P43 Maintenance - cleaning the Feeder body

Pellet fines may accumulate in the feeder body over

a period of time; therefore, a yearly inspection and

cleaning of this area must be performed.

To clean out fines:

1. Remove the rear cover panels.

2. Remove wing nut and feeder cover on the

side of the feeder.

3. Use a vacuum cleaner to remove all fines.

4. Reinstall feed cover, wing nut, and rear

cover panels.

Safety Features

The low draft sensor which is a vacuum differential switch, monitors the negative pressure (draft) in the

firebox through a port on the rear of the feeder. Poor draft will result in an interruption of power to the

feeder and the igniter. Poor draft can be caused by blockage in the exhaust, excessive build-up on the

combustion blower fan blades, a failed combustion blower, or a door or other opening to the firebox not

sealed properly. The hopper lid position switch, located in the right rear corner of the hopper opening,

will also interrupt power to the feeder and igniter if the hopper lid is not closed properly. The circuit

board is monitoring the position of these switches. During a feed cycle, if either of these switches were

to open, the feed motor light on the control will stay illuminated with the power being interrupted by the

switch. If the switch opens when the cycle is at rest, the power lights for the feed motor or igniter will not

illuminate. Be sure all doors, including the hopper lid, are securely closed when operating the appliance

.
