Please observe the following “Clearance to Combustibles” guidelines. If you have any further questions, which are not addressed in this Operators Manual, please contact your local dealer for further information.
  • Page 17: Warnings And Precautions

    7) Before installing the HEATMOR™ furnace, contact and inform your insurance agent. 8) The HEATMOR™ Outdoor Furnace is to be installed on a concrete base only. Any attempt to place the furnace on any other surface may void the warranty.
  • Page 18: B Electrical

    6) The red wire from the high-limit aquastat on the back of the HEATMOR™ should be wired to the indoor temperature control to override the thermostat. This will dissipate excess heat in the event of a possible malfunction with the HEATMOR™.

  • Page 24 CRIMP RING FILTER FROM SUPPLY HEATMOR WATER TANK In-Floor Heating: To install an In-Floor Heating system, hot water pipes are placed in the floor at the time your slab is poured. Water circulates through the tubing and heats the concrete which radiates and heats the building. Valves are used to control water flow in each loop, manual control valves are used between manifolds for temperature control, and electric zone valves are used for more even heat.

    Then close hopper door securely. 5) Keep the firebox door, ash pan cover plate, all three flue cover plates, hopper door, airbox cover plate and the outer doors of the HEATMOR™ furnace closed at all times except for servicing and refueling.
  • Page 27 15) Wear a particle mask when removing ashes. 16) Ash pan may be hot after removing ashes. 17) In case of power failure, do not open any doors on the HEATMOR™. Monitor the water temperature very closely. Refer to “freeze protection” in this manual.
  • Page 28: B Lighting Your Heatmor™ For The First Time

    PLEASE READ THROUGH ALL “LIGHTING YOUR HEATMOR™” STEPS BEFORE LIGHTING YOUR FURNACE. 1) Remove the weighted pop off ball from the relief vent pipe, on top of the HEATMOR™ furnace. 2) Close the green valve, supplying the bladder, located at the rear of the furnace.
  • Page 29: C Dew Point

    Just as moisture collects on the inside of a warm house window on a cold outside day, the same thing is occurring inside the HEATMOR firebox. The warm moisture in the exhaust is condensing on the cold firebox walls of the HEATMOR. In most typical situations, once the water temperature is above approximately 130 degrees Fahrenheit, the sweating will stop because you are above the dew point.
  • Page 30: E What Can I Burn

    What should I burn? this furnace is designed to burn soft or hard wood pellets OnLY. Wood pellets are generally made from compacted sawdust; they are usually a byproduct of saw milling or other wood transformation activities. They are very dense in formation and generally come in 40 pound bags. They will be either 6mm or 8mm in diameter.
  • Page 31: H Efficiency Measurements And Types Of Fires

    Because it is best to always keep a tight seal on the hopper door to prevent any possibilities of burn back. Q. Is it a good idea to put the front of my HEATMOR™ into my wood storage building so I can load the HEATMOR™ from inside? a.
  • Page 32 Buy the wood pellets by the pallet and you can store the pallets not too far from the HEATMOR™. Cover them if you wish. Use the tractor to bring the pallets to the front of the HEATMOR™, as you need them. Refer to the “Clearance to Combustibles”...
  • Page 33: Water

    Water Level Maintenance You can verify the water level of your HEATMOR™ by checking the fullness of the bladder. The water level gauge (“add water” weight) inside the front door should be up near the bladder, not down near the hopper.
  • Page 34: D Water Additives

    4) Pour the entire contents of the water treatment chemical, as supplied, into the HEATMOR™ furnace. 5) Top up your HEATMOR™ furnace with water, fill the bladder, and replace the pop off ball. Refer to “Filling the Bladder Initially” for details or contact your local dealer.

  • Page 39: Water Jacket

    Supply Line and Return Line Threaded Connectors Principles The HEATMOR™ furnace is designed to draw the supply (hot) water from the bottom of the water jacket. This may seem irregular (people know hot water rises), but this method mixes the water in the water jacket better and often extends pump life.
  • Page 40: Firebox And Other Components

    chaPter 12 FireBOX anD Other cOMPOnents Firebox and Firepot Principles of the Firebox and Firepot Wood pellets are burned inside the firebox firepot to generate heat. This heat is absorbed into the water in the water jacket. When the water is up to temperature and the combustion air blowers are off, the firebox must be airtight.

    This captures heat that would otherwise be lost out the chimney, assisting in the process of a more efficient burn. The 200 SSP has a tubed flue and all tubes should be maintained.
  • Page 48: Ashes

    Ash Management and Ash Removal 1) If ash management is deficient, the HEATMOR™ will not perform to its optimum. It is time well spent to ensure proper ash management. In the long run, the operator will be paid back many times over in higher efficiency and better performance.
  • Page 49: C Ash Pan Cover Plate

    The ash pan cover plate is a rectangular plate that is secured over the ash pan opening, creating an airtight seal. 200 SSP Operation 1) When removing ashes, always turn off combustion air blower and disconnect power. 2) Remove the two thumb nuts.

    To provide added safety and notification, when a high water temperature is reached, this aquastat will send electrical power to the “red wire”. The red wire leading from the HEATMOR™ back to the power source can be installed so the electrical power will sound an alarm or will override the comfortable heat settings within the heated building.
