SECURING APPLIANCE TO THE FLOOR
Use the designated holes to secure the unit to the floor.
WARNING! DO NOT INSTALL IN SLEEPING ROOM.
CAUTION! THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE
MOBILE HOME FLOOR, WALL, AND CEILING/ROOF
MUST BE MAINTAINED.
WHEN INSTALLED IN A MOBILE HOME, THE STOVE
MUST BE GROUNDED DIRECTLY TO THE STEEL
CHASSIS AND BOLTED TO THE FLOOR.
In addition to the previously detailed installation
requirements, mobile home installations must meet the
following requirements:
• This stove must be securely fastened to the floor of the
mobile home through the two holes in the rear of the
stove using two, 1/4" lag bolts that are long enough to
go through both a hearth pad, if used, and the floor of
the home.
• The heater must be electrically grounded to the steel
chassis of the mobile home with 8 GA copper wire
using a serrated or star washer to penetrate paint or
protective coating to ensure grounding.
• Vent must be 3 or 4-inch "PL" Vent and must extend
a minimum or 36" (914 mm) above the roof line of the
mobile home and must be installed using a certified
ceiling fire stop and rain cap.
• When moving your mobile home, all exterior venting
must be removed while the mobile home is being
relocated. After relocation, all venting must be
reinstalled and securely fastened.
• Outside air is mandatory for mobile home installation.
See Outside Air Supply section and your dealer for
purchasing.
• Check with your local building officials as other codes
may apply.

INSTALLATION
VENTING REQUIREMENTS
WARNING:
• INSTALL VENT AT CLEARANCES SPECIFIED BY
THE VENT MANUFACTURER.
• DO NOT CONNECT THE PELLET VENT TO A VENT
SERVING ANY OTHER APPLIANCE OR STOVE.
• DO NOT INSTALL A FLUE DAMPER IN THE
EXHAUST VENTING SYSTEM OF THIS UNIT.
The following installation guidelines must be followed
to ensure conformity with both the safety listing of this
stove and to local building codes. Do not use makeshift
methods or compromise in the installation.
IMPORTANT:
THIS UNIT IS EQUIPPED WITH A NEGATIVE DRAFT
SYSTEM THAT PULLS AIR THROUGH THE BURN
POT AND PUSHES THE EXHAUST OUT OF THE
DWELLING. IF THIS UNIT IS CONNECTED TO A FLUE
SYSTEM OTHER THAN THE WAY EXPLAINED IN
THIS MANUAL, IT WILL NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY.
MAXIMUM VENTING DISTANCE
Installation MUST include at least 3-feet of vertical pipe
outside the home. This will create some natural draft to
reduce the possibility of smoke or odor during appliance
shutdown and keep exhaust from causing a nuisance or
hazard by exposing people or shrubs to high temperatures.
The maximum recommend vertical venting height is 12-
feet for 3-inch type "PL" vent. Total length of horizontal
vent must not exceed 4-feet. This could cause back
pressure. Use no more than 180 degrees of elbows (two
90-degree elbows, or two 45-degree and one 90-degree
elbow, etc.) to maintain adequate draft.
IMPORTANCE OF PROPER DRAFT
Draft is the force which moves air from the appliance
up through the chimney. The amount of draft in your
chimney depends on the length of the chimney, local
geography, nearby obstructions and other factors. Too
much draft may cause excessive temperatures in the
appliance. Inadequate draft may cause backpuffing into
the room and 'plugging' of the chimney. Inadequate draft
will cause the appliance to leak smoke into the room
through appliance and chimney connector joints. An
uncontrollable burn or excessive temperature indicates
excessive draft. Take into account the chimney's location
to ensure it is not too close to neighbors or in a valley
which may cause unhealthy or nuisance conditions.
