Shell Assembly - Vermont Castings Stardance 3070 Homeowner's Installation And Operating Manual

Vermont Castings Stardance Direct Vent/Natural Vent Gas Heater

Shell Assembly

1. Attach the Rear Skirt to the Left End plate by aligning
the key holes with the two wingbolts in the side. If
necessary, turn the wingbolts to orient the blades
vertically. (Fig. 14) Slide the skirt downward to
engage it behind all three washers on the side plate
bolts and then tighten both wingbolts.
2. Attach the Right Side Plate to the Rear Skirt. (Fig.
15) Move this assembly close to the stove's final
position. Align the two side plates at right angles to
the Back Panel as in Figure 16.
NOTE: The firebox is shipped with three bolts and
spacers on the bottom to prevent any damage to the
bottom assembly. The two front bolts should be
removed after installation. Use a 7/16" wrench.
3. Lift the firebox assembly and slide it into the shell.
The base of the firebox should rest on the side
support shelves. (Fig. 16 & 17) The side plates
interlock with the firebox by use of a pair of steel tabs
that engage with the ribs on the base of the firebox.
(Fig. 17) Properly positioned, the firebox will be level
and locked in place. If not, adjust the levelling screw
in the foot of each leg as needed.
