OIL BURNER MAINTENANCE
MAINTENANCE AT THE END OF THE HEATING
SEASON:
1. Shut off electric current to burner at fuse panel.
2. If oil filter has not been cleaned recently, it should be
removed and cleaned. (Consult instruction card
furnished with fuel unit).
3. Oil storage tank should be kept filled to prevent water
vapor from collecting. It is suggested the valve in the
suction line be closed. Oil storage tank should be
cleaned every 2 or 3 years. This is to remove any
sediment or water that has collected in tank.
MAINTENANCE AT THE START OF THE HEATING
SEASON:
1. It is advisable to have a service technician inspect
and service your burner.
2. Heating plant, smoke pipe and chimney should be
cleaned and checked for repairs.
3. It is advisable to have the entire electrical system
inspected before putting the burner into operation.
This is due to it standing idle for the summer months.
This should include primary relay, limit control,
thermostat.
Check the electrodes for carbon and cracks in insulators.
Also check for corrosion on all terminals of the
electrodes and transformer.
AIR FILTER MAINTENANCE:
Check and clean monthly. Change filter at least twice a
year.
BLOWER MOTOR MAINTENANCE:
If motor has oil caps, oil twice yearly.
CAUTION:
The furnace has a high efficiency "fiber-type
refractory" combustion chamber. Normal servicing
of this unit does not require cleaning of the
combustion chamber. Use EXTREME caution if it
becomes necessary to work in the area of the
combustion chamber. This pyrolite chamber should
be checked monthly. Replace if damaged or worn.
GUN ASSEMBLY ADJUSTMENT
The gun assembly can be adjusted in the slot of the fan
housing. This is done by loosening the screw holding the
slot cover in position. Adjust nozzle tip so it is located 7/8"
behind the front face of the burner cone.
