- Page 4 BOILER INSTALLATION THIS BOILER MUST BE INSTALLED BY A QUALIFIED INSTALLER. To insure the boiler is on a level foundation and above any possible dampness, a concrete pad is recommended. The ash pit and boiler are then set on this pad. We recommend a layer of split firebrick be placed in the bottom as shown in diagram 1.
- Page 5 WOOD (COAL) When starting a wood fire in the Newmac Boiler, turn toggle switch 5 to the OFF or wood only position. The dual aquastat 2, set at 180ºF, will cause the draft fan to operate. When the boiler water temperature reaches 180ºF it will shut the draft fan off.

TYPES OF COMBUSTION AIR FOR WOOD HEATING Unlike older airtight box heating appliances, low emission furnaces have more than one location and control for supplying combustion air into the firebox.
- Page 7 For safe operating procedures for solid fuel operation, refer to the notice label on the furnace. The furnace room must have adequate air for combustion. If the unit is in a confined space, one square inch of free air access for every 1,000 BTU must be provided. ...

- Page 9 COAL BURNING TIPS Burn ONLY anthracite (hard) coal of the “chestnut” size. Bituminous (soft) coal is not recommended because it has a high ash and sulphur content which means more cleaning and greater pollution. Also bituminous coal produces excessive smoke and an excessive amount of dirt and ash which will plug the heating unit and the flue pipe possibly causing smoke damage or danger of carbon monoxide poisoning.
- Page 10 Clinker formation can occur from a number of different causes or a combination of causes. Some of these are as follows: Too hot a fire (too much draft); Too shallow a bed of coals; Too deep a bed of coals; Excess shaking;...
- Page 11 Runaway Fire This can be caused by too high a flue draft or excessive fuelling. Close all sources of air to the boiler. Be sure draft fan is turned off. Set the barometric draft regulator wide open to reduce draft. PREPARATION OF WOOD ONCE I HAVE MY WOOD AT HOME, HOW DO I PREPARE IT FOR BURNING?

- Page 12 required for evaporation, these gases are cooler and more likely to condense than would be the case with dry wood. Charcoal may be found more readily if the unit is overcharged particularly in milder weather. With overcharging (too much wood in unit) the draft fan will be off a greater percentage of time, coals will be formed which will become covered with ash in turn will smother the coals to form charcoal.
- Page 13 insulated, pre-fabricated metal chimney has the least serious creosote problems; its insulation helps maintain higher temperatures on its inner surface, and its low heat capacity allows it to warm up very quickly after a fire is started. Masonry chimneys frequently accumulate deposits at the beginnings of fires and their interior surfaces take a longer time to warm because the construction is so massive.
- Page 14 THE NEWMAC COMBINATION OIL AND WOOD FURNACE toasts the wood to charcoal and the charcoal burns to dust leaving a minute amount of residue. From the above heat values, it can be seen that a cord of Hickory wood is equivalent to $248.22 (@ $0.30 per litre) worth of oil, over twice as much as you would pay for a cord of wood.

- Page 16 Diagram #2 NON-COMBUSTIBLE BASE Note: This unit is designed and approved to be placed on a non-combustible floor. This diagram shows how such a typical base can be made if the boiler room has a combustible floor. Consult also CMHC Bulletin NHA 5178 78/08, Heating with Wood Safely. Also consult local authorities before installing units in rooms with combustible floors.

Where can I purchase a boiler brush #2170010 in Canada?
There is a 1 1/4" nut inside the tube chamber just below the tubes that is leaking. It is marked with an E. Can This be replaced? If so what is the part number?
