clogging of air openings. Lifting or blowing flame indi-
cates high gas pressure. Low flame indicates low gas
pressure.

for soot and examine venting system.
2. Remove rear header and inspect for scale
deposits, and/or accelerated erosion.
*3. Inspect pilot and main burner flame and firing rate.
*4. Inspect and operate all controls and gas valve.
*5. Visually inspect system for water leaks.
*6. a. Oil pump motor and bearing assembly, if oil
cups are provided.
b. Disconnect pump from header and check condi-
