INSTALLING THE BURNER COVER ASSEMBLY AND SOLID FUEL GRATE
Before the SHA can be operated, the Burner Cover Assembly (1) must be installed according to the type
of fuel being used.
When Operating the SHA in Liquid Fuel Mode
If the heater will be operated in Liquid Fuel mode, the Burner Door Assembly (1) must be installed in the
door frame (2) located behind the Front Door (3). This is to prevent any air from entering through the front
door of the heater. To verify proper installation of the Burner Cover Assembly, slide the front door latch
(4) to the left and open the front door (3); ensure that the solid fuel grate (10) is not installed. The Burner
Cover Assembly (1) must be installed in the door frame (2), blocking the area behind the front door (3).
When the Burner Cover Assembly (1) is installed, close and latch (4) the front door (3).
When Operating the SHA in Solid Fuel Mode
When preparing to use the heater in solid fuel mode, the Burner Cover Assembly (1) should be installed
over the Burner Assembly opening (5). To install the Burner Cover Assembly for solid fuel operation, slide
the front door latch (4) to the left and open the Front Door (3). If the Burner Cover Assembly is currently
installed in the door frame (2), remove it and allow it to hang from its retaining chain (6). If the Solid Fuel
Grate (7) is installed, remove the grate and install the Burner Cover Assembly (1) smooth side down over
the Burner Assembly opening (5). Slide the cover back toward the rear of the heater until its back edge
(8) engages in the Burner Cover retaining clip (9). Install the Solid Fuel Grate (7) in position over the
installed Burner Cover Assembly (1) making sure to install the grate with its feet (10) down on the deck
(11) of the upper heater area.
