Clearing the Auger Drop Tube

In rare cases the auger drop tube will become plugged with pellets. If your heater fails to feed pellets (make sure

the hopper has pellets and the auger has been turning for 10 minutes after refueling), this is an indication of a

plugged drop tube. Follow these steps to clear the drop tube: a) Remove the screw on the drop tube; b) Slide

the fuel gate from the drop tube; c) Use a screwdriver to dislodge pellets from the top of the drop tube (make

sure to get both sides of the auger – you will get approximately 1/4 cup); and, d) Replace the fuel gate and

secure with the screw.

NOTE: Earlier models do not have the fuel gate – proceed to step c to clear the drop tube.

WARNING : Whenever the auger becomes jammed, it is an indication that the firepot has become plugged.

After clearing the pellets, clean the firepot (see page 28

)

and review the operating

instructions to verify the heater is working correctly and pellets are not piling up.

NOTE: Make sure this gate can

swing when in place. If it is

installed incorrectly, it will prevent

pellets from feeding correctly.
