Required Tools:

• Pliers (for wire connectors)

Installation Steps:

1. Power Disconnection: IMPORTANT: Unplug the pellet stove from the electrical outlet to ensure no power is supplied.
2. Access the Auger Motor: Locate the existing auger motor on your pellet stove. This typically involves removing a rear or side access panel. Refer to your stove's specific manual for exact access procedures.
3. Disconnect Wiring: Carefully disconnect the electrical wires from the old auger motor. Note their connection points if they are not color-coded.
4. Remove Old Motor: Unbolt or unscrew the old auger motor from its mounting bracket. Gently pull the motor and auger shaft assembly out.
5. Inspect Auger Shaft: While the motor is removed, inspect the auger shaft for any obstructions, wear, or damage. Clean any pellet dust or debris.
6. Install New Motor: Position the new Pellethead PU-047040 auger motor onto the mounting bracket. Ensure the auger shaft properly engages with the motor's drive shaft. Secure the motor with the appropriate bolts or screws.
7. Connect Wiring: Connect the new motor's wire leads to the stove's electrical connections. The motor is designed for easy connection.
8. Verify Rotation (Optional): The motor is factory-set to rotate counter-clockwise (CCW) when facing the shaft. If your stove requires clockwise (CW) rotation, the motor can be adjusted. Consult your stove's manual or a qualified technician for specific instructions on reversing motor rotation, if necessary.
9. Secure Access Panel: Replace any access panels removed during installation.
10. Restore Power: Plug the pellet stove back into the electrical outlet.

6. Operating Instructions

As a component, the auger motor operates automatically as part of your pellet stove's feeding system. Once installed, its operation is controlled by the stove's internal thermostat and control board.

• The motor will activate to feed pellets into the burn pot when the stove calls for heat.
• The 1 RPM speed ensures a consistent and controlled pellet delivery rate.
• The motor's design promotes cooler operation, contributing to its longevity and reliable performance.

Refer to your pellet stove's main instruction manual for detailed operating procedures of the stove itself.

7. Maintenance

The Pellethead auger motor is designed for minimal maintenance. However, regular inspection of your pellet stove's auger system is recommended.

• Annual Inspection: Annually, or at the beginning of each heating season, inspect the auger motor and shaft for any signs of wear, damage, or excessive pellet dust buildup.
• Cleaning: Ensure the area around the auger motor is free from pellet dust and debris. A build-up of dust can impede proper function or lead to overheating. Use a vacuum cleaner or brush to remove any accumulation.
• Lubrication: The motor's gearbox is sealed and does not require external lubrication. Do not attempt to lubricate internal components.
