PRECAUTIONS
AIR FOR COMBUSTION
Do not install burner in room with insufficient air for combustion. Be sure there is an
adequate air supply for combustion if the boiler/furnace room is enclosed. An opening
of at least twice the area of the flue should be available, or one square foot of area
for every gallon of firing rate. It is important to have one opening near the floor, and
one near the ceiling. It may be necessary to create a window to permit a sufficient air
to enter the boiler/furnace room. The installer must follow local ordinances in this
regard. Should local ordinances be lacking, it is suggested that the installer follow
NFPA manual # 31.
CHIMNEY
Be sure chimney is sufficient to handle the exhaust gases. It is recommended that
only the burner be connected to the chimney. Be sure that it is clean and clear of
obstructions.
OIL FILTER
An external oil filter is REQUIRED, even though there is an internal strainer in the pump.
The filter should be replaced at least once a year, and the filter container should be
throughly cleaned prior to installing a new filter cartridge.
DRAFT
Follow the instructions furnished with the heating appliance.
The pressure in the combustion area should be kept as close to zero as possible.
The burner will operate with a slight draft or pressure in the chamber.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
All electrical connections should be done in accordance with the National Electrical
Code, and all local ordinances. In most localities, a number 14 wire should be used
inside a metal conduit. The system should be grounded. A service switch should be
placed close to the burner on a fireproof wall in an easily accessible location.
CONTROL BURNER OPERATION
Check out the burner and explain its operation to the homeowner. Be sure to leave
the Owner's Instruction sheet with the homeowner.
FIRE EXTINGUISHER
If required by local codes, install an approved fire extinguisher.
