Grates and Firebrick

Lay the two grate inserts into the grate holder as shown. Divide the spaces between the grates equally and be sure they are not tight. The spaces are needed for expansion. The grate inserts can also be installed or removed after the feeder is in place.

Place the two firebricks on the grate angle and make the two bolts snug on the adapter plate as shown.

Apply 1 inch flat gasket around the feeder opening and insert the feeder and adapter plate into the boiler and tighten. NOTE: You will need a 3/4” socket to do this.

Blower

Remove one of the screws on the intake screen, and install the blower restrictor plate. Install the blower on the bottom of the feeder by sliding it into the bracket as far as it will go. NOTE: The bolt holes on the blower flange are not used.

Control Box

Install the control box on mounting pad provided on the side of the stoker with (4) #8-32 bolts and nuts.

Plug the gear motor into the top receptacle, and the combustion blower into the middle receptacle on the control box. The bottom receptacle is not used.

Hopper

Insert small end of hopper into the hopper slot on the feeder. Push top of hopper under the hopper support, causing the slot on the bottom side of the support to hook onto the hopper. The hopper support will spring up slightly for the hopper to go under. If you have dif- ficulty getting the hopper under, you can raise the top slightly.

The feed motor cover can now be installed.
