3.6 Seismic Restraint The Waimakariri ULEB must be seismically restrained, including the floor protector. The figure below gives the holes that can be pre-drilled on the floor protector with respect to the flue center. We recommend a minimum size of 8mm DynaBolts on the concrete floor or 8mm coach screws or toggle fasteners for wooden floors of appropriate length.
3.7 Preparing the Burner for First Light-up The Catalytic Combustor, Stainless Steel Flame Arrestor Plate, and Masonry bricks are packed loose and separately along with the main burner. These items need to be installed carefully to make the burner ready for use.

Step 5 – - After removing the front air tube, insert the hand into the front top area of the baffle to judge and feel the various stopper pins and plates for the combustor and the arrester plate. - On the left wall of the firebox, there are two, front and rear stopper plates (1&2) for the combustor to slot it in. - On the front tapered flange of the baffle, there is a rear stopper strip (3) to stop the combustor at the rear.

Step 7 – - Push the combustor back to the rear stopper strip (3), on the baffle. Then push it towards left so that the combustor locks between the front and rear stopper plates (1&2) on the firebox left wall. Note these are angled forward at the top.

- Lift the arrestor into the baffle gap until it hits the damper plate. Then position the bottom of the plate onto the front edge of the baffle. - Push the plate to the left and the rear. Make sure that the plate nothches locate on two location pins (6&7) on the baffle front flange and the top of the arrestor plate is resting on the rear of the front air deflector.
4.0 Permitted Fuels The quality of the firewood you burn can have a considerable effect on the performance of the Waimakariri ULEB. Moisture content, tree species, and log size are the main factors that affect the emissions that are produced by any wood burner.
5.0 Operational Sequence (For various steps refer images shown in the bracket) 5.1 Before First Light-up Make sure that all the packing material has been removed from the combustion chambers. Make sure the catalytic combustor and stainless steel flame arrestor plate are installed correctly. Please note that the special high-temperature paint is used in the firebox that will emit some smoke as it cures during the initial two to three sessions of running.
5.2.3 Main load and controlling output 9. Around 40~45 mins, when the intermediate load 2 is burnt more than 50%, switch the damper to the “OPEN” position and open the door for loading the main load. 10. Add 3 large size logs and close the main door. 11.
6.0 Catalytic Combustor 6.1 How it works The Waimakariri ULEB uses a catalytic combustor to reduce emissions more effectively and control burn rates. This combustor is fitted in the front top portion of the firebox, above the front baffle in the exhaust gas stream. This combustor is made of thin high-grade stainless steel sheets encased in a thicker outer body and is coated with a hi-tech chemical composition.
6.3 Inspection of the Catalytic Combustor CAUTION: Inspect the combustor only when the burner is cold. The catalytic combustor used in the Waimakariri ULEB should be inspected periodically to ensure that it is not clogged and or damaged. A non-functioning combustor will affect heating efficiency and will increase emissions. Soot or darker granular material generated due to improper operation or poor quality fuel can lead to clogging of the combustor.
Method 2 – In-situ Cleaning using a vacuum cleaner Use a vacuum cleaner in low to medium suction mode to remove any build-up of fly-ash accumulated on the surface of the combustor. Never use high pressured air to blow the cells of any build-up. It can damage the cell walls. Both methods 1 &...
