NOTE: Visit our web site for downloadable maintenance sheets and/or a service video that details
and illustrates the following maintenance tasks.
Rear Panel Removal
WARNING: To perform any maintenance inside the rear of the unit, the stove must be out
(no fire), cooled down and unplugged. Electrical shock can occur if the unit is
not unplugged from power.
To remove the rear panel, simply loosen the eight (8) screws (size 5/16”) and flex the panel.
The panel should come off without fully removing the screws.

Auger Motors
The Auger Motor and gearbox are one complete assembly (Part # PU-047040), and can be
removed by disconnecting the power leads and loosening the (
5
/
16
” head) set bolt in front of the
assembly. This bolt tightens down on the flat side of the gear shaft and locks the gear shaft and
auger shaft together – once the bolt is loosened, the entire assembly will slide from the locking
collar. There are two motor assemblies on the unit, and both rest on a shelf when not in operation.
When replacing a motor, the assembly should always be placed to rest on this shelf prior to starting
the unit.
Auger Bearings and Auger Shafts
The auger bearings (Part # PU-UCF204-12) are a sealed unit and do not require lubrication
. To
replace the Top Auger, all the fuel must be removed from the hopper as well as from the Top Auger
assembly. Once this is done, the four bolts that hold in the bearing can be removed, followed by the
complete auger assembly. Loosen the two (2) set screws with a 1/8” allen wrench, which will
disconnect the bearing from the shaft (the bearing assembly and auger assembly can be replaced
by reversing this procedure). When placing the auger assemblies in the unit, always tighten the
four bolts in a diagonal pattern to ensure the bearings and shafts are aligned properly.
NOTE: Follow the same procedure to work on the bottom auger, with the exception that the pellets
do not have to be removed from the hopper.
Hopper Lid Safety Switch
This unit is equipped with a hopper lid safety switch (Part # PU-HLS) which is directly
connected to the top auger motor. In the event the hopper lid is left open while the stove is in
operation, the hopper lid switch will prevent the top auger from turning. This is to prevent
byproducts of combustion from entering the home through the open hopper lid and also to simply
prevent operation with the hopper lid open. The hopper lid safety switch contacts the hopper lid
using a small arm and roller assembly; this arm can be adjusted upward by loosening the two
retaining bolts on the side of the hopper lid switch bracket and readjusting the switch. Be certain to
fully tighten the bolts to ensure the switch does not slip from the correct position.
Improper hopper lid safety switch operation will result in a top auger that will not turn and
therefore a stove that will not burn.
