These CODES may differ from this manual. Installation must be performed by a qualified installer. • Anyone who is not familiar with and/or has not been trained to operate the WoodMaster Commercial Series may not operate the system. Only responsible adults should operate your boiler. If the boiler is not fired properly damage could result and the warranty may be voided. • Never allow children to play near or tamper with the boiler, fuels, tanks or any other part of the system. • Always keep the area around, and in front of fuel door clean and free from combustible materials. • Keep animals away from the boiler. • The operation may not be continued or restarted in the event of visible damages (for example, water leaks, thermal distortion, traces of smoke or fire, mechanical damages, etc.). Any damages must be repaired. In the event of any doubts, please contact your authorized WoodMaster Dealer. • Only touch the handles during the operation. Temperatures at other points (for example, chimney, ash door, buffer tank, lines…) can be very high. • The WoodMaster Commercial Series must be operated exclusively according to the guidelines for planning, assembly, regulations, statutes and product related instructions. The manufacturer is not liable for damages and their results, if they occurred due to improper assembly, operation, application and also inadequate maintenance and cleaning. • Do not connect this unit to a chimney flue serving another appliance. Follow all state/local codes. • Read and follow these directions carefully. Retain this manual for as long as you own your boiler. • The use of silicone with the WoodMaster Commercial Series can cause damage to the Lambda (02) sensor and is not to be used for any purpose with this product Intended Use Of The Boiler The boiler produces low pressure hot water and is suitable for combustion with mechanized feeding. Any other use is improper. Improper Use Of The Boiler The use of large sized wood or other similar products in a closed expansion tank system is also considered improper use. Installing the boiler outdoors exposed to weather agents represents a case of improper use. 4 WoodMaster Commercial Owners Manual April 2012 Safety Risks Connected To The Use Of The Machine Safety of this boiler have been considered during the design stage, however, hazardous situations may arise if: • The boiler is used improperly. • The boiler is installed by non-qualified personnel. • Instructions regarding safety contained in this manual are not complied with. Residual risks The boiler has been designed and built in compliance with all the current applicable Safety Standards. Although every possible risk has been considered, it is possible that besides the risks deriving from improper use, the following risks may occur: BURNING HAZARD When starting the firebox, accessing the inspection doors or cleaning while the firebox is not completely off. ELECTROCUTION HAZARD The boiler is connected to and controlled by an electrical panel equipped with all the protection devices against overloads and short circuits. To protect against the indirect contacts, we recommend powering the panel with a line protected by differential switch with intervention threshold not higher than 30 mA. HAND INJURY HAZARD During cleaning or maintenance operations on the fuel feeding screw. FINGER INJURY HAZARD During control and maintenance operations on chain transmission components located in correspondence of the gear motor. SUSPENDED LOAD HAZARD During boiler transport and handling operations ASPHYXIATION HAZARD in case of inadequate fume evacuation (draught). We recommend periodically cleaning the boiler flue, tube nest and firebox thoroughly. PROTECTIVE GLOVES ARE MANDATORY Protective gloves must be used during all maintenance and cleaning operations. PROTECTIVE HELMET IS MANDATORY During every boiler transport or handling operation PROTECTIVE MASK IS MANDATORY During maintenance and cleaning operation on the flues.

B Air Fans Rotary Valve Agitator Burner Box Burner Auger WoodMaster Commercial Owners Manual Motor & Gearbox April 2012 Technical Features Boiler operation description For BM type boilers (Page 8, Figure A), the fuel descends by gravity from the intermediate hopper into the upper feeding auger, where it is pushed into the rotary valve (optional) or directly into the stoker auger. For BMC type boilers (Page 8, Figure B), the fuel is extracted from the intermediate hopper by means of motorized agitator that convey it to the upper feeding auger. The rotary valve has a double function. On one hand, it doses the fuel towards the stoker auger while, on the other it breaks fuel continuity between the two feeding screws, thereby preventing fume back flow and flames that could reach the intermediate hopper. The rotation speed of the lower feeding screw determines the correct brazier feeding and is therefore an essential element for the correct operation of the boiler. The fuel contained in the firebox is burnt through the primary and secondary air input. The heat that develops in the combustion chamber is conveyed in the interspace full of water through the steel walls of the boiler. The hot fumes pass from the combustion chamber through the central tube and, by means of the hollow space in the upper door, cross the tube nest and are finally expelled in the fume pipe fitting, making those three flue passes that are the distinctive mark of this type of boiler. Optimal combustion control is obtained adjusting the primary and secondary air and the amount of fuel. Combustion quality can be verified either visually or by means of smoke analyzers.

April 2012 WoodMaster Commercial Owners Manual 19 Installation General installation requirements The electrical and hydronic installation of the boiler and any other assistance or maintenance operation must be carried out by a certified and approved Northwest Manufacturing, Inc. Dealer or installer. Installer requirements. (by state) The creation of central heating or hot water production plants based on boilers as those described in this manual, is regulated by different regulations in the various states therefore, the installer must refer to the local regulations in force. Flue and draught The flue is one of the most important elements for a correct boiler operation. In general, a good draught is obtained when the flue is thermally insulated, designed with a double wall and insulated to prevent the fumes from cooling, thus maintaining the pressure difference that allows the fumes to go up the flue to the external outlet. We recommend using stainless steel for the parts in contact with the fumes in order to prevent acid condensation due to the features of the used fuel. The surrounding structures may affect the correct operation of the flue: e.g., the distance and height of nearby buildings. An excessive draught will reduce the boiler efficiency: part of the combustion gas is sucked in the flue together with the fuel particles before being fully burnt, thus increasing fuel consumption. A poor draught, on the other hand, reduces the boiler efficiency causing fume and carbon monoxide back flow. If boiler is not equipped with a draft fan the flue section must have the same diameter as the fume pipe fitting (Page 10 Pos. 20 - Page 11 Pos. 18). Narrower sections are not allowed. Moreover, its weight must not lay on the fume pipe fitting in order to prevent collapses in the structure of the boiler. Figure P on the next page shows how to install it correctly. The flue must be sized according to the boiler section and the firebox power supply by qualified personnel. For boilers connected in parallel, each boiler must have its own flue. Due to the various installation places, during normal operation, the flue section and height must guarantee a minimum draught of –20 Pa measured by applying a 1/4” hose connection to the manifold located on the side of lower door inspection window as in figure N and by inserting a rubber pipe connected to a deprimometer (Tables on pages 12 & 13) indicate maximum draught values. Should you not be able to obtain a sufficient draught, we recommend installing an electric fan for forced draught on top of the flue as in figure M. A chimney cover on top of the stack is recommended to keep out moisture and debris.

Dealer or installer. Normal operation Once the start-up and adjustments are completed the boiler will operate automatically. 22 WoodMaster Commercial Owners Manual April 2012 Maintenance General information The firebox and the flues must be periodically cleaned from combustion solid residues (ashes).
