DANGERS-CAUTION-FIRE HAZARDS
(Burn wood logs or coal only)
Do not install a power humidifier on the warm air plenum.
Do not load wood above secondary air tube. Doing so will cause over-fire and damage to combustion
chamber could result.
Do not attempt to light a wood or coal fire when oil or gas vapors are present. An explosion or flashback
could cause personal injury.
Do not install on combustible floor.
Load wood or coal carefully or damage may result to fire brick or refractory pot liner.
Fire the oil or gas burner at least once each week during the heating season. This will insure clean nozzles
and electrodes.
Inspect air filter regularly. Clean or replace as necessary. Filter size is 20" x 25" x 1".
If an over-fire situation should occur, be sure ash door and fire door are closed. Turn thermostat down to
close primary air damper.

MOUNTING THE THERMOSTATS
The thermostats must be mounted on an interior
centrally located wall. Place them away fromdirect
sunlight, drafts, and approximately 5 feet abovethe
floor. It is not required that they be level. Placethem
right next to each other. See Fig. 17.
Two Honeywell digital thermostats are furnishedwith
all multi-fuel furnaces. The larger thermostat controls
your gas, oil or electric, whichever back-up fuelyou
have. It offers one temperature setting for
when you want the burner to start. This is in the
event your wood supply is inadequate in keeping
your home at its temperature setting. It also hasa
night setback feature that allows you to keeplower
temperatures at desired times. This thermostatalso
controls the air conditioning, if applicable.
The smaller thermostat controls the wood/coalroom
temperature. It does not have a night setback
feature.
If you have no plans for air conditioning you will
need a 3-wire thermostat cable from your furnaceto
your thermostat. If you intend to install air
conditioning a 5-wire thermostat cable is required.
FIG.17
TYPICAL THERMOSTAT SETTINGS
Place 3 or 4 8” diameter logs into wood chamber.
Set wood thermostat 5 degrees above room
temperature. Set oil/gas thermostat 10 degrees
above room temperature. Burner will then ignite and
start the wood burning. When wood is adequately
burning, reset gas/oil thermostat to 5 degrees below
desired room temperature. Set wood thermostat to
desired wood temperature. With the proper amount
of wood in the firebox, the wood thermostat will keep
the room temperature at the wood thermostat
setting. When the wood is no longer able to keep up
with the heating demands of your home and the
temperature falls to the oil/gas thermostat setting,
the burner will come on until that thermostat is
satisfied.

FUEL TANKS AND FUEL LINES
Fuel tanks and fuel lines must be installed in
accordance with requirements of NFPA 31.
If fuel lines are under 30 feet in length, it is satisfactory
to use 3/8" O.D. copper tube. Never use tube smaller
than 3/8" O.D. If the lines are over 30 feet in length, we
recommend 1/2" O.D. tube. Use good flare
connections on the fuel lines and, whenever possible,
avoid splicing the tube. Never make a splice or joint
underground. Whenever possible, avoid overhead
lines; avoid kinks and traps in the lines. Do not fasten
fuel lines directly
to floor joists, sills, or girders. Whenever possible,
support fuel lines with sound-absorbing devices.
SINGLE LINE SYSTEM
When fuel does not have to be lifted from tank to
burner use a single line hookup. A single line system
can be used when outlet on fuel tank is higher than
inlet on burner.
FIG. 18
TWO LINE SYSTEM
To lift fuel from tank to burner use a two-line system.
On outside buried tanks, install a supply line from tank
to burner and return line from burner back to tank. The
supply line is called the suction line. The suction line
should extend down within a few inches of the bottom
of fuel tank.
OIL FILTER
A fuel filter should be used with either an outside or
inside fuel tank. In all cases install the filter in
accordance with local codes. The filter should always
be installed inside, near the furnace. An inside tank and
any internal or external fire or flame appliance being
served by the tank must be at least 5 feet away from
the furnace. New oil replacement cartridges should be
installed annually or as required. Always use the new
gasket that is supplied with the replacement cartridge.
Tighten the top of the filter carefully and check the
gasket for proper fit.
FILL AND VENT PIPES
Fuel tanks must be equipped with a fill pipe and a vent
pipe. Fill pipes should be terminated in a convenient place
for filling. They should be equipped with a watertight cap.
It is recommended that 1-1/4" pipe be used for the vent.

