III. USERS INFORMATION SECTION
A. OIL SUPPLY: Do not allow the fuel tank to run completely empty. During the summer, keep the
tank full to prevent condensation of moisture on the inside surface of the tank. If the fuel tank runs
completely dry, it may be necessary to purge the lines of trapped air. Contact a qualified technician to
bleed the lines and restart the burner.
OIL SUPPLY VALVE: Turn the oil supply valve off if the burner is shut down for an extended period of
time.
B. COMBUSTION AIR SUPPLY: The burner requires a generous amount of clean combustion air
to operate safely. Lack of adequate combustion air can result in erratic operation of the burner, noisy
combustion, or fuel odors in the air. NEVER BLOCK THE FURNACE FROM THE SUPPLY OF
COMBUSTION AIR. If there is an exhaust fan, dryer or return air grill in the furnace room, there should be
increased concern and additional efforts may be required to provide adequate combustion oil to the
furnace at all times.
C. INSPECTION AREAS
VESTIBULE: The furnace vestibule area or burner compartment should be inspected by removing the
front door of the furnace and looking for signs of excessive heat such as discoloration of components
materials damage, from rust or corrosion, soot or carbon build-up.
EXTERIOR OF FURNACE: The furnace exterior should be inspected for signs of excessive heat such as
discoloration of materials and damage from rust or corrosion.
FLUE PIPE, VENT PIPE OR CONNECTOR: The furnace vent pipe should be inspected for signs of rust,
corrosion pitting or holes in pipe, and leakage around seams in pipe, indicated by soot or condensate
streaks.
CHIMNEY OR VENTING SYSTEM: The furnace venting system should be inspected for signs of rust,
corrosion pitting or holes, and signs of condensation or moisture leakage from the venting system.
If any of the above symptoms are evident, call a qualified heating contractor for assistance.
