-2- Warnings and Disclosures - Follow all installation and operating procedures. - The oil stove requires an installed flue for correct operation. Do not attempt to operate the stove without the flue chimney installed correctly as required in this manual. - A permanently open fresh air inlet vent must be installed near the stove to provide air to the stove for combustion. - The fuel supply must have a manual shut-off at the fuel tank as well as a manual shut-off near the stove. - The fuel must be filtered to at least 10 microns and not exceed 4 PSI of pressure. - The fuel type stamped on...

-4- Clearance Diagram Installation Guidelines Location The location of the stove must be large enough to provide safety clearances. Objects and materials closer to the stove than 6” must be lined with high density, heat retardant insulation and covered with metal (stainless steel, aluminum, etc.). Another alternative is using ceramic tiles. Particular care must be taken to protect the surfaces close to the cast iron top and first section of flue pipe.

-5The install location should also take into account the length and configuration of the flue stack. It is generally preferable that the flue stack be a long straight run. If you have the option, avoid having to use elbows. Ideally, the stove should face the bow or stern of your vessel, particularly on a sailboat. Fuel gravity feeds from the oil-metering valve into the burner. Should this valve drop below the level of the burner fuel will not flow uphill into the burner and the fire will go out. In a beam-facing sailboat installation, the oil metering valve may have to be relocated to the...

-6- Flue Stack The length and straightness of the flue stack are important to the efficient operation of the stove. The Flue stack must be the correct diameter. If elbows must be used, the elbows shall not be greater than a 45 degree angle. The first elbow should not be closer than 12” (28cm) to the stove. Allow for as much straight pipe as possible before the first elbow. The pipe will attach to the stove by squeezing the round pipe over the oval flue collar when installing. Pipe Diameter 5 inch dia. 12.7cm Recommended Length 6 ft 1.83m Minimum Length 4 ft 1.23m Hole Diameter 7 inch dia....

-7The draft above the top of the fire will be aprox -.05 inches of water column, should you have a draft meter, however adjusting the damper as above should get you close enough. Dickinson can supply you with a stainless steel thru-deck fitting for your pipe installation. The thru-deck fitting includes a stainless steel dress ring for the interior of the cabin and a rubber (neoprene) gasket easy mounting. Depending on the contour or the angle of the cabin top, you may need to make a hardwood spacer block. One surface of the block would be a level plane to mate to the deck cap. The other...

-8#20-000 FRD-2 3 PSI FUEL PUMP & #20-002 FRD-HD c/w REGULATOR FUEL PUMP • • • • • • • • • • These are 12 volt DC pumps. The factory spring pressure for the #20-000 FRD-2 pump is set at 3 PSI (max 6 ft. lift). The #20-002 FRD-HD pump has a stronger pressure spring that will draw the fuel higher (max 15 ft. lift) but will need the regulator to adjust the pressure down to 3 PSI before the fuel goes to the oil metering valve. You must use a fuel oil filter in your installation before the pump to keep debri from plugging up the 3 check valves inside the pump. When the oil metering valve...

-8Ainstalled as per diagram. Place the check valve as shown in the diagram on top of the heavier replacement spring, and the spring on top of the pump plunger and push it back into the pump body holding it in with a finger. Note the magnetic part of the plunger is on the opposite end of the spring. Replace the lid with the gasket on by lowering your finger on to the red O ring sleeve without the plunger falling out ( the plunger is about 2” long so you have room to lower your finger out of the way). The red O ring sleeve will fit inside the pump tube and the black O ring will fit over the...

#20-002 FRD-HD c/w REGULATOR We recommend using an elbow fitting on the fuel inlet. When priming this pump hold down the knob of the pressure regulator to prime the fuel lines and take out the air then turn the dial to the lowest setting on the regulator and increase pressure 1 increment at a time until the pump is just delivering a small amount of fuel as the heater/stove only requires a very small amount . -9-

Use 3/8" (9.52 mm) copper fuel line for the first 2-3 ft closest to the heater/stove. Approved hose can be used for the remainder of the installation. DO NOT USE A PRESSURIZED FUEL TANK. When a low pressure fuel delivery pump is used (less than 4 psi) a fuel line must be plumbed directly from the main fuel tank or tee in at the tank (not from the engine supply line or engine filter). Use a check valve in the stove fuel line to stop the engine from pulling back the fuel and starving the stove. The fuel inlet is a 3/8" flare fitting. To keep the oil metering valve clean and trouble free...
