Bladder
Principle of the Bladder
The Bladder of the Model 600 CSS operates on the same principles outlined in the “Bladder Assembly” section of the Operators and Maintenance Manual. It is located behind the upper front access door. Remove the thumbnut and the cover lifts out to reveal the bladder.
Refer to the “Bladder Assembly” section of the Operators and Maintenance Manual for information on:
1) Operation of the bladder
2) Filling the bladder with water
3) Maintenance of the bladder
The Model 600 CSS bladder should be approximately ¾ full at normal operating temperatures.
Removal and Replacement of the Bladder
Do not attempt replacement unless furnace water temperature is less than 100°F (38°C)
1) Turn off the bladder gate valve located behind the top front access door.
2) Remove the bladder cover plate by loosening the thumbnut and pulling out the plate.
3) Loosen the hose clamp from the bladder gate valve.
4) Pull the bladder hose from the gate valve and allow the water from the bladder to drain. USE CAUTION! THIS WATER CAN BE WARM.
5) Remove the old bladder and re-install the new bladder.
6) Push the new bladder hose onto the bladder gate valve and tighten the hose clamp.
7) Open the bladder gate valve and then refer to “Filling the Bladder with Water” from the Bladder
Assembly section of the Operators and Maintenance Manual to rell the bladder to the correct level.

Fire Door
Principles of the Fire Door
The Model 600 CSS re door is water cooled to prevent warping of the door. It also absorbs heat from the re and transfers heat to the water,
adding a heat-exchanging surface. Because it is water cooled, the outer surface will never be hotter than the water in the furnace.
Removal and Replacement
If your re door needs to be removed or replaced on your Model 600
CSS, please contact your local dealer for assistance.
Opening the Fire Door
It is important to always stand behind the re door when opening it. Open the door just slightly to allow air to the rebox. This clears the rebox of smoke that may be lingering in the rebox. Once the smoke is evacuated from the rebox it is safe to open the door fully,
always standing behind the door for safety. Refer to the “Safe Furnace Operation Guidelines” section of the Operators and Maintenance manual for further instruction on safe opening
of the re door.
Refer to Safe Operating Guidelines for further instructions on how to safely open and close the re door or contact your local dealer. Ask for a demonstration.

Adjustment of the Model 600 CSS Fire Door
The re door hinges of the Model 600 CSS are stronger, more permanent, hinges than the residential models.
Unlike the residential models, the hinges are not utilized for adjustment.
There are two major parts that make up the re door of the Model 600 CSS, the door water jacket and the
door-mounting frame. The water jacket is mounted to the door frame with three one inch threaded studs and held in place with two jamb nuts and two washers on each stud. When making adjustments, it is important not to loosen more than two studs at a time. The holes in the doorframe are larger than the studs to allow for movement required to align the door with the doorframe. Please follow the recommended instructions for
proper adjustment of the re door or contact your local dealer for further details.
If there is smoke leakage around the re door at any point, and the gasket has been found to not be the
problem, the door should be adjusted. Prolonged exposure to smoke and heat can cause permanent damage
to the re door gasket, magnify leakage problems, and create safety concerns. If the door seems to be aligned properly with the re door frame, adjusting the re door towards the re door frame will likely solve the leakage
problem. Using a socket, loosen the outer and inner nuts located on the horizontal door support arm. This will
move the door towards the rebox creating a tighter seal between the door seal gasket and doorframe. Once
the door has been adjusted to the correct depth, the inner and outer nuts should, once again, be tightened against each other to hold the door in that position.
Alignment of the Fire Door
1) The re door should be positioned over the re door frame so that there is an equal distance between the re door and the re door frame on all four sides. Generally, this can be achieved by
returning the three adjustment studs to the center of their respective holes. The model
600 CSS re door is heavy; safe adjustment can be done with the assistance of a
hydraulic or manual jack and a small pry bar. Loosen the doorframe jamb nuts just enough to allow the door to move. Center the door vertically in the frame. Move the door horizontally right to left with the use of a small prybar between the door mounting frame and a jamb nut. When the water jacket is centered on the doorframe, the jamb nuts should all be tightened.
2) The next procedure is to seat the door water jacket evenly around the re door frame. It is best to start with the water jacket away from the re door frame approximately a 1/4”.
3) If the right side of the door is not seated against the re door, loosen the top right adjustment, rst
the outer jamb nut, then the inner jamb nut may be turned until the water jacket is seated about 1/8” into the silicone seal.
4) Follow the same procedure on the bottom adjustment until the right edge is seated evenly. Now tighten the bottom adjustment.
5) To ensure the left side of the door is sealed, follow the same procedure as the right side with left side adjustment only.

