F. BURNER INSTALLATION:
NOTICE:
Remove all cardboard packing from around chamber before installing burner.
The oil burner will mount on three stud mounting bolts on the lower mounting plate covering the opening in the
front of the heat exchanger. The end of the burner tube should be inserted no further than 1/4 inch back from the
inside surface of the combustion chamber. A distance further than 1/4 inch back from the inside chamber wall may
cause impingement and sooting. This unit is equipped with a chamber retainer (refer to Fig.8). This retainer secures
the chamber during shipping and helps to maintain insertion depth. DO NOT remove this retainer when installing
burner.

When mounting the burner, the mounting plate (Fig. 8) must be removed to provide access to the area in front of the
combustion chamber. A fiber insulating sleeve or amulet is provided on the burner tube of specific Thermo Pride
burners.(see Fig. 9). See Thermo Pride burner application chart for type of insulator. Do not allow the burner tube
or end cone to physically touch or protrude into the chamber, as excess heat transfer could result in destruction of
the tube, end cone or both. The burner tube/end cone is properly positioned, when the end is ¼ inch back from the
inside surface of the combustion chamber wall.
