TROUBLE-SHOOTING
FEEDINGPROBLEMS
Wet Coal -- Wet coal does not flow the same as dry coal. There- fore, the feed rate will change with wet coal. If it is too wet, it may not feed at all. Wet coalcan also cause a sulfur odor.
Wrong Size Coal-- The Verti-Flow System is designed to burn rice (or buckwheat coalif rice is not available) If buckwheat coalis burned, raise the draft setting from .04to .06. Larger coalwill not feed orburn properly.
Hopper Blocked -- Sometimes wood, paper, or other foreign objects accidently end up in yourcoalbin and can slow down or block the flow of coal. You may have to empty the hopper to find the block- age.
Pusher Out OfAdjustment-- Thiscan happenwhen morethan one person tends the stoker. One person does not tell others what adjustmentsweremade.
Gas Alarm Buzzes or Sulfur OdorExists -- A sulfur smellmay be noticed when the top door is opened duringoperation with wet or damp coal. This isnormal. However, it is notrecommended that wet coal be used or the top door be opened for more than a few seconds whileburningtoinspect thefire.