GAS PIPE SIZING
Check with your local gas supplier to determine total gas
load for all your gas appliances. Size pipe accordingly.
GAS PIPING
All piping must comply with local codes. In the absence
of local codes, follow the national fuel gas code ANSIZ-
233.1. A sediment trap or drip leg must be installedin
the supply line to burner. (See Fig. 19)
A union must be installed in the gas line. It should be
adjacent to and upstream from the control manifold.It
should be downstream from the manual main shut-off
valve.
A manual shut-off valve must be installed in the gas
supply line. It must have a 1/8" N.P.T. plugged tapping
for test gauge connection.
The building structure should not be weakened by the
installation of the gas piping. The piping should notbe
supported by other piping. It should be firmly supported
with pipe hooks, straps, bands or hangers. Butt or lap
welding pipe should not be bent.
The gas piping should be installed so as to prevent an
accumulation of condensation. It must be protected
against freezing. A horizontal pipe should pitch so it
grades toward the meter and is free from sags. The pipe
should not be run through or in an air duct or clothes
chute.
Method of Installing a
Tee Fitting Sediment Trap
FIG. 19
After the piping and meter connections have been
checked for leaks, purge system of air. Be sure to relight
all pilots on other appliances.
The gas line should be a separate supply direct from the
meter to burner. A new pipe should be used. Locate it so
a minimum amount of work will be required in future
servicing. The piping should be installed so it is durable,
substantial and gas tight. It should be clear and free
from cutting burrs and defects in structure or threading.
Cast iron fittings or aluminum tubing should not be used
for the main gas circuit. Joint compounds (pipe dope)
should be used sparingly on male threads only. The joint
compounds should be approved for all gases.

PROPER CHIMNEYS
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) requires that all factory built chimneys be Listed and
installed in accordance with conditions of the Listing in the manufacturers instructions. NFPA also
requires that your chimney extend at least three (3) feet above the highest point when it passes through
the roof and at least two (2) feet higher than any portion of the building within ten (10) feet of the
chimney.
Factory built chimneys must be what NFPA refers to in NFPA 211 1-5.217.4 as Type HT. HT is an
abbreviation meaning high temperature.
Masonry Chimneys as referred to in NFPA 211 1-5.2.17.6, a field constructed chimney of solid masonry
units, bricks, stones, listed masonry chimney units, or reinforced concrete that is lined with suitable chimney flue liners and built with the provisions of Chapter 4 of this standard.
As described in NFPA 54 (National Fuel Gas Code) section 7.5.5 (c) A Listed combination gas and solid
fuel appliance equipped with a manual reset device to shut off gas to the main burner in the event of flue
gas spillage shall be permitted to be connected to a single chimney flue. The chimney flue shall be sized

COMBUSTION AIR
Make-up outside air must be provided to furnace for
proper fuel combustion. This is provided by openings
to outside of building. These openings shall have
unobstructed areas not less than the areas of the flue
pipe. See Figs. 25, 26, 27
IMPORTANT:
Outside air is needed to replace air used by
the burner and wood combustion process.
Outside air is required to replace air used for
taking the by-products of combustion out
the chimney. Outside air is needed to
replace air expelled by kitchen or bathroom
fans. It is also needed to replace air expelled
by water heater chimneys or fans.
See Figs. 25, 26, 27
Failure to provide outside air to the furnace area will
result in negative pressure, or vacuum, in the home.
Smoke from the wood fire may not be drawn up the
chimney. This causes creosote buildup and sometimes
causes smoke to enter furnace room.
See Figs. 25, 26, 27
WARNING: You must provide for
enough fresh air to assure proper
combustion. The fire in the furnace uses
oxygen and must have a continuous
supply. The air in a house contains only enough
oxygen to supply the furnace for a short time.
Outside air must enter the house to replace that
used by the furnace.

FURNACE LOCATED IN CONFINED SPACE
When the furnace is in utility room, install two open grilles.
(See Fig. 28.) Place them in a wall or door opening to the
rest of the house. One grille will supply combustion air.
Locate it near the floor. The other grille is for ventilation.
Locate it close to the ceiling. Each grille must have a free
area. It should be not less than one square inch for each
1000 BTU/hr. of the total input rating of appliances in
confined space.
FOR EXAMPLE: Your furnace is rated at 150,000 BTU
per hour. The water heater is rated 30,000 BTU per hour.
The total is 180,000 BTU per hour. You need two grilles,
each with 180 square inches of free opening. Metal grilles
have about 60% free (open) area. Therefore, you need
two metal grilles with 300 square inches each of louvered
area. The height should be about half the width.

