from turning. (Fig. 30) Keep making adjustments a little
at a time until the setting is right.
The front doors of the stove should close securely and
tightly, when the handle is in the closed position. When
the latch is properly adjusted there should be a slight
resistance as the doors are moved to the completely
closed position.

Tighten the Damper handle as Needed
The damper handle is attached to the damper rod
with a set screw bearing against a flat spot on the rod.
Check the set screw periodically for tightness; tighten
as needed.
Damper adjustment
When the stove damper is closed, the pressure of the
rod against the damper plate assures a good seal be-
tween the damper and the damper housing. Adjustment
may be needed after a period of time to retain adequate
pressure.
To make this adjustment, start with the damper in the
closed and locked position. (Fig. 31) Loosen the 7/16"
locking nut in the center of the damper. Use a 1/8" Allen
wrench to turn the Allen screw a full turn clockwise. Test
the damper for snugness, and continue adjusting the
Allen screw as needed. Tighten the 7/16" locking nut
when the damper operates smoothly but firmly.
