P43 Maintenance - Cleaning the Feeder Body
Pellet nes 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 nes:
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 nes.
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
rebox 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 rebox 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.