BEST WOOD TO BURN
All solid fuel, whether it is coal, pine, oak or any grain
has about 12,000 BTU's per pound if its moisture
content is zero. Wood that has been cut, split and air
dried for 2 years has about 8,000 usable BTU's per
pound. Hardwood such as oak or hard maple has
nearly twice the BTU's per cord as pine or aspen
because it is nearly twice as heavy.
Freshly cut wood has about 50% moisture content.
Wood that has been cut and split for 2 years has about
20%. Wood must reach at least 435º to ignite. High
moisture content wood does not allow the gases in
wood to get hot enough to provide complete
combustion, thereby creating smoke and creosote,
which is usable energy, but wasted because of
incomplete combustion.
Yukon-Eagle furnaces are designed to wring the most
energy possible from each log. Your furnace is
designed to allow the primary air under the grate to
create the initial burning. As the wood burns, gases,
which contain 40% of the energy in the wood, escape
to the top of the flame. The patented secondary air
system (the round tubes between the firebrick) draws
room air into the tubes and provides oxygen to the
firebox to burn these gases. The result is you will use
up to 75% less wood than stoves, furnaces or outdoor
boilers without these features.

Operating Instructions
STARTING WOOD FIRE WITH GAS OR OIL BURNER
Place three or four 6 to 8 inch diameter logs in the
firebox. Set the temperature on the small thermostat to
the desired setting. Set the temperature on the larger
thermostat above room temperature. The flame from the
burner need not touch the wood to ignite.
HAND FIRING WOOD
Set the small thermostat above room temperature. Set
the larger thermostat below room temperature. The
damper to the firebox should now be open.
Place paper and kindling in firebox as you would in a
fireplace or campfire. Add logs to top of fire once
kindling is burning. Reset small thermostat to desired
room temperature.
Never leave ash drawer open, either to start fire or to
provide more heat. The furnace is designed to provide
adequate heat with the ash drawer closed.
FIG. 33
WARNING: Never operate furnace with
ash drawer open. It could cause fire to
burn at extreme temperatures, causing
metal fatigue, firebox failure, and unsafe
duct temperature.
CAUTION: OVERLOADING WITH WOOD
Do not overload your furnace with wood.
Failure or damage to the firebox could
result. Never allow the hot coals to build
up above the lower firebricks.
DANGER: Never burn materials other
than coal or wood logs, preferably split
and dried. A chimney fire or heat
exchanger failure could result. This
includes large amounts of corrugated boxes, wood
shavings, paper scraps, dried Christmas trees,
coke, garbage, tires or other burnable products.
IMPORTANT: Keep ash drawer empty.
Primary air to the wood chamber
travels under the grate. The grates will
warp and eventually burn out if ashes
are permitted to build up above them.
CAUTION: RESTRICTED USE DURING
ELECTRIC POWER FAILURE OR
FURNACE FAN FAILURE
Furnace may be converted to a gravity system.
The following directions must be followed carefully
to avoid an over-fire situation.
1. Remove access door to blower compartment
and remove air filter. Then replace access door.
Keep ash drawer tightly closed. Do not tamper
with wood primary air control. Load wood to
half the recommended normal height,
approximately 4 inches above grate.
2. Do not overload, no furnace fan is available to
rapidly carry away the heat. Load small
amounts of wood frequently until power is
restored.
3. Open all air registers and remove all
obstructions near them. Keep children away
from air registers or burns could result.
4. Primary air damper and burner will operate
automatically when electric power is restored.

