Service Required

Tampering with or making incorrect adjustments could lead to equip- ment malfunction and result in asphyxiation, explosion or ﬁre.

yDo not tamper with the burner or controls or make any adjustments unless you are a trained and qualiﬁed service technician.

yTo ensure continued reliable operation, a qualiﬁed service technician must service this burner annually.

yMore frequent service intervals may be required in dusty or adverse environments.

yOperation and adjustment of the burner requires technical training and skillful use of combustion test instruments and other test equipment.

Annual service — by qualiﬁed service techni- cian

Have the burner inspected, tested and started at least annually by a qualiﬁed service technician. This annual test/inspection should include at least the following:

Replace the oil supply line ﬁlter. The line ﬁlter cartridge must be replaced to avoid contamination of the fuel unit and nozzle.

Inspect the oil supply system. All ﬁttings should be leak- tight. The supply lines should be free of water, sludge and other restrictions.

Remove and clean the pump strainer if applicable.

Replace the nozzle with the exact brand, pattern, gph, ﬂow rate and spray angle.

Clean and inspect the electrodes for damage, replacing any that are cracked or chipped.

Check electrode tip settings. Replace electrodes if tips are rounded.

Inspect the igniter spring contacts.

Clean the cad cell lens surface, if necessary.

Inspect all gaskets. Replace any that are damaged or would fail to seal adequately.

Inspect the combustion head and air tube. Remove any carbon or foreign matter. Replace all damaged units with exact parts.

Clean the blower wheel, air inlet, air guide, burner hous- ing and static plate of any lint or foreign material.

If motor is not permanently lubricated, oil motor with a few drops of SAE 20 nondetergent oil at each oil hole. DO NOT over oil motor. Excessive oiling can cause mo- tor failure.

Check motor current. The amp draw should not exceed the nameplate rating.

Check all wiring for secure connections or insulation breaks.

Check the pump pressure and cutoff function.

Check primary control safety lockout timing.

Check ignition system for proper operation.

Inspect the vent system and chimney for soot accumula- tion or other restriction.

Clean the appliance thoroughly according to the manufac- turer’s recommendations.

Check the burner performance. Refer to the section “Set combustion with test instruments”.

It is good practice to make a record of the service per- formed and the combustion test results.

Monthly maintenance — by owner

Observe combustion air openings and vent system for integrity. Openings must be clean and free of obstructions.

Check oil lines and ﬁttings to verify there are no leaks.

Observe burner ignition and performance to verify smooth operation.

Shut the system down if you observe abnormal or questionable operation. Call a qualiﬁed service agency for professional inspection and service.
