OPERATING MANUAL
ASH REMOVAL
HOW TO EMPTY THE S-SERIES UNITS
We recommend removing the ash every morning before burning operations begin.
This will give you maximum capacity in the firebox and the ash will be easier to han-
dle.
The box will operate with up to 3 feet of ash inside, but as the ash gets deeper the ef-
ficiency of the unit goes down. Three feet of ash would represent approximately 20
hours of burning. The box should not be run with over 3 feet of ash inside.
There are generally three ways to empty the ash: (1) by use of Air Burners' Ash
Rake, (2) by excavating it out and (3) by dragging the unit forward.
ASH RAKE
Air Burners offers an ash removal implement (ash rake) designed for each model Fire-
Box as pictured below. The ash rake is fitted with a universal quick connect faceplate
or blank faceplate for installation on your machine.
"scoop" or two with the Ash Rake is all that is required. This will leave a very hot em-
ber base from which you begin the new day with a "hot start" as explained previously.
DANGER:
When removing ashes from the FireBox, make sure that no hot ash-
es, embers, burning or hot materials are carried by the wind to places where they
could start a fire! Wear appropriate PROTECTIVE GEAR.
You can remove some or all of the ash by reaching in through the
rear doors with the ash rake and dragging the ash out. Remem-
ber to use the appropriate breathing apparatus, and be cau-
tious of the remaining hot embers. It is not required to remove
all the ash if you are planning on a restart, generally just a
