Step 4. From this position the door can be swung
clear of the vertical circulator return piping to 
provide full access to the combustion chamber 
and burner head (see Figure 11B, Position 3).
2. Perform routine inspection, service or cleaning as
necessary.
3. To close Burner Swing Door (see Figures 11A and
11B):
Step 1. From the fully open position, rotate Burner
Swing Door toward the closed position. Make
sure that the articulated hinge is rotated to the 
extreme left position to allow the door to clear 
the vertical circulator return piping as shown in 
Figure 11B, Position 2.
Step 2. Grasp the door's left side hinge fl ange
in your left hand and place your right hand 
under the burner air tube to lift upward. Lift 
the door up unto the built-in cast ramp/door 
rest (protruding from the bottom of the front 
section casting - see Figure 11A), while rotating 
the articulated hinge and door to the right and 
engaging the slot (on right side of door) unto the 
5/16" stud protruding from the front section.
Step 3. Use one hand to help hold door in position
by lifting up on rear burner housing or applying 
pressure directly to the door while re-installing 
the securing hardware with your opposite hand. 
Always install right side latching hardware
(5/16" fl ange nut and fl at washer) fi rst, then 
install left side hinge hardware (5/16" x 3-
1/2" lg. hex head fl ange bolt) second. Apply
additional pressure while hand tightening the 
hardware as far as possible, then release the 
pressure.

Step 4. Use a hand wrench to tighten door hardware
and always start with the right side fl ange 
nut fi rst.  Use an alternating tightening method 
from right side fl ange nut to left side fl ange 
bolt to tighten door equally until sealed without 
applying excessive torque. Never tighten left 
side fl ange bolt fi rst or tighten either piece of 
hardware 100% without using the alternating 
tightening method described above.
Failure to follow the prescribed procedure could
cause thread damage to casting or a leak in the 
door seal. If left side fl ange bolt is tightened 
before right side fl ange nut, right side of door 
can not be drawn-in to provide an air tight seal, 
as shown in Figure 11C. Applying excessive 
torque will only cause thread damage.
