hausted from building. If the building contains any exhaust fans or
conditions that could affect vent performance, check burner/appliance/
vent operation with exhaust fans (or other conditions) operating.
Combustion/ventilation air

structed.

Annual start-up & service
This burner must be started and serviced at least annually
by a qualifi ed service technician. Failure to properly maintain
and service the burner could result in severe personal injury,
death or substantial property damage.
• Discuss burner/appliance operation with user to determine any problems
that may have occurred during the previous season and to verify user
is aware of proper operation and care of the burner/appliance.
• Review proper operation of the appliance/burner unit with the user.
• Turn off power to appliance.
• Remove combustion head assembly to clean and adjust if necessary.
(See procedure on page 9.)
• If the inside surface of the air tube and/or retention ring need to be
cleaned, clean them with a vacuum cleaner with brush attachment
while the combustion head assembly is out of the burner.
• Replace the oil nozzle with the correct size specifi ed in Table 1, page
3.
• Inspect and adjust the ignition electrodes and insulators per instructions
on page 9 of this manual. Replace if proper spacing cannot be achieved
or if components are damaged.
• Close the housing cover plate and secure in place.
• Inspect the fuel line oil fi lter. Replace if necessary.
Oil line fi lters — Use a non-bypassing fi lter to prevent nozzle
plugging caused by poor oil fi ltration. Non-bypassing fi lters
prevent small foreign particles from bypassing the fi lter, a
common problem with fi ber element type fi lters. Another
problem of some fi lters is the fi ber from fi lter element tears
can break away and plug the nozzle or fuel unit.
• Perform the complete checkout procedures of pages 13 to 23, including
system inspection and checks.
