Installation & Operations
Quick Start Guide
The information in this Quick Start Guide is intended to give a better explanation of how
the new Revolution Burn System works and should be used along with the information
given in the regular stove manual.
How to adjust the Lincoln SCR for different Fuels?
The Lincoln SCR is approved for 6 fuels. They are Pellets, Cherry Pits, Corn, Wheat, Rye and
Distiller’s Grain pellets. Read pages 38 and 39 for information on choosing the correct program
for the fuel of choice.
They are grouped in 2 categories:
1 – Pellets and Cherry Pits, lower in Moisture Content and easy to ignite.
2 – Corn, Wheat, Rye and Distillers Grain, these fuels are higher in Moisture Content and
therefore more difficult to start.
The Lincoln SCR basically has 2 operating modes:
1 - Manual Mode. In this mode the operator of the Lincoln SCR is involved with starting the
unit, and is available to monitor the start-up process of the Lincoln SCR. This mode includes the
Manual position and the T-Stat thermostat position. Only the ON/OFF button will start the unit
up or shut the unit down.
2 – SmartStat Mode is the Automatic Mode. In this mode the Thermostat controls the unit. The
Lincoln SCR starts as soon as the Thermostat calls for heat. The unit shuts off only after the unit
pilots for 1 hour with out calling for heat. If Operating in the SmartStat Mode, make sure the
Thermostat is not calling for heat when trying to shut the Lincoln SCR off at the Control
Board. Turning the Lincoln SCR off at the Control Board while the Thermostat is calling
for heat, will cause the Control Board to turn the unit right back on.
During the Break-In period and anytime a switch is made to a different Fuel Category, such as
switching from Pellets or Cherry Pits (which have a lower moisture content and starts quicker) to
burning Corn, Wheat, Rye and Distiller’s Grain (which have a higher moisture content and start
slower), the Lincoln SCR must be set up and adjusted for proper ignition. This means the
Damper, Program, Feed and Draft Trim settings must be adjusted in such a manner that after the
ignition cycle finishes, the unit transitions to the fuel in the main hopper in a smooth manner
without overloading the pot.
How to use T-Stat and SmartStat Mode with the Revolution
Technology. (Read page 28 and page 44 for more information on using a Thermostat)
SmartStat Mode is to be used when the temperatures are mild. Adjust the Control Board for mild
temperatures. Run the Lincoln SCR on the lower settings on the control board to prevent the unit
from cycling on and off needlessly. If the temperature is 50 degrees outside, it would make sense
to run the Lincoln SCR in SmartStat Mode but with the Heat Level set on #1.This way the unit
puts out less heat and will run longer before temperatures in the house rise above the Thermostat
setting. This also provides a more even temperature.
Lincoln SCR Manual

When burning Corn, Wheat, Rye and Distiller’s Grain Pellets, the program chosen must give a
smooth ignition and be able to advance to the Heat Level chosen. If the Pot overloads during
ignition, adjust the Feedrate down or switch Programs until these fuels ignite without
overloading the Pot. The units must be adjusted for unattended use.
Do not assume the unit functions correctly in SmartStat mode without first adjusting the unit.
When burning grain there are many variables and the unit must be fine tuned correctly before
using SmartStat Mode.
The adjustments that need to be made are:
1 - Choosing the correct Program for the fuel used. (See pages 38-39 in your manual)
2 - Adjusting the Damper (if needed) (See pages 41-43 in your manual)
3 - Adjusting the Feedrate (if needed) (See point 8 on page 61)
4 - Adjusting the Draft Fan Voltage (if needed) (See point 9 on page 61)
5 - Adjusting the Heat Level to a lower setting (to prevent the Lincoln SCR from excessive
ON/OFF cycling). This will also help in maintaining an even temperature in the home. (See
figure 23 on page 36) Moving to the next Program will also produce less heat. (See pages 3839 in your manual)
If the Revolution pot overloads during the Ignition Phase, simply open the Hopperlid to stop the
Auger Motor in the main hopper. This will temporarily shut off the fuel that is being fed to the
pot until it balances back out.
Use the 5-point list above and make some small adjustments before starting the unit the next
time. Again observe how the unit starts up and repeat this process until you get a smooth ignition
when burning Grains.
The Revolution Pot – How to deal with a jammed pot.
What can cause the pot to get jammed?
a – A foreign object gets stuck in the Drum as it
rotates through. For this to happen, the
object must first make it through the Auger
system in the hopper. Most likely it would
jam the auger, but is some instances it could
end up in the pot.
b – The Drum rotates while it is full of unburned
fuel. If this happens the dividers in the drum
could get stuck on the fuel as that section of
the pot rotates through. It jams where the
dividers close the opening where the Ash
and Clinker material exit the pot.
Figure1
Lincoln SCR Manual
5
How to fix the problem if it happens?
If this happens, first unplug the unit and use a vacuum to clean out the fuel or ash in the pot. To
clear a foreign object may require reversing the motor by hand. Figure 1 shows how to access the
area where the Switches and Revolution gearmotor are located.
Figure 2
Keep an eye on the 2 switch levers
shown in figure 2. They eventually
will end up against the end of the
notches shown in figure 3. Rotating
any further than that will bend the
levers and potentially damage the
switches.
To clear a jam will usually only
require the drum to be reversed a
small amount for the object or the
fuel to free up.
Figure 3
Once the jam has been cleared, simply plug the unit back in and the drum will rotate through
and stop in the correct position.
Lincoln SCR Manual

