Hi,
Just wanted to get some input on what everyone does to oil/lubricate their stove. Searched on the forum and found a wide variety of information. Here is what I do. Always welcome to more tips. I'm hoping this could turn into good thread on that users can refer to
After vaccuming ash and cleaning, use 3-1 motor/bearing oil for the following:
-Place a few drops on the set screw and shaft for front part combustion blower (behind ash box). Place a few drops on the rear shaft of combustion blower and oil the bearing that rotats on the combustion blower.
-Place a drop of oil on set screw for distribution fan.
Clean fines box
-Add few drops to 2 bushings in fines box.
-Take spray graphite (bought from Napa), spray into auger and into rear of auger. Spray slide plate from underneath with the graphite as well.
Auger motor/housing
- A a drop to the round wheel that engages the slide plate as it turns.
- Place oil on Q-tip and go over auger motor shaft (where it connects to set screw) and where it spins on the motor.
- Few drops on auger bearing (behind set screw)
- Oil the fan that spins behind auger motor.
Auger
- Mix graphite with pellets and add once a month.
- Take spray graphite and spray a into the auger from the front.
ESP Probe
- Im going to remove for the first time ( I normally clean with a brush). Plan on using water/towel to clean it.
I will also take the air compressor and completing blow out behind the stove to remove dust. Also good to use it to blow out the igintor area.
