NOTE: Use only genuine Central Boiler parts and accessories if it ever becomes necessary
to replace any component on the outdoor furnace.
Allow the outdoor furnace to thoroughly cool and completely clean out the firebox
and ash collection chamber before servicing any item on the outdoor furnace. Always
follow the Firebox Door Opening Procedure to reduce the possibility of a flashback,
even if the outdoor furnace has been shut down for an extended period of time.

FIREBOX DOOR HINGE / LATCH BEARING ADJUSTMENT

If the firebox door seal has been replaced and it is not sealing properly, the
firebox door may need to be adjusted to close more tightly. When adjusting the
firebox door, make sure it is not adjusted too tightly as damage to the firebox
door, frame or door seal may result.
1. To tighten the hinges, loosen the inner adjustment nut and turn the outer
nut in slightly; then tighten the inner adjustment nut securely. Adjust the
top and bottom hinge for equal pressure when the door is latched.
2. To tighten the latch bearing, loosen the latch adjustment nut; then tap the
latch bearing assembly in toward the firebox. Tighten the latch adjustment
nut securely.
