Start the Burner and Set Combustion

•Connect Fuel Lines

!WARNING Do Not Install By-pass Plug with 1-Pipe System

Failure to comply could cause immediate pump seal failure, pressurized oil leakage and the po- tential for a fire and injury hazard.

•The burner is shipped without the by-pass plug in- stalled.

•Install the by-pass plug in two-pipe oil supply systems ONLY.

The R7184 primary control with valve-on delay and burner motor-off delay, shown in Figure 4, requires a constant 120 volt AC power source supplied to the black wire on the control. (Refer to the appli- ance manufacturer’s instructions. The red wire goes to the appliance limit circuit. Please note that other control manufacturers may use different wire colors for power and limit connections.

Start the Burner and Set Combustion

•Startup burner

The burner is supplied with either a one-stage pump or a two-stage pump based on the oil supply system requirements. Consult the instructions pro- vided with the pump for installation specifications.

! CAUTION Oil Supply Pressure Control Required

Damage to the filter or pump seals could cause oil leakage and a fire hazard.

•The oil supply inlet pressure to the burner cannot exceed 3 psig.

•Insure that a pressure limiting device is installed in accordance with the latest edition of NFPA 31.

•Gravity Feed Systems: Always install an anit- siphon valve in the oil supply line or a solenoid valve (RWB Part # 2182602U) in the pump/noz- zle discharge tubing to provide backup oil flow cut-off protection.

When installing a one-pipe system, connect the inlet line to the pump inlet. The fuel pump may be installed with gravity feed or lift. The maximum al- lowable lift for a single pipe installation is 8 ft.

When installing a two-pipe system, remove the 1/16” pipe by-pass plug from plastic bag attached to fuel unit. Remove 1/4” plug from return port. Insert and tighten the by-pass plug. Attach return and inlet lines. The return line should terminate ap- proximately 3 to 4 inches above supply line inlet. Failure to do this may introduce air into the system and could result in loss of prime.

•Wiring Connections Diagram

Refer to the appliance manufacturer’s wiring dia- gram prior to connecting the burner wiring. All wir- ing must be in accordance with the latest revision of National Electric Code NFPA 70 and all local codes and regulations.

!WARNING Explosion and Fire Hazard

Failure to follow these instructions could lead to equipment malfunc- tion and result in heavy smoke emission, soot-up, hot gas puff- back, fire and asphyxiation hazards.

•Do not attempt to start the burner when excess oil has accumulated in the appliance, the appliance is full of vapor, or when the combustion chamber is very hot.

•Do not attempt to re-establish flame with the burner running if the flame becomes extinguished during start-up, venting, or adjustment.

•Vapor-Filled Appliance: Allow the unit to cool off and all vapors to dissipate before attempting an- other start.

•Oil-Flooded Appliance: Shut off the electrical power and the oil supply to the burner and then clear all accumulated oil before continuing.

•If the condition still appears unsafe, contact the Fire Department. Carefully follow their directions.

•Keep a fire extinguisher nearby and ready for use.

1.Open the shutoff valves in the oil supply line to the burner.

2.Open the air dial. This is an initial air setting for the pump bleeding procedure only. Additional ad- justments must be made with instruments.

3.Set the thermostat substantially above room tem- perature.

4.Close the line voltage switch to start the burner. If the burner does not start immediately you may have to reset the safety switch of the burner pri- mary control.

5.Bleed air from the fuel unit as soon as burner mo- tor starts rotating. To bleed the fuel unit, attach a clear plastic hose over the vent fitting. Loosen the fitting and catch the oil in an empty container. Tighten the fitting when all air has been purged from the oil supply system.