Operating Instructions
WHAT SIZE COAL SHOULD I BURN?
The air space between the furnace grates is 1/2 inch.
Therefore, coal smaller than 1/2 inch can fall through
the grates into the ash pan.
• Pea size coal ranges from 9/16 to 11/16 inch.
• Nut size coal ranges from 1-3/16 to 1-5/8 inches.
• Stove size coal ranges from 1-5/8 to 2-7/16 inches.
Nut size is preferred by most people and is
recommended for use in this furnace.
Anthracite coal is hard and burns like charcoal that is
used in your barbecue grill. The coals must touch
each other to ignite. Therefore, the smaller the coal,
the easier to ignite. Stove coal is not likely to touch
each other because of its size.
Bituminous coal is soft and not as desirable as hard
coal. It creates dust when handled. It also produces
large amounts of smoke and soot when burned at a
slow rate. Soft coal from some areas of the country
contains higher sulfur content. A large portion of it
may be removed if the coal is cleaned.
FIG. 34
Western lignite coal should be burned the same way
you would burn wood. (Refer to wood burning
instruction on previous pages.)
SHAKING THE GRATES
HOW TO START A COAL FIRE
Place a small amount of crumpled paper and kindling
wood on the ash-covered grates.
Ignite paper and after wood is burning briskly, cover
with a thin layer of coal. As first layer of coal
becomes ignited, add more coal gradually. Add coal
until fire bed is built up to approximately 6 inches
deep. As fresh coal is added always leave some of
the glowing coal uncovered.
Draw the top red coals toward the front of the firebox.
Pile the fresh coals toward the back.
The grates must be protected from direct contact with
the fire. This is done by placing a layer of ash, one
(1) or two (2) inches thick on grates. The ash left on
the grate will help prevent overheating of the cast iron
grates. It also keeps coal from falling through the
grate's opening.
MAINTAINING A COAL FIRE
Bituminous coal should be built into a cone shape
once the fire has started. When re firing, break up the
cone a little using a poker. Especially if it has caked
over to form a crust. Be careful not to mix the coal as
this increases the chance of forming clinkers.
Shaking a fire should only be done if room is needed
for fresh coal. Also, if the ash accumulation on the
grates is excessive. Generally, the grates need only be
shaken once or twice a day.
Shake the grates using a few short strokes. Stop when
the first red coals appear in the ash pan. Undershaking restricts the amount of air that reaches the
fire. Over-shaking may cause the fire to go out.
CAUTION: Do not use kerosene, gasoline,
thinners, etc. to start a coal fire.
A coal fire should never be poked or broken up. This
causes ash to come to the surface of the coal bed.
The ash may fuse into lumps or clinkers which
interfere with proper burning.
Anthracite Coal - To bank the fire for the night, pile the
coal higher to the back of the firebox. Allow it to slope
toward the fire box door. Always leave some red or
burning coals uncovered in the front of the firebox.
Bituminous Coal - To bank fire for the night, shake the
fire and add coal, forming the center cone. Allow
enough time for the volatiles to burn off before closing
the fire door.

Operating Instructions
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR BURNING COAL
ON 1/2-INCH OPENING GRATES (Optional)
The following instructions are for burning various types
of coal, storage of coal, and the cleaning of the furnace.
Some coal is oil-treated at the mine. Some users have
indicated that it tends to make the coal difficult to start.
Burning coal requires some patience and a regular
procedure. With improper tending, a coal fire can go out
in a short time. Once the fire starts to go out, it is almost
impossible to reverse.
After a coal fire goes out, the coal must be removed
from furnace. Then the starting process can be
repeated.
Our coal burning instructions are general, as coal
comes in various sizes and types. Anthracite coal is
most recommended as it burns with little smoke when
burning properly.
CAUTION: Burn Anthracite, Bituminous, or Lignite
coals only. DO NOT BURN Petroleum,
Coke, or Cannel Coals.
IGNITION TEMPERATURE OF COAL AND WOOD
How hot does coal have to get to ignite? Following are
examples of the ignition points of various
materials:
• Paper ignites @: 350°F
• Wood ignites @: 435°F
• Western lignite ignites @: 630°F
• Low volatile bituminous ignites @: 765°F
• High volatile bituminous ignites @: 870°F
• Anthracite coal ignites @: 925°F

GRATE CARE - ASH REMOVAL
It is necessary that ashes be removed from the ash pan
on a daily basis. The ashes should never be allowed to
accumulate high enough to come in contact with the
grates. Such a condition could cut off necessary air
circulation. It could also result in a warping or burnout of
grates.
ASH DISPOSAL
Unlike wood ashes, coal ash should not be spread on the
garden. The minerals in coal ash contains several
chemicals which could be harmful to plant life.
RECOVERING UNBURNED COAL
Screen coal ashes through a piece of 1/4 inch or 3/8 inch
mesh hardware cloth. This helps recover any unburned
coal that has fallen though grates.
STORAGE OF COAL
Coal may be stored indoors or outdoors, with some
precautions:
FIG. 35
1. The storage area must be free of materials that are
easily burned. Examples are paper, wood, rags, and
leaves.
2. Wetting and drying of coal should be avoided. Outside
storage's should be protected from rain or snow. Wet
coal should not be piled on dry coal.
3. Locate the storage area in a place that is 75º F or
lower.
4. Nut coal weighs approximately 58 lbs. per cu. ft. A
storage bin 4-feet square by 4-feet high will hold 2 tons.
IMPORTANT:
Never smother fire when adding fresh coal.

