and re-open the firebox door an inch or two, to allow the smoke to clear. Add 4 or 5 larger logs (about 4 in. diameter) to the well established fire and close the firebox door. Leave the ash pan door open for about five minutes only. Now open the firebox door using the same method as before, always closing the ash pan door before opening the firebox door. Now you can load the firebox to the desired level. You may load wood to the top of the firebox. Close and latch the door. The ash pan door may again be opened to speed the ignition process. Do not leave the boiler unattended with any door open. After the wood is burning well, close the ash pan door. The automatic draft control will now regulate the fire, based on temperature demand. The idle air adjuster must be tuned to where the fire doesn’t go out during long periods with no demand. Experience will dictate the best setting for your installation. Normally, the two manual draft controls on the firebox door are kept closed while burning wood. -
Page 11: Starting A Coal Fire
Never start a fire without water in the system. An explosion will occur. Turn on electrical power to the boiler. This should cause the automatic draft control to open. Open the ash pan door to allow free air move- ment. Use the same procedure as starting a wood fire except, do not load the larger diameter wood Use wood about 2 in. diameter maximum. This size will form a very hot charcoal bed in less time. Again, the ash pan door may be opened periodi- cally to speed the ignition process. DO NOT LEAVE THE BOILEr uNATTENDED WITH ANy DOOr OpEN. When you have accumulated a substantial charcoal bed, start adding a thin layer of coal. Pea or Nut sized coal is better for starting than Stove coal. When the first layer is burning with some blue flame, continue to add thin layers of coal until there is a solid bed of burning coal. Let each layer burn a blue flame before adding another layer. Ad- ditional coal can be layered in until the bed is ap- proximately 10 inches deep. By now, you should... -

The firebox should never be filled with excessive coal to where the flue exit is blocked or impeded in any way. Burning coal produces Carbon monoxide. If the flue exit is blocked, the Carbon Monoxide can be forced out of the boiler, into the room, with possible fATAL consequences. With the exception of start-up or freshening of the fire, or performing ash removal, the ash pan door should be kept closed. -

The spiral chamber is basically self-cleaning. However, if there is a draft problem and you have been burning wood for a long time with little demand, the spiral chamber will need to be cleaned. To clean the spiral chamber, remove the stovepipe and scrape any creosote or debris from the top and front of the chamber. The rear of the chamber should not have much accumulation. If it does, clean it out. NOTE: 1/4” to 1/2” of creosote in the spiral chamber is normal. The pipes inside the firebox will accumulate creosote if the demand for heat is too low, when burning wood. 1/8” to 1/4” of creosote is normal on the pipes and firebox walls. If more creosote has accumulated, it should be scraped off of these surfaces. NOTE: Creosote in the firebox can be burned off by burning coal for a few days. The fire bricks may become cracked during the course of normal operation. A cracked brick that is still in place, is still doing its job, and need not be replaced immediately. If a brick is broken, and has fallen out of place, it should be replaced before any further burning occurs. The firebricks used in the Trident Boiler are available for replacement from your Harman dealer. Gaskets on the doors are there to regulate air to the firebox. If a gasket is failing, you’ll notice difficulty in controlling the fire. Inspect the gaskets regularly, and replace with Harman supplied mate- rial only.
