Hercules Boiler Model 10
Fit the Front Plate
Offer the vertically recessed rope seals to the leading edges of the Boiler Unit (the
top edge of the Top Plate should be about 50mm above the top edge of the Boiler
Unit) and allow the Front Plate to slide down until the catches engage with the pins
located on the Boiler Unit.
To ensure that the Front Plate has been securely located place a woodblock on the
top edge of the Front Plate and apply a sharp tap with a lump hammer to the
woodblock.
WARNING !!!
DO NOT HIT THE CASTING DIRECTLY - IF THE FRONT PLATE IS STILL NOT
SECURE CHECK THE LOCATION AND SEATING OF THE FRONT PLATE AND
LOCATION OF THE CATCHES AND PINS - THIS IS A SIMPLE AND STRAIGHT
FORWARD OPERATION AND EXCESSIVE FORCE MUST NOT BE USED.
The Front Plate will be easier to handle if the Doors are taken off by removing the
Fixing Pins which can be tapped out from underneath the Hinge Blocks.
Fit the Baffle Plate
Place the Baffle Plate on the supporting brackets. The bracket on the baffle faces the
base of the stove.
Fit the Fire Grates
Place the two half Fire Grates on the supporting ledges (ribbed face underside).
Fit the Fuel Retainer Bars
Place the first Fret Rail with the flat ash deflector bar between the back face of the
Front Plate and the steel Retaining Plates.
Place the second and third Fret Rails on top of the first Fret Rail
The notched ends of the Fret Rails face inwards and are loose fitting.
Fit the two Ash Pans
Place the Ash Pans side-by-side in the ash-pan compartment below the Grates.
Fit the Top Plate
Place the Top Plate onto the stove body and check that it is centrally located and
seated onto the wide recessed rope seal. The Top Plate relies upon self-weight to
seal (do not use fire cement to seal).
