Auger Assembly
Location: The auger is located in the bottom center of the hopper. See Figure 22 0n
Page 51.
Purpose: The auger is the mechanism that transports pellets from the hopper to the
burn grate. The 2 RPM motor located at the back of the auger is controlled
by the Digital Control Board and is cycled on and off at varying rates
depending on the selected Heat Setting. The ON time increases and the
OFF time decreases when the Heat Setting is advanced to a higher
setting.
Air Intake Tube
Location: The Air Intake Tube is located on the rear of all freestanding stoves. It is
controlled with a remote damper cable on the York Insert. The 2” diameter
tube has a butterfly damper in the tube to control the Combustion Air. For
more information please read the Operations Manual of each model.
Purpose: The inlet damper is to adjust combustion airflow to match the
characteristics of specific air inlet and chimney configurations and can be
adjusted to allow for a broad range of pellet quality.
Versa Grate – Self Cleaning Grate System
Location: The Versa Grate Assembly is located in the lower, center part of the stove.
It starts in the Firebox in the burn box and below the Grate Weldment,
with the Shaft/Cage weldment extending back through the air plenums and
ends in the lower back part of the stove at the Versa Grate motor and
motor mount. (See Figures 14 through 18 on pages 36 through 40 and
figure 22 on page 51.)
Purpose: The purpose of the Versa Grate is to allow for the burning of a wide range
of pellet fuels by keeping the burn grate clean of ash buildup and
minimize clinker build-up.
Ash Clean-Out System
Location: This clean-out system consists of a slide bottom in the burn box area. It is
located in the bottom of the burn box area. It consists of an Inner plate that
prevents the ashes from bridging below the pot, a bottom plate that opens
and closes to let the ashes fall through to the Ashpan and a rod extending
through the front of the stove to work the mechanism. See Figure 22 on
Page 51 for the location of the Ash Clean-Out Rod.
Purpose: The Versa Grate system acts in many ways like a “Shaker Grate” in a
wood stove. The “Shaker Plate” is constantly moving back and forth
during operation of the stove, resulting in an amount of ashes ending
below the Grate System. The build-up of ashes must be removed to
maintain proper combustion airflow the pellets in the Burnpot. It is best to
start a routine of “Shaking” the ashes down at least once a day.
