Installation (For Qualified Installers Only) 7
Before You Begin
READ THIS ENTIRE MANUAL BEFORE YOU INSTALL AND USE THIS HEATER.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE,
BODILY INJURY, OR EVEN DEATH.
Check with local building officials for any permits required for installation of this pellet heater and notify
your insurance company before proceeding with installation.
Packing List
• Thermostat & Wire • Scraper Rod Tool • Brush • Spare Fuse • Bottle Brush • Door Tool
• (2) Floor Mounting Brackets
Installation Options
• Residential or Mobile Home (see the section "Mobile Home Requirements")
• Alcove Compatible (see the section "Alcove Installation")
• Horizontal or Vertical Vent
• Outside Air Compatible
• Vent with L-Vent, L-Vent Fireplace Liner, or Type A Chimney (with adapter)
Planning The Installation
HINT: Have an authorized Travis Industries dealer install this heater. If you install the heater
yourself, have your dealer review your installation plans.
HINT: Sketch out a detailed plan of the installation including dimensions. Then verify the
dimensions with the requirements listed in this manual.
HINT: When determining the location of the stove, locate the wall studs (for horizontal
penetrations) and ceiling trusses (for vertical penetrations). You may wish to adjust the
stove position slightly to ensure the vent does not intersect with a framing member.
HINT: Place the heater outside and load 10 pounds of pellets inside the hopper. Plug the
heater in and let it run on HIGH until the pellets run out. This will cure the paint and burn
off any oil on the steel, eliminating any smell inside the home.
Stove Placement
• Stove must be placed so that no combustibles are within, or can swing within (e.g. drapes,
doors), 36" of the front of the heater.
• If the stove is placed in a location where the ceiling height is less than 7', it must follow the
requirements in the section "Alcove Installation Requirements".
HINT: REDUCING CLEARANCES - Clearances may be reduced by methods specified in NFPA
211, listed wall shields, pipe shields, or other means approved by local building or fire
officials.
• Heater and floor protection must be installed on a level, secure floor.
Floor Protection Requirements
• The heater must be installed on a non-combustible floor protector extending the full width
and depth of the heater and extending 6" in front (minimum 27-3/4" wide by 31" deep)
(minimum .018" thick - 26 gauge) .
• Must extend under and 2" to each side and rear of a "Tee" (if used).

Mobile Home Requirements
• Outside air is required (used for
combustion) - see the directions
below.
• The heater must be bolted to the
floor (Some states do not require
this; check with your local building
department). See the illustration
to the right.
• The heater must be grounded to
the steel chassis of the mobile
home (Some states do not require
this; check with your local building
department).
WARNING: DO NOT INSTALL IN
SLEEPING ROOM.
CAUTION: THE STRUCTURAL
INTEGRITY OF THE
MANUFACTURED HOME
FLOOR, WALL, AND
CEILING/ROOF MUST BE
MAINTAINED.
The leveling bolts in the legs may be used
in conjunction with the included clips (sku
210-03924) to secure the stove to the floor.
Outside Air (used for combustion)
• Must not be drawn from an enclosed space (garage, unventilated crawl space).
HINT: Travis Industries strongly suggests outside air for all residential installations, especially for
those that are energy efficient, air-tight homes.
• Must not be over 15' long (the kit includes a 4’ length – additional 3” diameter duct may be used).
• Must be made with 3" diameter or larger metal or aluminum duct with a metal screen attached to
the end to keep out rodents (P.V.C. or other combustible materials may not be used). We
recommend the Travis Industries Outside Air Kit (part # 99200136).
• Must not terminate above or within 1' of the chimney termination.
• Must have a rain cap or down-turned elbow to prevent water from entering.
• Must be located so that it will not become plugged by snow or other material.
A screen is required to prevent
rodents from entering.
3” Diameter Air Duct
Air may be drawn from a ventilated crawl space.
Outside air entrance must be placed so it
does not become blocked by snow.
Botttom of Stove
Use a hose clamp to secure the
aluminum air duct to the air inlet
flange on the stove.

12 Installation (For Qualified Installers Only)
Alcove Installation Requirements
When the pellet stove is placed in a location where the ceiling height is less than 7' tall, it is considered
an alcove installation. Because of the reduced height, the requirements listed below must be met.
• Minimum height is 55"
• Minimum width is 41-1/4"
Baffle Installation
Install the baffles included with the stove (see page 31 for details).
Door Seal Verification
The door is aligned prior to leaving the factory. However, shipping and installation may cause the door to
become mis-aligned. Verify the door is correctly aligned and seals properly (see the section "Door Seal"
under Yearly Maintenance).
Restrictor Adjustment
The restrictor “fine tunes” your appliance, ensuring it pulls the correct amount of air through the
firebox. Altitude, vent configuration, and other factors make restrictor adjustment necessary for every
installation.
NOTE : the optimal restrictor position will vary over time as soot builds up inside the exhaust system –
make sure the homeowner knows how to visually inspect the flame and adjust the restrictor.
• Maximum depth is 48"
• Minimum clearance of 7" on each side and 3" on back
Not Enough Air
If clinkers (ashes that solidify into a
clump) develop or the flame appears
lazy and slow to blow the ash out of the
firepot, pull the restrictor outward until
the flame becomes active and the
firepot holes remain clean. NOTE: If the
restrictor is fully out, yet the firepot does
not remain clean, the stove needs to be
cleaned and checked for air leaks (see
“Maintenance” section of this manual).
Too Much Air
If the flames are too active (small,
flickering flames) or if burning pellets are
expelled from the firepot, move the
restrictor rod inwards until the flame
slows down and no burning pellets are
expelled. Another symptom of too
much air is the heater “blowing the fire
out” – a condition in which the pellets
burn faster than they are fed (this is most
common on low).