The belt is drawn tight during shipment. Therefore both
belt tension and sheave alignment must be rechecked by
the installer. This is done when the furnace is placed in
service.
Improper belt tension and pulley misalignment are the
major causes of furnace fan noise. It also causes failure of
belts and bearings.
Sheave alignment is determined with a straight edge held
across outer face of fan sheave. The face of motor
sheave should be parallel to the straight edge at all points.
See Figs. 36-38
Proper belt tension is more difficult to determine
accurately. Too little tension will permit slippage causing
belt wear. It may cause noise or squealing when the motor
starts. Excessive tension increases motor load. It may
cause the oil film between shaft and bearing to fail. This,
in turn, causes the bearing to seize or burn out.
FIG. 36
FIG. 37
The proper belt tension is the minimum which will drive
the blower without slippage. This varies with sheave
diameter, fan size, and motor starting torque
characteristics. The practical belt tension can best be
determined by actual experience. When in doubt it is
better to have the belt too loose rather than too tight. Belt
tension can be judged by grasping the belt as shown. The
belt should be deflected approximately one inch, without
the motor moving, when moderate pressure is applied.

DUCT WORK AND BLOWER SPEED ADJUSTMENT
Supply and return duct system should be sized properly
for efficient operation. Normal air temperature rise
through the furnace should be adjusted to
approximately 80-90º F. Proper blower speed
adjustment, in conjunction with adequate duct work are
necessary to achieve this.
A high temperature rise will result in excessive fuel
usage. This is due to the high stack temperature that
always accompanies a high air temperature rise. It can
also cause premature heat exchanger failure.
To perform temperature rise check, start furnace and let
it run a minimum of 10 minutes. (Be sure all duct work
is complete and furnace is in its normal operating
condition). Place #1 thermometer in the return duct
near the furnace. Place #2 thermometer in the supply
duct near the furnace, but not in the plenum. After
10 minutes or more operation, take thermometer
readings. Supply air temperature should be no more
than 80-90º higher than returnairtemperature.
Air temperature rise canbeloweredby:
1. Increasing blower speed.
2. Additional supply or returnoutlets.
3. Lowering firing rate.

TESTING INSTALLATIONS FOR EFFICIENCY
A Draft gauge must be used. Draft in smoke pipe must
be set at .03 Water Column updraft. Failure to set
properly will cause fuel to be wasted, heating will not
be satisfactory, fast buildup of creosote in heat
exchanger and chimney may occur and cause damage
to your heating system.
The draft regulator will afford the user maximum fuel
efficiency, however, the finest draft regulator in the
world cannot increase the efficiency of a heating
system if the system as well as the regulator is not in
proper adjustment.
Basically, stack temperature and percentage of CO2 are
a measure of stack losses for any fuel. Therefore,
many of the basic principles can be and should be
applied to oil-fired furnaces as well as for those burning
solid fuels.
In preparation for these tests, the following should be
checked. The Draft Regulator installed should be:
• plumb and level
• in the same room as the unit
• on the side of a vertical, sloping or horizontal smoke
pipe
• located close to the furnace
Drill two holes approximately 1/4 inch in diameter in the
flue pipe between the outlet from the furnace and the
Draft Control.
Insert a stack thermometer in one of the holes and
leave it there continually during the test so that you can
refer to it at any time. See Fig. 40

TEST PROCEDURE
Step 1.
Set the thermostat high enough so that the unit will run
for at least 15 minutes, the maximum time that should
be required for the test. Let the unit operate enough
for the stack temperature to stabilize.
Step 2.
For your initial set of readings, set the Draft Regulator
so that there is .03 Water Column Draft in the smoke
pipe between the flue outlet and draft regulator.
A manometer must be used to properly set the draft to
.03” WC.
Step 3.
Insert the sampling tube of the CO2 tester in the hole
that you have drilled adjacent to the stack
thermometer and find the percentage of CO2 in the
sample of the products of combustion. Follow the
instructions of the manufacturer of the instrument you
are using.
Step 4.
Use efficiency finder chart or stack loss slide rule to
determine efficiency. Be sure to subtract room
temperature from stack thermometer reading and use
this net stack temperature for determining the
efficiency.
Step 5.
Insert end of smoke tester into same hole as was
used to test for CO2 and perform the smoke test.
Step 6.
The filter paper from the smoke test, when compared
to the standard, must be determined and be found to
be satisfactory. It should never be greater than #2,
preferably #1 or zero, depending on local
requirements or your own service standard.
Repeat steps 3, 4, and 5 as needed, adjusting the air
shutter on the burner and draft regulator until you
obtain the highest possible efficiency. It is desirable to
have a high CO2 reading and low stack temperature
with a minimum smoke reading.

