This type of furnace is of slightly different construction than the Steam or Hot Water Boiler and therefore requires different treatment. With a Hot Air Furnace you . will find it advantageous to open the turn damper wide when you are shaking the grates or put- ting on fresh coal. Opening the turn damp- er during these operations per- § mits - any dust or gus to im- mediafely pass up the chim- ney. It is most important, however, that the turn damper be put back in its nearly closed position as soon as the shak- ing and refueling is completed. n this connection you will find it helpful to mark the normal posi- tion of the turn damper on the -smoke pipe, It will then be an easy matter to close the turn damper to exactly the same posi- tion that it was in before shakin and firing.
