burn Pot Cleaning and maintenance
Whenever loading fuel into the hopper, take the
opportunity to scrape the top holed surface and sides
of the burn pot down to auger tube.(Fig 39) It is not
necessary to completely remove all material from the
burn pot. The excess will be pushed out during the
next use.
Approximately once per month, clean out the air-flow
portion of the burn pot: 1. Loosen the (2) wing thumb
screws on the lower front angle of the burn pot. (Fig.
40)
2. Lift off the clean-out cover (Fig.40) to open the
bottom clean-out chamber. (Fig.41)
3. Clean ash buildup from inside the chamber while
cover is off. Use the scraper to tap on the top front
edge of the burn pot. This will help knock pieces of
ash, loosened by the scraping process, down through
the holes. It also helps knock scale off of the igniter
element.

The igniter is made to be removable for service
by insulated male/female wire connectors. These
connections between the hot leads (the wires inside the
burn pot) and the cold leads (the wires from the control
board) are always pulled to the inside rear of the feeder
body. (Not coiled inside the burn pot.)
It is very important that these connections are to the
inside rear of the feeder body. Also, the extra wire of
the igniter wire service loop must be pulled out through
the rear of the feeder and tied up so that it will not be
damaged by any moving parts.
WARNING
Use caution when cleaning burn pot clean-out
chamber. Do not damage the high temperature
igniter wires.

(High temperature)
Note: The hot lead/cold lead connection
must always be pulled to the rear of the
feeder body before operation.
