| PROBLEM: | Incomplete combustion, unburned fuel. |
| SOLUTION: | 1. Adjust air shutter to a more open position. |
| 2. Make sure of correct chimney, is chimney drafting? |
| Is the chimney direct vented? Is it a tight basement? |
| Outside air may be needed. What is fuel moisture? |
PROBLEM: | Burns fuel too quickly and may have difficulty holding a fire |
SOLUTION: | on pilot. |
Adjust air shutter to a more closed position. If that doesn’t | |
| solve the problem, check for an over drafting chimney by |
| using a draft gauge. To solve over drafting use the following |
| procedures: |
| Masonry Chimney: Cover top with a plate and mount a |
| 4” cap. If that doesn’t slow it down, use a barometric |
| damper. |
| Pellet Vent: Install a barometric damper. |
PROBLEM: | Smoking |
SOLUTION: | Make sure that the chimney is not direct vented on a windy |
| side of the house. Also check gaskets to insure proper sealing. Adjust |
| damper opening, might be too far closed. |
| Is heat exchanger clean? Is chimney clean? |
PROBLEM: | Auger squeaks |
SOLUTION: | Adjust pillow block bearing by loosening screws on each side. |
| Let auger run for one minute. Tighten screws. Auger should |
| realign itself. Possible build up of carbon on end of auger where it |
| enters burnpot. |
PROBLEM: | Decrease in heat output |
SOLUTION: | Thoroughly clean heat exchanger. Did you start using |
| different fuel? Shutter on draft fan moved? |
| OPERATOR RELATED PROBLEMS |
PROBLEM: | Feed system does not lock in. |
SOLUTION: | Repeat start up using more fuel. |
PROBLEM: | Furnace will not start up after power outage. |
SOLUTION: | Depress blower manual reset. |
