BURNER SETUP & BOILER OPERATION
5. BURNER SETUP & BOILER OPERATION
Burn only #2 Fuel Oil in this
CAUTION appliance. Do not use gasoline, crankcase drainings or any oil containing gasoline.
A.BURNER INSTALLATION
1.The oil burner is supplied with a mounting flange fixed in position.
2.Mount the burner to the burner mounting plate (item 5) with four (4) 5/16" studs and nuts provided.
Be sure high temperature gasket is NOTICE between the burner mounting flange
and the burner mounting plate.
3.Care must be taken when routing the oil lines so not to interfere with the opening and closing of the burner mounting plate. Flexible oil lines or flared copper disconnects with valves (when copper lines are used) may be installed to assure full opening of the burner mounting plate when servicing.

2.Low Water
D.PURGE AIR FROM THE SYSTEM (WATER BOILERS ONLY)
1.Purge the system using purge valves, isolating zones in the process or use system vents. Do not operate the pump(s) while purging. Pumps will hold air in the eye of the impeller.
2.Allow the system to reach 180°F and use manual vents, if installed, to remove any remaining air. Watch the pressure gauge as the system approaches 180°F. If the pressure exceeds the design operating pressure, check:
a.Fill valve pressure.
b.Expansion or compression tank operation and sizing.