Remember: When adjusting the seating of the re door, loosen only one adjustment at a time.
After completion, make sure all jam nuts are tight.
Fire Door Chain
The re door chain prevents the outer door of the Model 600 CSS from swinging open uncontrollably. It is
recommended to install a post to the side of the furnace, to secure the outer door from opening or closing during
loading and maintenance procedures. See the “Site Preparation Specications” drawings further on in this
supplement.
Fire door Latch
Principles of the Fire Door Latch
The purpose of the re door latch is to secure the re door during operation. The re
door latch is not adjustable on the Model 600 CSS.
Fill Line
The purpose of the Fill Line is to avoid a situation where the furnace is overlled with wood. An over lled furnace will smoke more than one that has been properly lled with wood. A properly lled furnace will have less problems with debris in the
secondary airbox.
Combustion Blower Power Switch
Principle of the Combustion Blower Power Switch
The Combustion Blower Power Switch is located at the front of the unit, making it easy to switch the blowers on or off during loading or maintenance.
Removal and Replacement
To remove the Combustion Blower Power Switch, use the following steps:
1) Turn off the main electrical power supply to the HEATMOR™.
2) Remove the switch cover plate.
3) Make a sketch of the location of the wires on the switch.
4) Remove the wires and replace the switch.
5) Replace the wires to the original locations.
6) Secure the cover plate.
7) Turn the main electrical power supply back on to the HEATMOR™.
Note: It is recommended to contact a licensed electrician to perform the above operation.

Combustion Air Blowers
The model 600 CSS has two 150 CFM blowers. The blower on the left,
also called the primary air, delivers air to the re from below the grates.
The blower on the right, also known as the secondary air, delivers air
into the rebox by means of an airbox on the inside, rear, wall of the rebox. The airow of each blower is adjustable by means of a damper installed on each. This adjustable air ow is key to getting the most efciency from your model 600 CSS Outdoor Furnace.
Principle
Refer to the “Wood” section of the Operators and Maintenance Manual to gain a better understanding of how wood burns and the stages of combustion.
The air delivery of the model 600 CSS is different than the residential models because it supplies air to two
areas of the re. The primary air is supplied under the re and is responsible for creating smoke and getting
the temperature above 500°F. The secondary air is introduced into this smoke above the wood stack allowing
the smoke to combust, creating higher re temperatures and less smoke.
Air Supply
Depending on the type of wood fuel used, different amounts of primary and secondary air are required for optimal
efciency. For example, small pieces of wood (high surface area) with low moisture content requires a small amount
of primary air and a large amount of secondary air. If the opposite is done, with this type of fuel, an over-fueling
situation will likely exist and the furnace will lose efciency and smoke more. Cordwood with high moisture (30 - 40 percent) will likely require a lot of primary air and medium to large amounts of secondary air. A properly red furnace will operate at optimum efciency with the least amount of visible exhaust. Once the operator is familiar with their
type of fuel, they will not need to adjust the dampers on the fans.
Operation
The blowers are controlled by the “Water Temperature Range Control” aquastat. When the water temperature reaches the low set point of the aquastat, the aquastat will supply power to the fans until the water temperature reaches the high set point of the aquastat. When the high set point is reached, the aquastat terminates the
power supply to the fans. The dampers on the blowers give control over the airow while the aquastat is
supplying power to the blowers.
Maintenance
Refer to the “Air Supply” section of the Operators and Maintenance Manual fur further information on maintaining the air combustion blowers.

Secondary Air Box
Operation
The Secondary Airbox is located along the rear, interior, rebox wall.
It is a means to direct air from the secondary combustion air blower to
the upper area of the rebox. This is how smoke from the re can be
ignited. Do not stack anything over the opening of the secondary airbox as poor combustion could occur.
Anti-Rollout Device (A.R.D.) and Auger Tube
THE A.R.D. MUST OPERATE PERFECTLY OR PROBLEMS QUICKLY ARISE.
Anti-Rollout Device
Principle
The Anti-Rollout Device (A.R.D.) is a safety feature that allows air into the rebox before the main re door is opened. Along with normal, recommended, safe re door opening practices, the risk of a ash back is greatly
reduced.
Operation
The A.R.D. opens and closes automatically with the operation of the outer door.
Maintenance / Result
Ensure ash, shavings or small wood pieces do not become lodged in the A.R.D. Make sure that the spring on the auger
tube cover is working properly. This ensures a compression t
of the cover to the auger tube. If the A.R.D. is not closing 100 percent, a constant air leak will allow air to continually fuel
the re. This will cause a smoldering re resulting in creosote,
boiling, and premature warping of the ashpan grates.
Ash Auger Tube
Principles
The Anti-Rollout Device also serves as the ash auger tube. Opening the outer door will expose the auger tube. The auger tube cover is located under the front outer door of the furnace. The cover must have a good seal against the auger tube.

Ash Removal
1) When removing ashes, always turn off the combustion air blowers.
2) Open the outer door, which releases the auger tube cover plate.
3) Insert the ash auger and remove the ashes.
Supply Line and Return Line Threaded Connectors
There are two 1.5” Supply line and two 1.5” Return line threaded connectors (female NPT) located at the back
of the Model 600 CSS. A brass nipple should be used to connect any ttings to the threaded spuds. Refer to
the “Supply Line and Return Line Threaded Connectors” section in the Operators and Maintenance Manual.
Low Water Cutoff
Principles
The low water Cutoff (located above the ue) shuts down power to the fans
when the water in the furnace is low.
The only way to restore power to the fans is to ll the furnace with water.
Do not ll a warm furnace with cold water.
Outer Door
Operation
The outer door on the rebox is hinged and latched separately from the internal re
door. The door is hinged and opens to the right of the furnace. As the door opens it
releases the A.R.D. auger tube cover plate, which allows air to enter the rebox before the re door is opened, reducing the risk of a ashback. It is strongly recommended that
a post is installed to the outside corner of the opened door to fasten the back and front external doors secure while in the open position. This reduces the risk of injury caused by the sudden movement of either large door (see drawing supplied).