OIL BURNER MAINTENANCE
MAINTENANCE AT THE END OF THE HEATING
SEASON:
1. Shut off electric current to burner at fuse panel.
2. If oil filter has not been cleaned recently, it should be
removed and cleaned. (Consult instruction card
furnished with fuel unit).
3. Oil storage tank should be kept filled to prevent water
vapor from collecting. It is suggested the valve in the
suction line be closed. Oil storage tank should be
cleaned every 2 or 3 years. This is to remove any
sediment or water that has collected in tank.
MAINTENANCE AT THE START OF THE HEATING
SEASON:
1. It is advisable to have a service technician inspect
and service your burner.
2. Heating plant, smoke pipe and chimney should be
cleaned and checked for repairs.
FIG. 44
3. It is advisable to have the entire electrical system
inspected before putting the burner into operation.
This is due to it standing idle for the summer months.
This should include primary relay, limit control,
thermostat.
Check the electrodes for carbon and cracks in insulators.
Also check for corrosion on all terminals of the
electrodes and transformer.
AIR FILTER MAINTENANCE:
Check and clean monthly. Change filter at least twice a
year.
BLOWER MOTOR MAINTENANCE:
If motor has oil caps, oil twice yearly.
CAUTION:
The furnace has a high efficiency "fiber-type
refractory" combustion chamber. Normal servicing
of this unit does not require cleaning of the
combustion chamber. Use EXTREME caution if it
becomes necessary to work in the area of the
combustion chamber. This pyrolite chamber should
be checked monthly. Replace if damaged or worn.
GUN ASSEMBLY ADJUSTMENT
The gun assembly can be adjusted in the slot of the fan
housing. This is done by loosening the screw holding the
slot cover in position. Adjust nozzle tip so it is located 7/8"
behind the front face of the burner cone.

HOW TO PREVENT RUST AND CORROSION
At the end of each heating season, clean both primary
and secondary heat exchangers. Also, clean the ash pan
thoroughly. Paint the inside of the heat exchanger with
automobile crankcase oil. This will decrease rusting
caused by summer moisture.
The black paint on firing door area may wear or burn off.
It can be repainted with a high temperature, flat black,
air-drying paint.
CLEANING THE CHIMNEY, SMOKE PIPE AND HEAT
EXCHANGER
Avoid chimney fires. On a regular schedule, check for
creosote and soot buildup in chimney, smoke pipe, and
heat exchanger. They must be kept clean. Keep a
professional chimney sweep in mind if you have access
to one.
Steel brushes are the safest for cleaning metal surfaces.
Salt solutions and some chemicals may damage metal
surfaces. Do not over fire your furnace. Do not burn
anything that combusts in seconds. Excessive fuel
temperatures may result, thereby igniting creosote.
CAUTION: In case of chimney fire, call
the fire department immediately!
CAUTION: Extinguish the fire in the
furnace. Do this by setting the
thermostats all the way down to close
the primary air damper and oil burner. Empty fire
chamber and ash pan into safe, fireproof container.
NOTE: Do not use your furnace until a professional
inspection has been made. They should inspect
your furnace, smoke pipe and chimney.
DISPOSAL OF ASHES
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight
fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be
placed on a noncombustible floor or on the ground.
Place the container well away from all combustible
materials, pending final disposal. Ashes can be
disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally
dispersed. First, the ashes should be retained in the
container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.
To clean the chimney, obtain a stiff brush with an
extendible handle. Then insert the brush into chimney
from the top. Continue the brushing and sweeping
downward until entire length of chimney is cleaned.
After cleaning chimney, debris will be at the bottom of
chimney at the clean-out opening. Open clean-out door
and sweep debris into a metal container.
The smoke pipe, from furnace to chimney, can be
cleaned with an 8-inch diameter brush. A smaller brush
can also be used.
For cleaning the secondary heat exchanger you can use
a steel brush. Use a 4 x 6” brush for the Eagle I - Husky
and a 3 x 8” brush for the Eagle II - Polar, with a
flexible steel handle. The primary heat exchanger
can be cleaned with any steel brush. A furnace vacuum
cleaner may be used.
NOTE: Soot will act as an insulator which causes
less heat to be transferred into your duct
system. It also causes more heat out your
chimney. Both reduce the efficiency of the
wood and fuel being burned.
CREOSOTE-FORMATION AND NEED FOR REMOVAL
When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other
organic vapors. This combines with expelled moisture to
form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in the
relatively cool chimney flue of a slow-burning fire. As a
result, creosote residue accumulates on the flue lining.
When ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot fire.
The chimney connector and chimney should be
inspected at least twice monthly during the heating
season. This is to determine if a creosote buildup has
occurred.
If creosote has accumulated it should be removed to
reduce the risk of a chimney fire.
CAUTION: Before cleaning chimney,
smoke pipe, and furnace, turn electrical
power off to furnace and other appliances
connected to chimney. Be sure wood fire is out and
inside of furnace is cool.

