MAINTENANCE
LUBRICATION
No lubrication is required for either the burner or the blower motor. Both are permanently lubricated.
INSPECT AIR FILTER
Replace filters before each heating season begins. It is recommended that filters also be replaced at least twice during the heating season.
Be sure the new filters are set securely in the filter rack so there can be minimal leakage around them.
FINAL INSPECTION AND TEST
Final inspection and test of an installation shall be made to determine that the work has been done in full accordance with regulations and according to the highest standards for safety, performance and appearance. Such an inspection and test should indicate the following as a minimum:
1.Determine that all parts of the oil storage and circulating system, including tank, piping and burner, are free from oil leaks. Be sure that no oil discharges from the nozzle when burner is not operating.
2.Be sure that the suction line and pump have been entirely vented of air so that the burner has instantaneous oil shutoff at the nozzle and so that the pump operates without an air noise.
3.Check the flame adjustment to determine that the flame is clear, quiet, free of odor and oil nozzle is of proper size for the furnace.
4.Test operation of burner by operating the thermostat. First, set the thermostat above room temperature. Burner should start. Second, set thermostat below room temperature. Burner will stop.
5.Check operation of burner primary control in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions included with the control. Following is the method we recommend in checking the safety switch in this primary control.
A.Flame Failure – Simulate by shutting off oil supply manual valve while burner is on. Within 9 seconds the control will shut the burner down and flash a diagnostic code of 1/2 second on / 1/2 second off. Ignition and motor stop and oil valve closes
B.Ignition Failure – Test by closing oil supply while burner is off. Run through starting procedure. The primary control will attempt three trials for ignition. After three attempts, the control will lockout.
C.Power Failure – Turn off power supply
while burner is on. When burner goes out, restore power and burner will restart.
D.If operation is not as described, check wiring and installation first. If trouble appears to be in the control circuit, replace the flame detector. If trouble still persists, refer to “Common Causes of Trouble” section on page 28.
SERVICE HINTS
Preventive maintenance is the best way to avoid unnecessary expense, inconvenience, and retain operating efficiency of your furnace. It is advisable to have your heating system and burner inspected at periodic intervals by a qualified serviceman. If trouble develops, follow these simple checks before calling the serviceman.
1.Make sure there is oil in tank and valve is open.
2.Make sure thermostat is set above room temperature.
3.Make sure electrical supply to furnace is on and fuses are not blown or circuit breakers tripped.
4.Reset safety switch of burner primary control.
CAUTION
Reset three (3) times only. More than three resets can cause excessive oil to be pumped into combustion chamber which could result in explosion upon ignition.
5.Press thermal protector button of burner motor.
6.Make sure air filters are in place and are clean.
7.Make sure all air openings in furnace, all ventilation and combustion air openings, all return air grilles, and all warm air registers are unobstructed and open.
