18. GENERAL NOTES
This instructions manual treats mainly of the oil burning unit of your wood/oil combination furnace.
To obtain the maximum efficiency out of your furnace, follow the advice below regarding the installation and operation
of your WOOD/OIL combination furnace.
Respect the local codes (when in doubt, consult your local dealer).
Respect the clearances indicated on this instructions manual and make sure that they match those indicated
on the appliance's certification label;
Make sure that your furnace is installed in conformity with the instructions on the certification label;
All the controls adjustments must be performed by a qualified technician.
THE INSTALLATION OF THE WOOD/OIL COMBINATION FURNACE MUST BE DONE IN ACCORDANCE WITH
THE RULES OF THE AUTHORITIES HAVING JURISDICTION AND THE CAN/CSA B-139 M-91 STANDARD FOR
OIL BURNING HEATING APPLIANCES.
OIL BURNING FURNACES ARE NOT APPROVED FOR USE WITH COMBUSTIBLE HEAVIER THAN NO.2 OIL
(FURNACE OIL). DO NOT USE GASOLINE, TRANSMISSION OIL, OR OTHER TYPE OF OIL CONTAINING
GASOLINE.
FOR INSTALLATION IN WOOD/OIL CONFIGURATION, YOU MUST USE OF A 7" CHIMNEY. A 7" TO 6"
REDUCER MUST BE INSTALLED AT THE FLUE OUTLET OF THE FURNACE.
19. DRAFT AND CHIMNEY
The chimney must conform to the rules of the authorities having jurisdiction and the CAN/CSA B139 & NFPA 31
standard regarding installation of oil burning heating appliances. The installation of the connecting pipes to the oil unit
must be done and approved by a professional.
NOTE: The barometric damper provided with the appliance must be properly installed on the flue pipe of the
oil burning unit. The purpose of the damper is to adjust the draft in the evacuation pipe of the oil burning unit
to the recommended level. Since the evacuation pipe of the oil burning unit is connected on the evacuation
pipe of the wood burning furnace, the minimum draft to be respected is 0.04 IN.W.C. in the evacuation pipe of
the wood burning side, at all times. In fact, a barometric damper that would be opened too wide could cause
an important loss of draft in the evacuation pipe of the wood burning furnace.
20. OIL TANK AND PIPING
The maximum capacity of the tank must not exceed 200 imperial gallons (900 liters) and the tank must be located at
least 60" from the burner (a 24-inche distance is however recommended for maintenance). Local codes will govern
the size of the air inlets and filling openings as well as the type of plugs to be used. 1 1/4" IPS and 2" IPS are usually
accepted as minimum dimensions for the air intake pipes and fill pipes, respectively. The oil line to the burner must be
a 3/8" outside diameter copper tubing for runs up to 50 feet, and 1/2" outside diameter for longer runs. A manual shut-
off valve and an oil filter shall follow in sequence on the oil line between the oil tank and the burner. The oil line must
be buried or protected adequately to avoid any damage.
21. BURNER PUMP
When the tank is located below the unit, the basic single course pump, powered by a single duct, can compensate for
a drop of 8 feet (244 cm) measured between tank outlet and the height of entry into the burner.
When the rise is more than 8 feet (244 cm) and not exceeding 10 feet (305 cm), a by-pass plug (provided with the
burner) must be inserted in the pump and an oil return pipe must be installed. For more details, see "INSTALLATION
INFORMATIONS", Part No. 21844 on the burner pump.
If the rise is higher than 10 feet (305 cm), a two stage pump may be required along with an oil return pipe.
