Heavy Smoke Hazard

Failure to bleed the pump properly could result in unstable combustion, hot gas puff-back and heavy smoke.

yDo not allow oil to intermittently spray into a hot combustion chamber while bleeding.

yInstall a gauge in the nozzle discharge port tubing or fully open the pump bleed valve to prevent oil spray from accumulating in the combustion chamber when venting air from the fuel pump.

yEnsure that all bubbles and froth are purged from the oil supply system before tightening the pump air bleed valve.

yTo vent air from one-pipe oil systems, attach a clear hose to the vent plug on the fuel unit. Provide a container to catch the oil. Loosen the vent plug.

yVent the air as described under ‘Start the Burner’.
