Maintenance GRATE CARE - ASH REMOVAL It is necessary that ashes be removed from the ash pan on a daily basis. The ashes should never be allowed to accumulate high enough to come in contact with the grates. Such a condition could cut off necessary air circulation.
Maintenance SMOKE PIPE, CHIMNEY AND SECONDARY HEAT EXCHANGER Do not burn green or freshly felled wood. This may cause creosote and soot to build up in chimney, smoke pipe, and secondary heat exchanger. These should be checked and cleaned several times each heating season.
The belt should be deflected approximately one inch, without the motor moving, when moderate pressure is applied. See Fig. 40 FIG. 39 FIG. 40 Questions? Visit www.yukon-eagle.com or call 1-800-358-0060...
Supply air temperature should be no more than 80-90º higher than return air temperature. Air temperature rise can be lowered by: 1. Increasing blower speed. 2. Additional supply or return outlets. 3. Lowering firing rate. Questions? Visit www.yukon-eagle.com or call 1-800-358-0060...
