Unpack the Stove

• Hex Head Leg bolts with washers, 4
• #10 x 1/2” sheet metal screws, 3

Install Stove Legs
Leg installation will be accomplished most easily with
the help of an assistant who can tilt the stove onto its
side while you attach the legs.
1. With your assistant holding the stove up on its side,
remove the slotted screws from the leg mounting
holes at each corner of the stove bottom.
2. Install two legs, using the hex head bolts with wash-
ers from the parts bag. The shoulder of the legs
should seat within the locator bosses cast into the
stove bottom at each corner. (Fig. 22) Tighten the
bolts with the wrench. CAUTION: Overtighening
can strip tapped threads.
3. With your assistant, lift the stove up onto its legs and
hold it in a tilted position to install the remaining two
legs with washers and hex bolts.
Install the Ashlip
Use a 7/16” wrench to secure the Ashlip to the stove
bottom with two, 1/4-20 x 5/8” hex head screws and
washers found in the holes used to attach the ashlip.

Install the Outside Air Adapter
The optional #1897 Outside Air Adapter provides a col-
lar to which a 3 inch diameter air duct may be attached
directly to the air inlet area at the back of the stove. The
adapter should be attached to the stove before a bot-
tom or rear heat shield is installed.

Remove the phillips head screw located just above
the primary air inlet at the back of the stove.
