Page 31: Pump Installation
PUMP INSTALLATION Orientation The pump is best installed oriented with its outlet pointing Wiring upwards. If installing the pump upright is not possible, the pump can be installed on its side. Please note that a pump We recommend wiring the pump into a 12v control circuit installed on its side may suffer from increased wear over time with a 5 amp fuse so that power to the pump can be and can result in limited pressure. -
Page 32: Draft Assist Fan Wiring
DRAFT ASSIST FAN WIRING This appliance is equipped with a 12v draft assist fan. While running the fan is not required in order to light and operate the appliance, it is strongly recommended as it will offer you a greater degree of control over the quality of combustion in the burner. When to use the draft assist fan Use the fan during light-up, for higher fuel settings or if conditions are unusually windy. -
Page 33: Hot Water Coils
HOT WATER COILS Dickinson Natural Draft Diesel appliances have the option of adding a water coil to supply hot water. Appliances can be purchased with a water coil already installed, or a coil can be retrofitted to an existing appliance. - Page 34 Additionally it is strongly recommended that everyone putting a natural draft appliance into operation familiarizes themselves with the diesel appliance install, maintenance and operating video guides published by Dickinson Marine.

FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE LIGHTING WARNING: If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing property damage, personal injury, or loss of life. • An appliance if the metering valve shows signs of overflow This appliance is equipped with a natural draft breeze burner •... - Page 37 LIGHTING-UP PROCEDURE FUEL SETTINGS ------------------------------------------ FAN SETTINGS 1. Priming the burner Open the shut-off valve at the fuel tank and set the metering valve control 5 - 10 knob to its highest setting (# 5) min. Priming the burner will take between 5-10 minutes. The burner is primed once a pool of fuel roughly 2.5-3 inches in diameter has formed inside it.
- Page 38 LIGHTING-UP PROCEDURE cont’d FUEL SETTINGS ------------------------------------------ FAN SETTINGS 5. Accumulating heat At this stage, even though the appliance has been burning for some time, we’re still building up heat inside the burner. It can take around an hour or more for heat to spread evenly throughout the appliance. Adjusting fuel settings too high before sufficient heat has accumulated in the burner will result in incomplete combustion and soot.
- Page 39 THE IMPORTANCE OF THE FUEL AIR MIXTURE It’s easy to underestimate the importance of air flow when operating a natural draft diesel appliance. In order for a natural draft diesel appliance to operate safely and burn cleanly without soot or smoke, adequate air flow into the cabin is vital.
- Page 40 OPERATING TIPS Always clean new and old metering valves alike before first Some fans have low amperage motors and need to have their use (see page 43 for instructions) Clean the valve at the speed controls turned up to a high setting to initiate spinning beginning of each season, anytime the appliance has sat of the fan blades.
-
Page 41: Barometric Damper Settings
BAROMETRIC DAMPER SETTINGS The burner will require less air when operating at lower fuel settings. Having too much air on low fuel settings may cause the flames to drop down into the burner pot. Reductions in air can be managed by turning off the fan or adjusting the barometric damper. -
Page 42: Maintenance
5. MAINTENANCE SYSTEM MAINTENANCE Understanding how to go about maintaining a natural draft diesel appliance is simplified if you learn to view the installation as a single system – it is best viewed as a single system that converts liquid diesel fuel into heat & exhaust. When we consider the install as a single system, we can see that ensuring flow through the whole system is crucial to its trouble-free operation. -
Page 43: Fuel Filter Maintenance
FUEL FILTER MAINTENANCE FUEL LINE MAINTENANCE FUEL FILTERS FUEL LINE A fuel filter is required for the installation of a natural draft appliance in order Deposits of carbon and dust from the burn chamber will collect to keep naturally occurring diesel fuel contaminants out of the fuel lines and inside the fuel line leading to the burner from the metering the moving parts inside the metering valve. - Page 44 VALVE MAINTENANCE Valve maintenance The job of the metering valve is to maintain a steady oil level within the valve & burner, and to precisely meter out the correct amounts of fuel for each numbered fuel setting. In order to function as intended, the metering valve must be kept clean.
-
Page 45: Fuel Pump Maintenance
FUEL PUMP MAINTENANCE FIG 89 FIG 87 FUEL PUMPS In order to supply the appliance reliably a fuel pump must receive filtered fuel. It is best to orient the fuel pump so that it must draw fuel upwards from a source below. -
