Maintenance

A. Motor, Blower Wheel, & Coupling Replacement

The motor will require replacement if the proper voltage is measured at the motor input, and the motor will either not run, or the current draw with a free running pump exceeds 10% of the rated current.

To replace the burner motor, coupling and/or blower wheel perform the following steps.

1.Before servicing, turn off and/or disconnect all power to the burner.

2.Disconnect the burner motor wires.

3.Remove the bolts securing the motor to the burner housing.

4.Remove the motor, coupling, and blower wheel.

5.Loosen the set screw on the blower wheel to slide the existing wheel off the shaft.

6.Slide the new blower wheel onto the old shaft (after thoroughly cleaning housing) and/or slide the old blower wheel onto the new motor shaft.

7.When replacing the blower wheel, verify the wheel is centered between the two sides of the burner housing as shown.

B. Pump Maintenance

General Pump Information

Important information - Long or oversized inlet lines may require the pump to operate dry during initial bleeding period. In such cases, the priming may be assisted by injecting fuel oil in the pump gear set. Under lift conditions, lines and fittings must be air tight. To assure this, “Pipe Dope” may be applied to both the used and unused inlet and return fittings. Do NOT

use Teflon tape or compression fittings.

Mounting Position

Beckett CleanCut pump may be mounted in any position (except upside-down in a single pipe installation).

Vacuum Check

A Vacuum Gauge may be installed in either of the 1/4” NPT inlet ports.

Pressure Check

Use the nozzle port when performing a pressure check. If the bleed port is used, the reading on the gauge should be approximately 5 psig higher than the pressure reading on the nozzle port. See Figure 8.

Cutoff Check

To check cutoff pressure dead head a pressure gauge in the nozzle port. Run the burner for a short period of time. Shut the burner off. The pressure will drop and hold above zero.

8.Rotate the blower wheel until the set screw is centered on the flat of the motor shaft. Tighten the set screw to secure the wheel.

9.Slide the motor coupling on the motor shaft then install the motor on the burner housing. Insure that the motor coupling fits between the motor shaft and the pump shaft inside the housing. Tighten the motor retaining screws. Reconnect the wires.

10.Restore power, start the burner and perform the combustion test described previously in this manual.

Pressurized or gravity feed installations

These installations must not exceed 3 psig on inlet line or return line at the pump per NFPA 31. A pressure greater than 10 psig may cause damage to the shaft seal.
