Bolt the auto-

matic draft control to 

the bottom door. Be 

sure to hold the unit 

straight while tighten-

ing. After the auto-

matic draft control 

is mounted, the two 

wires must be strung 

through the flexible 

conduit and two fittings 

supplied. The knockout 

plug of the junction box 

must be removed to in-

stall the conduit fitting. 

Check the door of the 

automatic draft control to assure proper operation. 

warning:

 Keep pieces of wood or coal out of the 

draft door opening mechanism, as this could cause 

the door to stick. 

NOTE: Oil the hinge at the begining of the heating 

season with a light oil. 

 

The junction box is best mounted on the side 

of the furnace about  in. back and 8 in. from the top 

of the sheet metal side. (fig. C or D) If this location is 

inconvenient, anywhere on the right side will work.

SF1500, SF2500, SF3500.

 

This figure represents the models; SF1500, 

SF500, and SF3500. It’s intention is to represent 

the approximate location of the various controls. 

This drawing may also be used as a recommenda-

tion for routing of the 

wiring and approxi-

mate dimension of 

control spacing.

 

Please note 

that this drawing is for 

reference only. Each 

specific installation will 

vary.  

Furnace Installation

Installing wood/Coal high limit Switch- 

SF600 only.

 

First, install the sheet metal sides as de-

scribed in the previous section. Install the snap disc 

switch into the hole on the right side sheet metal. 

Then mount the open backed junction box around 

the snap switch. Proceed with wiring as shown on 

page 0. Also refer to Figure D. in this section. 

mounting The Oil burner- 

SF600 only.

 

Remove oil burner unit from it’s box. Loosen 

the four bolts in the pipe on the front of the furnace. 

Insert the nose of the oil gun into the pipe. Before 

sliding the oil burner all the way in, apply the gasket 

around the nose of the oil gun by wrapping it around 

the nose. Next, slide the oil burner into the pipe and 

secure it by tightening the four bolts around the col-

lar.  Be sure to tighten the bolts evenly to locate the 

oil burner in the center of the pipe. The final set-up 

of the oil burner should be done by an experienced 

oil burner technician with the proper equipment. Re-

fer to the SF600 wiring diagram on page 0 and the 

oil burner manual for proper burner set-up. There is 

also a section at the end of this manual with specific 

oil burner instructions.

venting guidelines.

 

 

Your Harman hot-air furnace must be vented 

to it’s own separate flue-lined “Class A” chimney, 

not less than 8” X 8” in size. The chimney must be 

capable of providing a draft reading of at least .06” 

water column on a draft meter, in order to function 

properly. The Chimney must be a minimum of 6 

ft. high, and must be two feet higher than anything 

within 0 ft. The chimney must also be at least 3 ft. 

higher than the point at which it exits or passes by 

the roof. A barometric damper must be installed in 

the flue to eliminate excessive draft. Any horizontal 

sections of connector pipe must have at least /4 in. 

per foot rise. Limit the number of elbows to two or 

less. All joints in the connector pipe must be secured 

with sheet metal screws. 

Assembly.

 

Bolt the shaker handle to the block on the 

lower left side of the furnace, using the bolts and 

lock-washers provided. 

 

Bolt the two manual draft controls to the 

front load door. Proper installation allows the draft 

controls to open approximately /” from the door 

surface. See Figure .
