Why do my DaVinci kiln sections move out of alignment or slide off the floor slab over time?
- If a DaVinci is installed on a smooth floor and the lid is opened a lot, or left open for long periods of time, the weight of the lid will cause the counterbalance to want to lean forward.
- When this happens, the top section of the kiln slides forward and the bottom section slides backward- slowly, over time.
- To counter this, the kiln needs to be anchored.
- You must bolt both the bottom of the counterbalance to the floor and the top of the counterbalance- where the safety chains hang- to the wall.
- If you just anchor one or the other, the kiln will still migrate over time.
