9. Set the left insert in place. Make sure the lower fire-
back is pushed all the way against the back plate.
Replace the 1/4-20 x 1
¹⁄₄
” self-tapping Phillips head
screw and tighten to hold the left insert in place.
10. Replace the right insert; it fits very tightly against
the fireback so you will have to hammer it into place
with the rubber mallet. Replace the 1/4-20 x 2” Phil-
lips head screw and tighten to hold the right insert
in place.
11. Hold the upper fireback, with the damper and
damper linkage attached, inside the stove. Turn the
assembly to a vertical position to hook the damper
link onto the damper rod (damper handle should be
pointing downward). Turn the assembly clockwise
to a level position to engage the damper link.
12. Have your assistant raise the upper fireback and
damper into place and raise the damper link. Hold
the upper fireback securely in place on top of the
lower fireback and operate the damper handle to
check for free movement.
13. Move the damper to its locked, closed position:
damper up, damper handle pointing down.
14. Wear protective eyewear for this step. Reaching
in through the front door opening, hold the upper
fireback and the damper firmly in place with one
hand (or have your assistant hold them from behind
the stove) and drill two holes through the stove
back using the two slots in the upper fireback as
guides for the drill bit. On the left slot, drill as close
as possible to the inside of the slot so you clear the
thermostat cover on the stove back. If by chance
there is not enough room to tighten the acorn nut,
you will have to mark the spot on the thermostat
cover, remove it and grind an opening in the edge
of the thermostat cover.
15. Insert the two 1/4-20 x 1” hex bolts through the
holes and tighten the acorn nuts onto them.
16. Again, check the damper for free movement, open
and closed, and into its locking position.
17. Re-line the Resolute stove bottom with sand or
ashes.
REMEMBER:
You will have to begin a break-in proce-
dure as described in your Operation Manual of 8 to 10
moderate fires to temper the cast iron in the replace-
ment castings.