There is one other situation that could jam the drum. When burning Corn, Wheat, Rye or
Helpful Hint
-
Distillers Grain Pellets the by-product of these fuels is a hard clinker. If the pot jams up on the
Clinker material, the procedure to clear the drum is a little different from the methods listed
earlier.
Remember to first unplug the unit before trying to clear the jam. The clinker material may be
stuck to the “Divider Fingers” in the drum. This Clinker material is hard and easily breaks up
using a hammer and screw driver to break it in smaller pieces.
Figure 4 shows the Drum outside of the
burnpot for a clearer view. Note the
“Divider Fingers” and the “Center” of the
Drum.
When breaking up a Clinker use caution
not to hit directly on the divider fingers as
this may bend them and cause them to
bind on the “Cutters”. Break the Clinker
up in the area described as the “Center of
Drum”
Figure 4
How to prevent the Clinker from causing the Drum to jam?
The fuels that create Clinkers are approved with Programs 2 through 4 on the Control Board. The
Clinker can be different in consistency based on the different varieties of corn, wheat, rye and
distillers grain pellets that are grown or produced throughout the US. If this seems to be a
problem, simply choose the next program on the Control Board.
For Example: If you are operating in Program 2, simply change to Program 3. This will cause
the Clinker to be smaller and less likely to jam up during the cleaning process.
start the unit and run the unit continuously until the main hopper is empty.
The Small Hopper used for starting the stove holds enough pellets to
When running the unit in SmartStat Mode it will start the unit 6 times before
running out of pellets. Be sure to keep the small hopper filled up when unit is
starting frequently.
Optional Hopper Extension, Part # 80P54093, is available for a larger Hopper
Capacity.

VENTING: APPROVED MATERIALS
The Stove requires a venting system approved for pellets by a certified testing lab. Approved
pellet Stove venting materials are: 1) PL vent, a double wall vent with a stainless steel liner; and
2) Single wall rigid or flexible stainless steel pipe. PL Vent and Single wall vent is available
through manufacturers such as (but not limited to): ICC Chimney, Energy Vent LTD, James A.
Ryder, Simpson DuraVent and Selkirk Metalbestos and is carried by many local pellet Stove
dealers. In this manual approved venting will be referred to a “PL vent” or “Single wall vent”.
All single wall vent adaptors must be stainless steel.
NOTE: TYPE “B” GAS VENT MUST NOT BE USED IN THE INSTALLATION OF THIS
STOVE
Examples of venting system components follow:
High temperature ceramic roping reduces potential fly ash escaping through joints.
Stainless steel inner liners resist corrosive flue gas damage to the system.
Flex pipe should be stainless steel, 4 ply construction with a total thickness of approx. .07 inches.