Maintenance
SMOKE IN THE FURNACE ROOM
This condition is usually caused because smoke
is not being drawn up through the chimney. Other
causes could be a failed (firebox)heat exchanger.
Check with your qualified furnace service
provider.
Chimney causes:
1. Fresh air for combustion must be suppliedto
the furnace room.
2. Cold chimney. Warm air rises and cool airfalls.
Outside chimneys are cold, which can cause
downdrafts until the chimney heats up.This
usually happens in the spring and fall of theyear
when outdoor temperatures are mild. These
temperatures do not produce enough heatto
warm the chimney up.
3. Chimney not tall enough. It must terminateat
least 2 feet above the peak of the roof.
4. A downdraft can occur when the wind blows.
This happens when your home is in a valleyor
high trees are near your home. Also, if your
house is on the east side of a hill or mountain.
One solution is to add a chimney cap with a
weather vane. This often will turn a downdraft
into an updraft. Another solution is to add
height to your chimney. Another solution is to
add a power ventor to the smoke pipe. The
power ventor operates when the thermostat is
calling for wood heat.

5. The barometric draft control must be set at .03.
If set less, the chimney may not draw. If set
higher, the wood fire may draw too much
combustion air. This causes the room temperature
to exceed the thermostat setting.

OVER HEATING WHEN BURNING SOLID FUEL AS
YOUR PRIMARY SOURCE OF HEAT
If your home is overheating, your furnace is providing heat
when the thermostat is satisfied. One of these ideas will
help with overheating.
1. The best answer is to use fewer logs at each filling. This
provides the maximum amount of heat while conserving
wood.
2. There are 3 pegs in the fan and limit control. One peg
is set at 250º F. Never change this setting. The middle
peg is set at 150º F. This is the temperature setting that
the air circulating fan starts. You may want to set this
setting at 160º F or higher. The bottom peg is set at
120º F. Reset this peg to 130º F or higher. These new
settings will not allow the fan to run as much. This
reduces the amount of air provided to the rooms.
NOTE: You will not have continuity of operation if you
make adjustments to fan and limit control. This
means that your air circulation blower may not
operate continually when burning oil or gas.
3. You may feel that the furnace is oversized for your
requirements. If this is the case cover part of the grate
with a piece of heavy metal. This will retard the fire.
This will cause some creosote buildup in firebox and
chimney because it will not burn as clean.
GAS OR OIL PART OF FURNACE TOO LARGE FOR
THE HOME
You or your furnace service provider may feel the furnace
BTU input is too large or too high. This will cause the gas
or oil blower to not operate continually when burning oil or
gas. BTU input can be reduced to as little as 75,000 BTU
input. Choosing this option will require adjusting the air
circulation blower to a lower speed. This assures
continuity of operation. Slowing the blower down will allow
the blower to run continually. This occurs when the
thermostat is calling for heat from the gas or oil burner.
IMPORTANT: During normal operation,
firing door and ash drawer must be kept
tightly closed. Air leakage will cause loss
of efficiency resulting in higher heating costs. If door
gaskets become worn, replace with 1/2" fiberglass
rope available from local sources.
NOTE: The damper will automatically close if there is
an electric power failure. This can occur from
high limit cut-off or electrical power outage.
This will prevent heat exchanger damage.
