Installation Checklist
Startup
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO START BURNER IF ANY OF THE
FOLLOWING CONDITIONS EXIST:
1. Excess oil has accumulated.
2. The unit is full of vapours.
NOTE: Refer to the instruction manual supplied with the
burner for installation, start up and adjustment.
After the installation is finished and the installation checklist
completed, proceed as follows:
1. Set the draft regulator for full draft.
2. Turn on oil at the tank. Adjust the air band on the burn-
er according to the instructions provided by the burner
manufacturer.
3. Close the inspection cover on the burner mounting
panel, and press the reset button on the combustion
safety control.
4. Set electric switch to “ON” position. The burner should
start.
5. Make the air adjustment and take the necessary com-
bustion test readings as specified by the burner manu-
facturer.
Water Temperature Regulation
Once installed, the operation will be completely automatic.
The thermostat (aquastat) on the water heater is adjustable
and will maintain water at the desired temperature.
Thermostats are factory set at 49°C (120°F). Contact a qual-
ified Oil-Burner Technician for adjustment. Set the tank ther-
mostat as low as possible to provide an adequate supply of
hot water. This will conserve oil and extend the life of the
tank.
