CONFIRM CUP AND AUGER MOTOR OPERATION
Place a jumper wire between the leads to the safety disc located on the exhaust
flange. Set the main power switch to "feed system". Both the cup and auger motor
should start now. If the motors run but the fuel metering cup and/or auger do not
turn, check the cast iron couplers to make certain that the set screw is tight or that a
coupler has not snapped off. NOTE: Anytime you are checking the motors, you should
verify the speed at which motors are turning. This can be accomplished by timing the
revolution of the coupler. Using the setscrew as a reference the bottom motor (Auger)
will make one revolution in 10 seconds. The top motor (cup) will make approximately
one revolution every 45 seconds. Remove jumper wire and plug wire leads back to
safety disc.

PROBLEM:
SOLUTION:
Incomplete combustion, unburned fuel.
1.
Adjust air shutter to a more open position.
2. Make sure of correct chimney, is chimney drafting?
Is the chimney direct vented? Is it a tight basement?
Outside air may be needed. What is fuel moisture?
Burns fuel too quickly and may have difficulty holding
a fire on pilot.
Adjust air shutter to a more closed position. If that doesn't
solve the problem, check for an over drafting chimney by
using a draft gauge. To solve over drafting use the following
procedures:
Masonry Chimney: Cover top with a plate and mount a
4" cap. If that doesn't slow it down, use a barometric
damper.
Pellet Vent: Install a barometric damper.
Smoking
Make sure that the chimney is not direct vented on a windy
side of the house. Also check gaskets to insure proper sealing.
Adjust damper opening, might be too far closed.
Is heat exchanger clean? Is chimney clean?
Auger squeaks
Adjust pillow block bearing by loosening screws on each side.
