Ash Cleaning

The Ash bin must be cleaned whenever the ash level in the bin
reaches 75% of the bin height. Under continuous full power operation on
low ash content fuels, the ash bin will require emptying every two (2) to
three (3) days.
Note: Ash bin fill rates vary with fuel type ash content.
The MX-900B Unit should be cleaned of ash deposits every 2 to 3
weeks of operation. In general, the ash cleaning frequency is dependent on
the type of fuel being burned, and the rate of fuel consumption. The
experience you gain on your type of fuel, and its ash production
characteristics, will enable you to assess and establish your ash cleaning
schedule.
Fire Hazard. Ash and/or residue may ignite outside of the
combustion chamber. In the event of a fire:
• Press Emergency Stop Button
• Use Fire Extinguisher to contain fire
• Contact your local Fire Department
Fire Hazard. Collect ashes in a non-combustible container with a
tight-fitting lid. Do not place waste other than ashes in same
container.
Surfaces may be Hot! Please wear full coverage protective
clothing , shoes, leather gloves, and safety glasses when
performing routine maintenance on your MX-900B.