VENTING: DETERMINING MATERIALS
TYPE OF MATERIALS:
1. PL Vent must be used.
2. Exception: Single wall stainless steel may be used inside an existing chimney. (No
clearances to combustibles are needed on single wall stainless steel adaptors, rigid or flex pipe
installed within a chimney.)
3. A clean-out “tee” (PL Vent or “Quick-Connect Exhaust”) must be installed directly to the
Stove and at the bottom of each vertical run of the exhaust system. These tees are to assist in
periodically cleaning the pipe. Single or double clean-out tees may be used. The exhaust system
must be installed so the entire system can be cleaned without disassembly.
NOTE: ADHERE TO THE PL VENT CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES AS REQUIRED.
STRICTLY OBSERVE THE PL VENT MANUFACTURER’S SAFETY SPECIFICATIONS.
QUANTITY OF MATERIALS:
1. It is recommended that the vent system be installed with a minimum of three feet (3’) of
vertical rise above the exhaust port on the back of the Stove.
FAILURE TO PROVIDE THE NATURAL DRAFT THAT RESULTS FROM A VERTICAL
RISE MAY RESULT IN SMOKE BEING RELEASED INTO THE HOUSE WHEN
ELECTRICITY TO THE UNIT IS INTERRUPTED WHILE BURNING OR SMOLDERING
PELLETS OR CORN REMAINS IN THE BURN GRATE. (See “Battery Backup” on page 13)
2. It is not recommended to run vertical venting outside the heated environment where the Stove
is installed. Running a venting system in a cold environment may cause the flue temperatures to
cool down too much for adequate drafting.
Additional vertical exhaust venting should be provided when using:
a. More than one (1) elbow or tee; and/or
b. Horizontal runs of over three (3) feet. (Horizontal runs over 10 feet not recommended)
3. For a venting system ending in a horizontal run, the exhaust pipe must be terminated by a
listed end cap or a PL vent elbow (45 or 90 degrees). Note: End caps or elbows must vent
exhaust gases away from the building.
4. For termination above the building roofline a rain cap is required.
5. The exhaust pipe on the Lincoln SCR is 4” O.D. to accommodate a pipe adaptor.
Lincoln SCR Manual
16
VENTING: TERMINATION REQUIREMENTS
In determining optimum vent termination, carefully evaluate external conditions especially when
venting directly through a wall. Since you must deal with odors, gases, and fly ash, consider
aesthetics, prevailing winds, distances from air inlets and combustibles, location of adjacent
structures and any code requirements.
1. Exhaust must terminate above combustion air inlet elevation.
2. Do not terminate vent in any enclosed or semi-enclosed area, (i.e. carports, garage, attic
crawl space, etc.) or any location that can build up a concentration of fumes.
3. Vent surfaces can get hot enough to cause burns if touched by children. Non-combustible
shielding or guards may be required
The type of installation must first be considered before determining the exact location of
the venting termination in relationship to doors, window, cavities or air vents. See figures
4a and 4b below.
a. Without Outside Air connected to the unit. For These types of installations please refer
to the dimensions listed below in figure 4a.

VENTING: INTO AN EXISTING CHIMNEY
The stove may be connected to an existing Class A chimney or a masonry chimney which meets
the minimum requirements of NFPA 211.
1. If the stove’s exhaust is connected to a masonry chimney, the masonry chimney must be free
of cracks that could leak exhaust gases or fly ash. A relining of the chimney with either PL
vent or single wall stainless steel pipe may be necessary to bring the chimney into
compliance.
2. When chimneys are relined, a chimney chase cap that reduces the outlet of the chimney to
the size of the liner is required. Extend the exhaust vent above the chimney chase cap and
finish it off with a rain cap. A single wall liner may need to be insulated to maintain
adequate exhaust temperatures in the vent system
Note: Outside Chimneys frequently are difficult to keep warm, if in doubt insulate the liner.
Figure 6 Figure 7
Venting into Masonry Chimney Venting into Class A Chimney
3. Venting into the side of an existing masonry chimney must be done through a masonry
thimble. When wall penetration is necessary to access a masonry chimney, use a listed PL
vent wall thimble. (Figure 6).
4. When venting into a Class A steel chimney, (Figure 7), use an appropriate PL Vent adapter.
